Question

How do you find all the factors of 44?

Answer 1

Find factors pairs.
$F_{44}=\{1,2,4,11,22,44\}$
Explanation:
A factor is a number which divides into a bigger number without leaving a remainder. A number is always a factor of itself.
Factors are always in pairs. Dividing by one factor will give you the other.
To find all the factors of a number, start from 1 and consider all the possible factors up to the square root of the number.
(The square root lies in the middle of the factors arranged in order)
$\sqrt{44}=6$... The only numbers we need to consider are
1, 2 3 4 5 6
1 is a factor : The factor is $1\times 44$
2 is a factor : The factor is $2\times 22$
3 is not a factor of 44
4 is a factor : The factor is $4\times 11$
5 is not a factor of 44
6 is not a factor of 44
The factors of 44 are therefore:
