Factoring Worksheets Explained

Factoring expresses a number as a product of smaller value numbers. Hence, factoring is useful in solving multi-step arithmetic operation based problems as the higher value numbers are expressed in terms of smaller numbers that are easier to work with.

Factoring worksheets help deepen a student’s understanding of the concept and it prepares them for advanced and complex math topics in higher grades.

These fourth grade factoring worksheets are designed with problems covering different factoring methods and related concepts such as:

  • Factors and Factor Pairs - Students start by developing an understanding of the meaning of the factors of a number. Solving 4th grade worksheets based on factoring will enhance their ability to determine and identify factors and factor pairs of a number.

  • Factoring using Divisibility Rules - The 4th grade printable factoring worksheets present a diverse range of problems that can be solved by applying divisibility rules. Regular practice of solving these problems helps students automatically recall these rules, which in turn, boost their confidence. 

  • Factoring using arrays and trees - Interactive features of the online worksheets along with colorful visuals keep students engaged in solving problems based on factoring using rows and columns in an array. The factor tree method is vital in determining the prime factors of a number.

  • Relationship between factors and multiples - Grade 4 factoring worksheets present an array of problems on factors and multiples. These problems are aimed at making students understand the difference between a factor and a multiple of a number.
  • Prime and Composite Numbers - These worksheets cover problems on types of numbers based on the number of factors each number can be broken up into. Such problems revolve around determining whether a given number is prime or composite.
  • Number and Shape Patterns - A series of numbers or shapes following a pattern forms an integral part of the factoring topic in grade 4. The 4th grade factoring worksheets present varied problems on this concept with visual aids.
