Yes; the other factor is 0 since 0 ×
1 = 1.

Yes; the other factor is 0 since 0 × 1 = 1.

Yes; the other factor is 1 since 1 ×
1 = 1.

Yes; the other factor is 1 since 1 × 1 = 1.

No; any number times 0 is 0, so there is no way to know what the other factor is.

No; any number times 0 is 0, so there is no way to know what the other factor is.

No; any number times 1 is 1, so there is no way to know what the other factor is.

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to find the other factor when one factor is 1 and their product is 1.

Given:

• One factor = 1
• Product = 1

Let the other factor be \( x \). The equation can be set up as:

\[ 1 \times x = 1 \]

From this equation, we can conclude that:

\[ x = 1 \]

So, the other factor is 1.

The correct response is: "Yes; the other factor is 1 since 1 × 1 = 1."
