You can use counters to help you represent the number 32 in this problem.

Question

There are 32 marbles, and 32 has 3 factor pairs.
One factor pair is 1 group of 32 counters. What are the other two factor pairs?

Answer 1

To find the factor pairs of 32, we need to identify two numbers that, when multiplied together, equal 32.

The known factor pair is:

1. \(1 \times 32\)

Now, let's find the other pairs:

2. \(2 \times 16\)
3. \(4 \times 8\)

Thus, the three factor pairs of 32 are:

1. \(1 \times 32\)
2. \(2 \times 16\)
3. \(4 \times 8\)
