How to Calculate Factor Pairs of 42
Step-by-Step Process
To find all factor pairs of 42, we need to identify all integers that divide 42 evenly (with no remainder).
- Start with the smallest factor, which is always 1
- Check each integer from 1 up to the square root of 42 (v42 ≈ 6.48)
- For each factor found, its corresponding pair is calculated by dividing 42 by that factor
Calculation Example
Let's work through finding the factor pairs of 42:
| Factor Check | Division | Result | Factor Pair |
|---|---|---|---|
| 42 ÷ 1 | 42.00 | Integer result | (1, 42) |
| 42 ÷ 2 | 21.00 | Integer result | (2, 21) |
| 42 ÷ 3 | 14.00 | Integer result | (3, 14) |
| 42 ÷ 4 | 10.50 | Not a divisor | - |
| 42 ÷ 5 | 8.40 | Not a divisor | - |
| 42 ÷ 6 | 7.00 | Integer result | (6, 7) |
