How to Calculate Factor Pairs of 56
Step-by-Step Process
To find all factor pairs of 56, we need to identify all integers that divide 56 evenly (with no remainder).
- Start with the smallest factor, which is always 1
- Check each integer from 1 up to the square root of 56 (v56 ≈ 7.48)
- For each factor found, its corresponding pair is calculated by dividing 56 by that factor
Calculation Example
Let's work through finding the factor pairs of 56:
| Factor Check | Division | Result | Factor Pair |
|---|---|---|---|
| 56 ÷ 1 | 56.00 | Integer result | (1, 56) |
| 56 ÷ 2 | 28.00 | Integer result | (2, 28) |
| 56 ÷ 3 | 18.67 | Not a divisor | - |
| 56 ÷ 4 | 14.00 | Integer result | (4, 14) |
| 56 ÷ 5 | 11.20 | Not a divisor | - |
| 56 ÷ 6 | 9.33 | Not a divisor | - |
| 56 ÷ 7 | 8.00 | Integer result | (7, 8) |
