How to Calculate Factor Pairs of 6
Step-by-Step Process
To find all factor pairs of 6, we need to identify all integers that divide 6 evenly (with no remainder).
- Start with the smallest factor, which is always 1
- Check each integer from 1 up to the square root of 6 (v6 ≈ 2.45)
- For each factor found, its corresponding pair is calculated by dividing 6 by that factor
Calculation Example
Let's work through finding the factor pairs of 6:
| Factor Check | Division | Result | Factor Pair |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 ÷ 1 | 6.00 | Integer result | (1, 6) |
| 6 ÷ 2 | 3.00 | Integer result | (2, 3) |
