Question

ite numbers below.
if it’s composite, write two of its factor pairs.
3 40 composite
1, 40

Explanation:

Step1: Recall factor pairs

A factor pair of a number is two numbers that multiply to give that number. For 40, we start with 1 and 40: $1\times40 = 40$.

Step2: Find another factor pair

Next, we can use 2 and 20: $2\times20 = 40$. We could also use 4 and 10 ($4\times10 = 40$) or 5 and 8 ($5\times8 = 40$), but we just need two.

Answer:

Two factor pairs of 40 are (1, 40) and (2, 20) (other valid pairs like (4, 10) or (5, 8) can also be used).
