Martha is trying to find a factor pair for the number 62 she says that because 62 is an even number then two has to be one of the factors in the factor pair do you agree with Martha's reasoning if you agree then find the missing factory if you disagree find another factor pair for 62 and either case make sure you explain how you use one factor to find the other factor pair
I disagree with Martha's reasoning. Although 62 is an even number, it does not necessarily mean that 2 has to be one of the factors in the factor pair. It is possible for an even number to have factor pairs with other even or odd numbers.
To find another factor pair for 62, we can start by dividing 62 by 2 (since it is the most common factor when dealing with even numbers).
62 ÷ 2 = 31
Therefore, the factor pair for 62 is (2, 31). The number 62 has other factor pairs, such as (1, 62) and (31, 2), but the most common and simplest one is (2, 31).
Yes, I agree with Martha's reasoning. Since 62 is an even number, it is divisible by 2. By dividing 62 by 2, we can find the other factor in the factor pair.
62 ÷ 2 = 31
Therefore, the factor pair for 62 is (2, 31).
