The following question has two parts. First, answer part A. Then, answer part B. Part A Martina is trying to find a factor pair for the number 62. She says that because 62 is an even number, then 2 has to be one of the factors in a factor pair. Do you agree with Martina's reasoning? If you agree, find the missing factor. If you disagree, find another factor pair for 62. In either case, make sure you explain how you use one factor to find the other factor in the pair.

Answer 1

Part A:

Yes, I agree with Martina's reasoning. Since 62 is an even number, it is divisible by 2. Therefore, one factor in a factor pair for 62 is 2.

Part B:
To find the other factor in the pair, we can divide 62 by 2. This gives us:

62 ÷ 2 = 31

So, the other factor in the pair is 31. Therefore, a factor pair for 62 is (2, 31).
