Problem 124
Question
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. Find two factors of 8 whose sum is 6
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The two factors of 8 that add up to 6 are 2 and 4.
1Step 1: Identify the Factors of 8
Finding factors involves listing pairs of numbers that, when multiplied, will give the original number - in this case, 8. The factor pairs of 8 are \( (1, 8) \) and \( (2, 4) \).
2Step 2: Identify which Pair Sums to 6
Now, we need to find a pair of factors from Step 1 that add to 6. By looking at our factor pairs, we can see that if we add the numbers in the pair \( (2, 4) \), we get 6. So, the two factors that we are looking for are 2 and 4, since 2+4 = 6.
