42

$42$

Step 1

The factors for

42

$42$ are all numbers between

- 42

$- 42$ and

42

$42$ , which divide

42

$42$ evenly.

Check numbers between

- 42

$- 42$ and

42

$42$

Step 2

Find the factor pairs of

42

$42$ where

x \cdot y = 42

$x \cdot y = 42$ .

\begin{matrix} x & y 1 & 42 2 & 21 3 & 14 6 & 7 - 1 & - 42 - 2 & - 21 - 3 & - 14 - 6 & - 7 \end{matrix}

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ 1 & 42 \\ 2 & 21 \\ 3 & 14 \\ 6 & 7 \\ - 1 & - 42 \\ - 2 & - 21 \\ - 3 & - 14 \\ - 6 & - 7 \end{array}$

Step 3

List the factors for
