Searching for Factorizations
The applet below makes it easier to search for rectangles given the number of unit squares. Since each rectangle represents a factorization of a number, searching for rectangles is the same as searching for factorizations.
TASK
Use the applet below to search for the factorizations of 8 and 10 and take note of your answers.
Question 1
What are the factorizations of 8?
Question 2
What are the factorizations of 10?
