How can you write 54 as the product of two natural numbers?

1 and 54, 2 and 27, 3 and 18, 6 and 9

Practice makes perfect
The factors of a number are any natural numbers we can multiply to get that number. Let's write 54 as the product of two numbers in as many ways as possible.
54 Written as a Product of Two Numbers Factors
1 * 54=54 1 and 54
2 * 27=54 2 and 27
3 * 18=54 3 and 18
6 * 9=54 6 and 9

We found that 54 has 4 pairs of factors.
