How to find the factors of 19
19 is prime, so the only pair you will find is 1 × 19. Work up from 1 to 4, and write down both numbers in every pair you find.
- 19 ÷ 1 = 19, so 1 × 19 is a pair.
- 2 does not go into 19 exactly.
- 3 does not go into 19 exactly.
- 4 does not go into 19 exactly.
Stop at 5: 5 × 5 = 25, which is more than 19. The next pair you would find is 19 × 1, which is 1 × 19 turned round, so you already have every pair.
