How to find the factors of 41
41 is prime, so the only pair you will find is 1 × 41. Work up from 1 to 6, and write down both numbers in every pair you find.
- 41 ÷ 1 = 41, so 1 × 41 is a pair.
- 2 does not go into 41 exactly.
- 3 does not go into 41 exactly.
- 4 does not go into 41 exactly.
- 5 does not go into 41 exactly.
- 6 does not go into 41 exactly.
Stop at 7: 7 × 7 = 49, which is more than 41. The next pair you would find is 41 × 1, which is 1 × 41 turned round, so you already have every pair.
