Question

complete each row of the factor table for... factors of 32 row 1 → yellow box 32

Explanation:

Step1: Recall factor definition

A factor of a number \( n \) is an integer that divides \( n \) without leaving a remainder. For \( 32 \), we start with the smallest positive integer factor, which is \( 1 \), since \( 1\times32 = 32 \).

Step2: Verify the factor pair

We know that if \( a\times b=32 \), then \( a \) and \( b \) are factors of \( 32 \). When \( b = 32 \), we solve for \( a \) by \( a=\frac{32}{32}=1 \). So the factor pair for \( 32 \) in the first row (where one factor is \( 32 \)) should be \( 1 \), because \( 1\times32 = 32 \).

Answer:

\( 1 \)
