Answer 1

Factors of 42 are...
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42.
1 x 42 = 42
2 x 21 = 42
3 x 14 = 42
6 x 7 = 42

Don't know how you want your table.
I'm sure you can do it yourself.

Answer 2

The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 42. The factor pairs are 1 and 42, 2 and 21, 3 and 14, 6 and 7.

Explanation:

The given number is 42.

The numbers that can divide 42 completely, are the factors of 42.

Since we know that 42 is completely divisible by 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 42, therefore the factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 42.

The list of factor pairs are shown below:

`1* 42=42`

`2* 21=42`

`3* 14=42`

`6* 7=42`

Therefore the factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 42. The factor pairs are 1 and 42, 2 and 21, 3 and 14, 6 and 7.
