Emilino needs to arrange chairs for a drama club

meeting at his school. There are 30 students coming.

What

are the different ways he can arrange the chairs so that each

row has the same number of chairs?

This is the same as saying "find the factors of 30". There

Answer:

(1 row & 30 columns) (2 rows & 15 columns) (3 rows & 10 columns) (5 rows & 6 columns) (6 rows & 5 columns)

Explanation:

1 * 30 = 30

2 * 15 = 30

3 * 10 = 30

5 * 6 = 30

6 * 5 = 30
