There are numerous factors of 252. The factors are 1 times 252, 2 times 126, 3 times 84, 4 times 63, 6 times 42, 7 times 36, 9 times 28, 12 times 21, and 14 times 18. Hope this helped :)!

Answer:

[tex]x \times y =252[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement "what times what equals 252" refers to the product between two unknown numbers which are equivalent to 252.

So, the statement can be expressed as

[tex]x \times x = 252[/tex]

Now, if we solve this expression, the result would be

[tex]x^{2} =252\\x=\sqrt{252}\\ x \approx 15.9[/tex]

Which is an approximation.

Also, this approximated results allow us to conclude that those unknown numbers are not the same.

Therefore, the statement is better expressed as

[tex]x \times y =252[/tex]

Where there are different solutions,

1 x 252 = 252

2 x 126 = 252

3 x 84 = 252

4 x 63 = 252

And so on...
