All of the factors of a number are contained within the prime factorization in various combinations.
The prime factorization of 210 is 2 x 3 x 5 x 7. If I gave you the number 6 (2 x 3) you would know that the other number in the factor pair is the other two numbers, 5 x 7 or 35. If I gave you 15 (3 x 5) you would be able to find 14 (2 x 7)

Example: The prime factorization of 72 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
If your first factor is 4, cover up two of the twos. 2 x 3 x 3, or 18, is left.
(18,4) is one factor pair of 72.
