Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 98:
- If a whole number divides 98 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 98 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 98 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 98
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 98 (√98 ) are possible divisor factors of 98
- √98 = 9.8995
- Possible Divisor Factors of 98: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 98 by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9
- Possible Divisor Factors of 98 (filtered): 1, 2, 7
- Divide 98 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 98: 1, 2, 7, 14, 49, 98
- Factor Pairs of 98: (1*98) (2*49) (7*14)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
