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