Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 5:
- If a whole number divides 5 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 5 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 5 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 5
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 5 (√5 ) are possible divisor factors of 5
- √5 = 2.2361
- Possible Divisor Factors of 5: 1, 2
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 5 by 2
- Possible Divisor Factors of 5 (filtered): 1
- Divide 5 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 5: 1, 5
- Factor Pairs of 5: (1*5)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
