Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 25:
- If a whole number divides 25 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 25 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 25 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 25
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 25 (√25 ) are possible divisor factors of 25
- √25 = 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 25: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 25 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 25 (filtered): 1, 5
- Divide 25 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25
- Factor Pairs of 25: (1*25) (5*5)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
