Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 96:
- If a whole number divides 96 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 96 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 96 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 96
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 96 (√96 ) are possible divisor factors of 96
- √96 = 9.798
- Possible Divisor Factors of 96: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 96 by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9
- Possible Divisor Factors of 96 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8
- Divide 96 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 96: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 96
- Factor Pairs of 96: (1*96) (2*48) (3*32) (4*24) (6*16) (8*12)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
