Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 62:
- If a whole number divides 62 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 62 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 62 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 62
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 62 (√62 ) are possible divisor factors of 62
- √62 = 7.874
- Possible Divisor Factors of 62: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 62 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 62 (filtered): 1, 2, 7
- Divide 62 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 62: 1, 2, 31, 62
- Factor Pairs of 62: (1*62) (2*31)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
