Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 66:
- If a whole number divides 66 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 66 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 66 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 66
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 66 (√66 ) are possible divisor factors of 66
- √66 = 8.124
- Possible Divisor Factors of 66: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 66 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 66 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 6, 7
- Divide 66 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 66: 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66
- Factor Pairs of 66: (1*66) (2*33) (3*22) (6*11)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
