Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 68:
- If a whole number divides 68 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 68 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 68 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 68
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 68 (√68 ) are possible divisor factors of 68
- √68 = 8.2462
- Possible Divisor Factors of 68: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 68 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 68 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7, 8
- Divide 68 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 68: 1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68
- Factor Pairs of 68: (1*68) (2*34) (4*17)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
