Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 70:
- If a whole number divides 70 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 70 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 70 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 70
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 70 (√70 ) are possible divisor factors of 70
- √70 = 8.3666
- Possible Divisor Factors of 70: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 70 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 70 (filtered): 1, 2, 5, 7
- Divide 70 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 70: 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70
- Factor Pairs of 70: (1*70) (2*35) (5*14) (7*10)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
