Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 31:
- If a whole number divides 31 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 31 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 31 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 31
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 31 (√31 ) are possible divisor factors of 31
- √31 = 5.5678
- Possible Divisor Factors of 31: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 31 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 31 (filtered): 1
- Divide 31 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 31: 1, 31
- Factor Pairs of 31: (1*31)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
