Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 41:
- If a whole number divides 41 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 41 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 41 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 41
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 41 (√41 ) are possible divisor factors of 41
- √41 = 6.4031
- Possible Divisor Factors of 41: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 41 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 41 (filtered): 1
- Divide 41 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 41: 1, 41
- Factor Pairs of 41: (1*41)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
