Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 52:
- If a whole number divides 52 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 52 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 52 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 52
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 52 (√52 ) are possible divisor factors of 52
- √52 = 7.2111
- Possible Divisor Factors of 52: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 52 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 52 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7
- Divide 52 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 52: 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52
- Factor Pairs of 52: (1*52) (2*26) (4*13)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
