Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 57:
- If a whole number divides 57 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 57 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 57 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 57
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 57 (√57 ) are possible divisor factors of 57
- √57 = 7.5498
- Possible Divisor Factors of 57: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 57 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 57 (filtered): 1, 3, 7
- Divide 57 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 57: 1, 3, 19, 57
- Factor Pairs of 57: (1*57) (3*19)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
