Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 58:
- If a whole number divides 58 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 58 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 58 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 58
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 58 (√58 ) are possible divisor factors of 58
- √58 = 7.6158
- Possible Divisor Factors of 58: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 58 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 58 (filtered): 1, 2, 7
- Divide 58 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 58: 1, 2, 29, 58
- Factor Pairs of 58: (1*58) (2*29)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
