Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 147:
- If a whole number divides 147 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 147 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 147 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 147
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 147 (√147 ) are possible divisor factors of 147
- √147 = 12.1244
- Possible Divisor Factors of 147: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 147 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 147 (filtered): 1, 3, 7, 11
- Divide 147 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 147: 1, 3, 7, 21, 49, 147
- Factor Pairs of 147: (1*147) (3*49) (7*21)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
