Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 324:
- If a whole number divides 324 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 324 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 324 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 324
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 324 (√324 ) are possible divisor factors of 324
- √324 = 18
- Possible Divisor Factors of 324: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 324 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 324 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18
- Divide 324 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 324: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 81, 108, 162, 324
- Factor Pairs of 324: (1*324) (2*162) (3*108) (4*81) (6*54) (9*36) (12*27) (18*18)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
