Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 260:
- If a whole number divides 260 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 260 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 260 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 260
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 260 (√260 ) are possible divisor factors of 260
- √260 = 16.1245
- Possible Divisor Factors of 260: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 260 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 260 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16
- Divide 260 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 260: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260
- Factor Pairs of 260: (1*260) (2*130) (4*65) (5*52) (10*26) (13*20)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
