Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 10:
- If a whole number divides 10 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 10 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 10 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 10
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 10 (√10 ) are possible divisor factors of 10
- √10 = 3.1623
- Possible Divisor Factors of 10: 1, 2, 3
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 10 by 2 and 3
- Possible Divisor Factors of 10 (filtered): 1, 2
- Divide 10 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10
- Factor Pairs of 10: (1*10) (2*5)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
