Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 117:
- If a whole number divides 117 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 117 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 117 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 117
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 117 (√117 ) are possible divisor factors of 117
- √117 = 10.8167
- Possible Divisor Factors of 117: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 117 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 117 (filtered): 1, 3, 7, 9
- Divide 117 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 117: 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, 117
- Factor Pairs of 117: (1*117) (3*39) (9*13)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
