Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 118:
- If a whole number divides 118 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 118 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 118 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 118
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 118 (√118 ) are possible divisor factors of 118
- √118 = 10.8628
- Possible Divisor Factors of 118: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 118 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 118 (filtered): 1, 2, 7
- Divide 118 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 118: 1, 2, 59, 118
- Factor Pairs of 118: (1*118) (2*59)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
