Given Whole Number: 120:
- If a whole number divides 120 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 120 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 120 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 120
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 120 (√120 ) are possible divisor factors of 120
- √120 = 10.9545
- Possible Divisor Factors of 120: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 120 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 120 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
- Divide 120 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 120: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
- Factor Pairs of 120: (1*120) (2*60) (3*40) (4*30) (5*24) (6*20) (8*15) (10*12)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
