Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 123:
- If a whole number divides 123 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 123 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 123 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 123
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 123 (√123 ) are possible divisor factors of 123
- √123 = 11.0905
- Possible Divisor Factors of 123: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 123 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 123 (filtered): 1, 3, 7, 11
- Divide 123 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 123: 1, 3, 41, 123
- Factor Pairs of 123: (1*123) (3*41)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
