Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 124:
- If a whole number divides 124 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 124 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 124 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 124
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 124 (√124 ) are possible divisor factors of 124
- √124 = 11.1355
- Possible Divisor Factors of 124: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 124 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 124 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11
- Divide 124 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 124: 1, 2, 4, 31, 62, 124
- Factor Pairs of 124: (1*124) (2*62) (4*31)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
