Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 131:
- If a whole number divides 131 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 131 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 131 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 131
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 131 (√131 ) are possible divisor factors of 131
- √131 = 11.4455
- Possible Divisor Factors of 131: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 131 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 131 (filtered): 1, 7, 11
- Divide 131 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 131: 1, 131
- Factor Pairs of 131: (1*131)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
