Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 142:
- If a whole number divides 142 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 142 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 142 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 142
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 142 (√142 ) are possible divisor factors of 142
- √142 = 11.9164
- Possible Divisor Factors of 142: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 142 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 142 (filtered): 1, 2, 7, 11
- Divide 142 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 142: 1, 2, 71, 142
- Factor Pairs of 142: (1*142) (2*71)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
