Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 143:
- If a whole number divides 143 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 143 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 143 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 143
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 143 (√143 ) are possible divisor factors of 143
- √143 = 11.9583
- Possible Divisor Factors of 143: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 143 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 143 (filtered): 1, 7, 11
- Divide 143 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 143: 1, 11, 13, 143
- Factor Pairs of 143: (1*143) (11*13)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
