Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 146:
- If a whole number divides 146 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 146 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 146 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 146
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 146 (√146 ) are possible divisor factors of 146
- √146 = 12.083
- Possible Divisor Factors of 146: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 146 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 146 (filtered): 1, 2, 7, 11
- Divide 146 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 146: 1, 2, 73, 146
- Factor Pairs of 146: (1*146) (2*73)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
