Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 153:
- If a whole number divides 153 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 153 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 153 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 153
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 153 (√153 ) are possible divisor factors of 153
- √153 = 12.3693
- Possible Divisor Factors of 153: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 153 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 153 (filtered): 1, 3, 7, 9, 11
- Divide 153 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 153: 1, 3, 9, 17, 51, 153
- Factor Pairs of 153: (1*153) (3*51) (9*17)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
