Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 156:
- If a whole number divides 156 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 156 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 156 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 156
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 156 (√156 ) are possible divisor factors of 156
- √156 = 12.49
- Possible Divisor Factors of 156: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 156 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 156 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12
- Divide 156 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 156: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, 26, 39, 52, 78, 156
- Factor Pairs of 156: (1*156) (2*78) (3*52) (4*39) (6*26) (12*13)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
