Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 158:
- If a whole number divides 158 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 158 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 158 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 158
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 158 (√158 ) are possible divisor factors of 158
- √158 = 12.5698
- Possible Divisor Factors of 158: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 158 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 158 (filtered): 1, 2, 7, 11
- Divide 158 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 158: 1, 2, 79, 158
- Factor Pairs of 158: (1*158) (2*79)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
