Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 162:
- If a whole number divides 162 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 162 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 162 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 162
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 162 (√162 ) are possible divisor factors of 162
- √162 = 12.7279
- Possible Divisor Factors of 162: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 162 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 162 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11
- Divide 162 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 162: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54, 81, 162
- Factor Pairs of 162: (1*162) (2*81) (3*54) (6*27) (9*18)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
