Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 168:
- If a whole number divides 168 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 168 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 168 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 168
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 168 (√168 ) are possible divisor factors of 168
- √168 = 12.9615
- Possible Divisor Factors of 168: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 168 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 168 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12
- Divide 168 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 168: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168
- Factor Pairs of 168: (1*168) (2*84) (3*56) (4*42) (6*28) (7*24) (8*21) (12*14)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
