Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 17:
- If a whole number divides 17 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 17 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 17 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 17
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 17 (√17 ) are possible divisor factors of 17
- √17 = 4.1231
- Possible Divisor Factors of 17: 1, 2, 3, 4
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 17 by 2, 3, and 4
- Possible Divisor Factors of 17 (filtered): 1
- Divide 17 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 17: 1, 17
- Factor Pairs of 17: (1*17)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
