Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 173:
- If a whole number divides 173 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 173 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 173 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 173
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 173 (√173 ) are possible divisor factors of 173
- √173 = 13.1529
- Possible Divisor Factors of 173: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 173 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 173 (filtered): 1, 7, 11, 13
- Divide 173 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 173: 1, 173
- Factor Pairs of 173: (1*173)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
