Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 188:
- If a whole number divides 188 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 188 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 188 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 188
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 188 (√188 ) are possible divisor factors of 188
- √188 = 13.7113
- Possible Divisor Factors of 188: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 188 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 188 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13
- Divide 188 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 188: 1, 2, 4, 47, 94, 188
- Factor Pairs of 188: (1*188) (2*94) (4*47)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
