Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 218:
- If a whole number divides 218 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 218 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 218 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 218
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 218 (√218 ) are possible divisor factors of 218
- √218 = 14.7648
- Possible Divisor Factors of 218: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 218 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 218 (filtered): 1, 2, 7, 11, 13, 14
- Divide 218 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 218: 1, 2, 109, 218
- Factor Pairs of 218: (1*218) (2*109)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
