Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 229:
- If a whole number divides 229 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 229 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 229 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 229
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 229 (√229 ) are possible divisor factors of 229
- √229 = 15.1327
- Possible Divisor Factors of 229: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 229 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 229 (filtered): 1, 7, 11, 13
- Divide 229 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 229: 1, 229
- Factor Pairs of 229: (1*229)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
