Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 23:
- If a whole number divides 23 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 23 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 23 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 23
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 23 (√23 ) are possible divisor factors of 23
- √23 = 4.7958
- Possible Divisor Factors of 23: 1, 2, 3, 4
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 23 by 2, 3, and 4
- Possible Divisor Factors of 23 (filtered): 1
- Divide 23 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 23: 1, 23
- Factor Pairs of 23: (1*23)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
