Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 232:
- If a whole number divides 232 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 232 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 232 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 232
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 232 (√232 ) are possible divisor factors of 232
- √232 = 15.2315
- Possible Divisor Factors of 232: 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 232 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 232 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14
- Divide 232 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 232: 1, 2, 4, 8, 29, 58, 116, 232
- Factor Pairs of 232: (1*232) (2*116) (4*58) (8*29)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
