Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 238:
- If a whole number divides 238 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 238 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 238 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 238
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 238 (√238 ) are possible divisor factors of 238
- √238 = 15.4272
- Possible Divisor Factors of 238: 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 238 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 238 (filtered): 1, 2, 7, 11, 13, 14
- Divide 238 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 238: 1, 2, 7, 14, 17, 34, 119, 238
- Factor Pairs of 238: (1*238) (2*119) (7*34) (14*17)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
