Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 24:
- If a whole number divides 24 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 24 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 24 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 24
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 24 (√24 ) are possible divisor factors of 24
- √24 = 4.899
- Possible Divisor Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 24 by 2, 3, and 4
- Possible Divisor Factors of 24 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 4
- Divide 24 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
- Factor Pairs of 24: (1*24) (2*12) (3*8) (4*6)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
