Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 240:
- If a whole number divides 240 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 240 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 240 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 240
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 240 (√240 ) are possible divisor factors of 240
- √240 = 15.4919
- Possible Divisor Factors of 240: 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 240 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 240 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
- Divide 240 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 240: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240
- Factor Pairs of 240: (1*240) (2*120) (3*80) (4*60) (5*48) (6*40) (8*30) (10*24) (12*20) (15*16)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
