Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 242:
- If a whole number divides 242 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 242 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 242 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 242
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 242 (√242 ) are possible divisor factors of 242
- √242 = 15.5563
- Possible Divisor Factors of 242: 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 242 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 242 (filtered): 1, 2, 7, 11, 13, 14
- Divide 242 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 242: 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
- Factor Pairs of 242: (1*242) (2*121) (11*22)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
