Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 246:
- If a whole number divides 246 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 246 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 246 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 246
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 246 (√246 ) are possible divisor factors of 246
- √246 = 15.6844
- Possible Divisor Factors of 246: 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 246 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 246 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14
- Divide 246 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 246: 1, 2, 3, 6, 41, 82, 123, 246
- Factor Pairs of 246: (1*246) (2*123) (3*82) (6*41)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
