Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 248:
- If a whole number divides 248 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 248 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 248 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 248
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 248 (√248 ) are possible divisor factors of 248
- √248 = 15.748
- Possible Divisor Factors of 248: 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 248 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 248 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14
- Divide 248 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 248: 1, 2, 4, 8, 31, 62, 124, 248
- Factor Pairs of 248: (1*248) (2*124) (4*62) (8*31)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
