Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 259:
- If a whole number divides 259 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 259 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 259 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 259
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 259 (√259 ) are possible divisor factors of 259
- √259 = 16.0935
- Possible Divisor Factors of 259: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 259 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 259 (filtered): 1, 7, 11, 13
- Divide 259 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 259: 1, 7, 37, 259
- Factor Pairs of 259: (1*259) (7*37)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
