Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 268:
- If a whole number divides 268 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 268 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 268 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 268
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 268 (√268 ) are possible divisor factors of 268
- √268 = 16.3707
- Possible Divisor Factors of 268: 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 268 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 268 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14, 16
- Divide 268 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 268: 1, 2, 4, 67, 134, 268
- Factor Pairs of 268: (1*268) (2*134) (4*67)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
