Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 27:
- If a whole number divides 27 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 27 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 27 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 27
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 27 (√27 ) are possible divisor factors of 27
- √27 = 5.1962
- Possible Divisor Factors of 27: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 27 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 27 (filtered): 1, 3
- Divide 27 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 27: 1, 3, 9, 27
- Factor Pairs of 27: (1*27) (3*9)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
