Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 280:
- If a whole number divides 280 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 280 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 280 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 280
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 280 (√280 ) are possible divisor factors of 280
- √280 = 16.7332
- Possible Divisor Factors of 280: 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 280 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 280 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16
- Divide 280 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 280: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280
- Factor Pairs of 280: (1*280) (2*140) (4*70) (5*56) (7*40) (8*35) (10*28) (14*20)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
