Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 38:
- If a whole number divides 38 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 38 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 38 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 38
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 38 (√38 ) are possible divisor factors of 38
- √38 = 6.1644
- Possible Divisor Factors of 38: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 38 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 38 (filtered): 1, 2
- Divide 38 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 38: 1, 2, 19, 38
- Factor Pairs of 38: (1*38) (2*19)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
