Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 39:
- If a whole number divides 39 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 39 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 39 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 39
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 39 (√39 ) are possible divisor factors of 39
- √39 = 6.245
- Possible Divisor Factors of 39: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 39 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 39 (filtered): 1, 3
- Divide 39 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 39: 1, 3, 13, 39
- Factor Pairs of 39: (1*39) (3*13)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
