Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 47:
- If a whole number divides 47 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 47 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 47 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 47
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 47 (√47 ) are possible divisor factors of 47
- √47 = 6.8557
- Possible Divisor Factors of 47: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 47 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 47 (filtered): 1
- Divide 47 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 47: 1, 47
- Factor Pairs of 47: (1*47)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
