Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 540:
- If a whole number divides 540 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 540 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 540 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 540
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 540 (√540 ) are possible divisor factors of 540
- √540 = 23.2379
- Possible Divisor Factors of 540: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 540 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10
- Possible Divisor Factors of 540 (filtered): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23
- Divide 540 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 540: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 27, 30, 36, 45, 54, 60, 90, 108, 135, 180, 270, 540
- Factor Pairs of 540: (1*540) (2*270) (3*180) (4*135) (5*108) (6*90) (9*60) (10*54) (12*45) (15*36) (18*30) (20*27)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
