Given Whole Number: 56
- If a whole number divides 56 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 56 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 56 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 56
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 56 (√56 ) are possible divisor factors of 56
- √56 = 7.4833
- Possible Divisor Factors of 56: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 56 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 56 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7
- Divide 56 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 56: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56
- Factor Pairs of 56: (1*56) (2*28) (4*14) (7*8)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
