Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 59:
- If a whole number divides 59 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 59 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 59 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 59
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 59 (√59 ) are possible divisor factors of 59
- √59 = 7.6811
- Possible Divisor Factors of 59: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 59 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 59 (filtered): 1, 7
- Divide 59 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 59: 1, 59
- Factor Pairs of 59: (1*59)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
