Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 64:
- If a whole number divides 64 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 64 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 64 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 64
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 64 (√64 ) are possible divisor factors of 64
- √64 = 8
- Possible Divisor Factors of 64: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 64 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 64 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7, 8
- Divide 64 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 64: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64
- Factor Pairs of 64: (1*64) (2*32) (4*16) (8*8)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
