Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 7:
- If a whole number divides 7 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 7 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 7 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 7
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 7 (√7 ) are possible divisor factors of 7
- √7 = 2.6458
- Possible Divisor Factors of 7: 1, 2
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 7 by 2
- Possible Divisor Factors of 7 (filtered): 1
- Divide 7 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 7: 1, 7
- Factor Pairs of 7: (1*7)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
