Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 73:
- If a whole number divides 73 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 73 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 73 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 73
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 73 (√73 ) are possible divisor factors of 73
- √73 = 8.544
- Possible Divisor Factors of 73: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 73 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 73 (filtered): 1, 7
- Divide 73 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 73: 1, 73
- Factor Pairs of 73: (1*73)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
