Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 76:
- If a whole number divides 76 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 76 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 76 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 76
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 76 (√76 ) are possible divisor factors of 76
- √76 = 8.7178
- Possible Divisor Factors of 76: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 76 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 76 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7, 8
- Divide 76 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
- Factor Pairs of 76: (1*76) (2*38) (4*19)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
