Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 77:
- If a whole number divides 77 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 77 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 77 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 77
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 77 (√77 ) are possible divisor factors of 77
- √77 = 8.775
- Possible Divisor Factors of 77: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 77 by 2, 3, 4, and 5
- Possible Divisor Factors of 77 (filtered): 1, 7
- Divide 77 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 77: 1, 7, 11, 77
- Factor Pairs of 77: (1*77) (7*11)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
