Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 8:
- If a whole number divides 8 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 8 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 8 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 8
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 8 (√8 ) are possible divisor factors of 8
- √8 = 2.8284
- Possible Divisor Factors of 8: 1, 2
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 8 by 2
- Possible Divisor Factors of 8 (filtered): 1, 2
- Divide 8 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
- Factor Pairs of 8: (1*8) (2*4)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
