Step-by-step solution to find the factors and factor pairs of 88:
- If a whole number divides 88 evenly (remainder = 0), then it is a factor of 88 (divisor factor), and the corresponding quotient is also a factor of 88 (quotient factor)
- Divisor factors and quotient factors form a complete list of the factors and factor pairs of 88
- With the exception of 0, all whole numbers less than or equal to the square root of 88 (√88 ) are possible divisor factors of 88
- √88 = 9.3808
- Possible Divisor Factors of 88: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- Filter list of possible divisor factors by testing divisibility of 88 by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9
- Possible Divisor Factors of 88 (filtered): 1, 2, 4, 7, 8
- Divide 88 by the possible divisor factors in the filtered list
- Factors of 88: 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88
- Factor Pairs of 88: (1*88) (2*44) (4*22) (8*11)
- Note: the first number in each factor pair is a divisor factor and the second number is a corresponding quotient factor
