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