Which factors does differ ?

Questions:

What is a factor?

ANSWER:

As defined above, a factor is a number that divide a certain number to give out a whole number or integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

For EXAMPLE, 2 is a factor of 8 because it DIVIDES 8 WITHOUT LEAVING any remainder. 1 is the smallest factor of any number. The factors of 8 are therefore 1, 2, 4 and 8 itself.

When listing factors of a given number, the first step is to identify all numbers that divide this particular number without a remainder. And to do so, 1 is listed as the first minimum factor. For example, the factors of a number are integers which divide that particular number without a remainder. The number 16 has five factors: 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. If number 16 is divided by any of the five numbers, then the resultant is a whole number
