Question

Grade 7. i actually already learnt this but this whole quarantine thing made me forget lolz. what are factors?

Answer 1

Answer:

A factor is basically a number that derives from another without leaving a remainder. It sounds somewhat confusing when put into words but I'll give you some examples.

Step-by-step explanation:

in the problem you stated the answer would be yes. 3 is a factor of 372 because you can multiply 3 times another number (which in this case is 124) to get 372.

In addition, a number can have several factors. For example, these are all the factors for the number 10: 1, 2, 5, 10

notice how all these numbers multiplied by another of these same numbers on the list give you 10.

hope this helped :)

Answer 2

Answer:

A number in a multiplication equation that makes up the total. For example,

2 x 3= 6.

2 and 3 are the factors.
