Adam says that the number 4 has four factors. The above statement is incorrect as 4 only three factors 1,2, and 4.
What are the factors?
A factor is a number that completely divides another number. To put it another way, if adding two whole numbers results in a product, then the numbers we are adding are factors of the product because the product is divisible by them.
Factors can be found using either division or multiplication. Rules of divisibility can also be applied. There are a finite number of factors for all integers.
The factor of a number is never more than the number; it is always less than or equal to the number.
Every integer, excluding 0 and 1, has a minimum of two factors: 1 and the actual number.
Multiplication and division are used to find factors.
