Which of the following is the best definition of a factor?
  • Step 1: Understand what a factor is. A factor is a number that can be multiplied by another number to get a product.
  • Step 2: Learn that a factor divides another number evenly. This means when you divide the larger number by the factor, there is no remainder.
  • Step 3: For example, if you take the number 10, its factors are 1, 2, 5, and 10 because each of these numbers can divide 10 without leaving a remainder.
  • Step 4: Remember that if a number is a factor of another number, it means you can multiply it by some whole number to get that other number.
