There's not a lot to explain. They're different words for the same thing. When you're multiplying, you call them factors. When you're dividing, you call them divisors.

Does any number that has 10 as a factor also have 5 as a factor explain?
Any number that has another number for a factor has that number's factors as factors as well. Since 5 is a factor of 10, all multiples of 10 have 5 as a factor.
What is the difference between factors of a number and factors of a prime number?
Well, the factors of a prime number is that they only have two factors.
What is 1764 divisible by?
1764 is divisible by 1 and 4. There are probably other divisors as well. 1764 = 2x2x3x3x7x7 so it is divisible by any product of these factors as well as 1. For example it is divisible by 2x2x3x7 to give 3x7 =21
What numbers have only one array?
1,7,11,Well, it depends on what you mean by 'the array of a number'. If it has something to do with the divisors, then it's the primes, or the powers of primes.
Which odd number has 12 factors?
Well,I know that 9999 is one number:)
Explain the factors affecting balance of payments?
You see, it will depend. On a great many other factors. You thought life was so easy? Well think again.
How do you know when you have found all the factors of a number?
Write the number in terms of its prime factors. So suppose is is:Z = ap*bq*cr ...where a, b, c are prime factors and p, q, r are indices.Then the total number of factors of Z is (p+1)*(q+1)*(r+1) ...If you have fewer, you have missed some out.Alternatively,Test Z for divisibility by each integer, from 1 upwards to sqrt(Z). At each stage, make a note of any factor found as well as the quotient when it divides Z.If you are thorough, you will find all the factors. This method may be simpler but relies absolutely on systematically going through many integers as potential divisors.
What number has exactly 24 factors?
Well, If we looked at this way: (224) = 16777216, so this number has exactly 24 factors. (324) = 282429536481, so this number has exactly 24 factors. (510)(210)(34) = 810000000000, so this number has exactly 24 factors.
How you get the prime factors of the number?
Well say the number was 10 you find the factors (1,2,5,10) then out of those numbers you pick the prime number/s 2 and 10. For 20 , the factors are 1,2,4,5,10 and 20 so the prime factors are 2, and 5 again
Explain how you can decide if finding common multiples and common factors is helpful in solving a problem?
well i need to know this Question
What number has 5 factors exactly between 10 and 30?
A number that has exactly an odd number of factors is a power of another number. A number between 10 and 30 that is a power is 16. It is 24 (as well as 42) and its factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
What is the prime number of 6?
well, the factors of 6 are: 3,2,1, and 6 and the prime factors are 3 and 2 and 6 is not a prime number, it is composite
