They aren't. Different words for the same thing.
Because 'divisors' and 'factors' are different names for the same thing.
They are different terms for the same thing. Call them factors when you're multiplying and divisors when you're dividing. So it is just like dividing
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.
They are two different words for the same thing.
