Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8 Factors of 11: 1, 11 Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
The common factors of 8, 20, and 36 are: 1, 2, and 4
In that range, the number with the most factors is 48 (10) 36 has 9 and four others are tied with 8.
Factors of a number are smaller (and equal) numbers that divide into the original number to give a whole number as the answer. Eg - 12 is a factor of 36 because 36/12 = 3 (a whole number.) Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 Factors of 72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72 Factors of 96: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 96 So the common factors are the ones in each list: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
The factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4, 8 The factors of 36 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
