The first step is to split the number down into its prime factors. This can be done by dividing it by any obvious divisors. 52 is even so can divide by 2, so do this and we get 26. That is also even so divide by 2 again and that gives 13. This is prime so we have finished the prime factorization. Thus the prime factors of 52 are 2, 2 and 13. In order to find the other factors, we just multiply combinations of these together. Thus the integer factors for 52 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 26 and 52.

1,2,4,13,26,52
All factors are whole numbers
Between 52 and 73 there are 53, 54, ..., 72 a total of 72 - 53 + 1 = 20 numbers. Including 52 and 73 there are 22 numbers.
52 is a composite number because it has factors in addition to (52 & 1). If a number has only the two factors (itself and 1) then it is prime. Every whole number greater than 1 will have at least those two factors. The number 1 has only one factor (1). Numbers that have more than two factors are called composite numbers.
The factors of the numbers 52 68 and 92 is 9. This is taught in math.
The prime factors of 52 are: 1 ,2, 13, & 52 1 x 52 & 2 x 13
Factors must be whole numbers, not decimals.
Because they are the only numbers that will divide into 52 evenly, with no remainder.
Factors are whole numbers that will divide into other whole numbers leaving no remainders
