It means that number can divide into the other number evenly, with no remainder.
Factors come in pairs. If you know one factor, divide it into the number. The answer will be another factor.
That presumes that you already have one. Take the one you have and divide it into the number. Voila! Another factor.
If one number is a factor of another number, the greatest common factor will be the lesser number. Example: 3 and 9 3 is a factor of 9 3 is a factor of 3 There can be no higher factor of a number than the number itself. Therefore, the GCF of 3 and 9 is 3.
They have a converse relationship. A factor is a number that divides into another, with no remainders. A multiple is something that can be multiplied by another number, to reach the original number that you had. Thus: Original number / a factor = a multiple Multiple * (the correct factor) = original number. "the correct factor", because most number have more than one factor. But only one factor * multiple will give the original number.
When you divide one number by another which is not a factor.
A factor is a number or algebraic expression by which another is exactly divisible. A positive factor is a factor that is a positive number as opposed to a negative one.
The first one is a "factor" of the second one.
Divide the factor into the number. If the answer is a whole number, the factor is a factor.
The GCF of the numbers is the greatest common factor no matter what their relationship is. When one number is a multiple of another number, the GCF is the smaller number.
No, that's just a factor. A common factor is when that factor is also a factor of another number.
If a number can be evenly divided by another number, the smaller number is a factor of the larger number.
A factor is a number that can be multiplied with another factor to create a product. 4 x 5 = 20 Four and five are factors of 20. Since 2 x 2 = 4, 2 is a factor of 4 and also a factor of a factor.
