Numbers that can be multiplied together to get another number are its factors.

A factor is a number that goes evenly into the number you're factoring.

When you factor a number, say 12, you break it into its smallest parts. You could start with 6 x 2 and then 6 can be factored into 2 x 3, so the factors of 12 could be 2 x 2 x 3. To factor x^2 + 5x + 4 is to break it down into simpler parts.

Which statements about the factors of the terms in the expression20a plus 15ab plus 24b are true Check all that apply.?

To determine the factors of the terms in the expression (20a + 15ab + 24b), we can factor each term. The factors of (20a) are (4 \times 5 \times a), the factors of (15ab) are (3 \times 5 \times a \times b), and the factors of (24b) are (3 \times 8 \times b). Common factors among the terms include (3) and (b). Thus, any statements indicating these common factors or the individual factors of each term would be true.
