6 is not a prime number but it is a factor of 72
Because 6 times 12 is 72. A number, when multiplied by another number, is a factor of the new number.
Yes, just as 1 is considered a factor of everything, a number is considered a factor of itself.
When it is a factor of that particular number.
The number ends in zero.
The only composite number which is a factor of 6 is 6 itself.
No, 6 is not a factor of 3. A factor of a number is a whole number that can be multiplied to give the original number. In this case, 6 cannot be multiplied by any whole number to give 3, so 6 is not a factor of 3.
Yes, 6 is a factor of 492. If you divide 492 by 6 you get 82 with no remainder. The fact that there was no remainder means that the first number is a factor of the second number. Taking this to the obvious conclusion; the prime factors of 492 are 2, 2, 3, and 41. 6 is 2 times 3, so it is a non prime factor, but it is a factor nontheless.
Any multiple of 6 has 6 as a factor.
The highest common factor of two numbers is always equal to the smallest number if that number is a factor of the larger number. This is the case here. Since 6 is a factor of 36, 6 is the highest common factor of 6 and 36.
6 is both a factor and a multiple of 6.
Factors come in pairs. If you know one factor, divide it into the number. The answer will be another factor.

Multiples of 6
Because 6 times 12 is 72. A number, when multiplied by another number, is a factor of the new number.
Factors divide into a number. A number divides into multiples. 3 is a factor of 6. 12 is a multiple of 6. 6 is both a factor and a multiple of 6.
For a number to be divisible by 6, it has to be divisible by 2 and 3, because 2*3=6.In other words, we could divide the number we're factorising (78) by the prime factors of the number we're testing (6, which is 2*3). We start by dividing by 2, because we know 78 is even: 78/2=39. Then, we divide the new number by the other prime factor - 3. 39/3=13 13 is a whole number with no remainders, therefore we can say that 78 is divisible by 6, and therefore 6 is a factor of 78. (6*13=78)
