In a maths sense, a factor usually means "a number that divides evenly into another number, resulting in an integer". I.e when a number is divided by a factor of itself, there are no "remainders" or any decimal places that are non-zero.
For example, 2 is a factor of 12, since 12 can be divided by 2, 6 times. (Other factors include 3, 4, and 6)
And 5 is a factor of 45, since 45 can be divided by 5, 9 times.
But 2 is not a factor of 45, since dividing 45 by two would result in a "remainder" of 1 or a decimal place of .5.
