All whole numbers are factors of themselves since
a factor is any integer times another integer that equals the number.
So, 12 can be factored to 2x6 = 12, 3x4 = 12, and 1x12 = 12. Since
1x12 = 12, 12 and 1 are factors of 12, so 12 is a factor of 12. Since
all whole numbers (n) can be written as n*1 = n, all whole numbers
are factors of themselves.
