The word factor means you take a number [in this case it is 2] and you multiply it by another number to reach your desired numbers [in this case your desired numbers are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16]
So ask yourself 2 times what numbers equals 1 or 2 or 4 or 8 or 16
2x 0.5 = 1
2x 1 = 2
2x 2 = 4
2x 4 = 8
2x 8 = 16
Because a number can be multiplied by 2 and get the numbers you said then this 2 can be called a factor of these numbers.
A factor is what a number is divisible by. 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
1,2,4,8 and 16 itself. ---------- A factor ( maths wise ), is what can be multiplied to make that number. 1 x 16 = 16 2 x 8 = 16 4 x 4 = 16 8 x 2 = 16 16 x 1 = 16
A factor = a number which can be divided into the given number with no remainder 15/2 = 7.5 so no, 2 is not a factor no. cause 2 x 8 is 16. that's as close u can get. No.
The factors of 32 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. The largest factor of 32 is 32.(However, sometimes the word "factor" refers to a proper divisor which excludes the number itself. In this sense, 16 is the largest factor.)
1, 2 and 4
Factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. The only prime factor is 2. Note that 1 is neither prime nor composite number.
16 does.
2
No. 1 is odd, and is a factor of every number.
1, 2 and 4
2
16 = 252 is the only prime factor of 16
Both 1 and 2 are factors of 16, but not multiples of 4.
The only prime factor of 16 is 2.
Small words make a difference. No prime number "has" a factor of 16. But 2 is the only prime number that "is" a factor of 16.
16 is an even, square, two-digit factor of 32.
The factors of 16 are 1,2,4,8 & 16. A prime number is only divisible by itself and 1. Therefore the only prime number is 2.
