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
To find the highest common factor (HCF) of 16 and 24, we first list the factors of each number. The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. The highest common factor is the largest number that both lists share, which is 8. Therefore, the HCF of 16 and 24 is 8.
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.)
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
1, 2 and 4
No. 1 is odd, and is a factor of every number.
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.
