∙ 6y agoFactors come in pairs. If you know one factor, divide it into the number. The answer will be another factor.

This would be called a "factor". A number may be made by multiplying two or more other numbers together. The numbers that are multiplied together are called factors of the final number.
Start looking for factors; you already know that 1 is a factor, and that the number itself is a second factor (unless the number is 1). As soon as you find a factor that is neither 1 nor the number itself, the number is composite. If you find exactly two factors, the number is prime. If the number has only one factor, the number is 1, which is neither prime nor composite.

Yes. An even number will always have as it's factors, itself, 1, 2 and another number. So the minimum number of factors for an even number other than 2 is four.
When the first number can divide the second without remainder. The formal definition would be as follows: For integers x and y, x is a factor of y if there exists an integer n such that y = n*x
That presumes that you already have one. Take the one you have and divide it into the number. Voila! Another factor.
It means that you find out the size of part of the number but not all of it.
84 factor is

At least another number is needed to find their GCF
A whole number, f, is a factor of another whole number, n, if f goes into n some exact number of times - that is, it leaves no remainder. Another way of putting it is: if you have a number n, then f is a factor of n if you can find a number, g (not necessarily different), such that f*g = n
Divide the number by one of the known factors. Then divide the quotient by another factor. Continue with all the known factors. What you are left with at the end is the missing factor.
to find a factor of a number you have to 1. find the hcf (highest common factor) 2. find how many times the hcf goes into your number AND THAT IS YOUR ANSWER!
The factors of 84 are 1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42 and 84. To find a greatest common factor, you need to compare them to another number's factors.
This would be called a "factor". A number may be made by multiplying two or more other numbers together. The numbers that are multiplied together are called factors of the final number.
The greatest factor of any number is the number itself.
