Factor, in maths terms means "a number that divides into a given number with no remainders". You may be asked to find the "highest common factor" that two number share - this is the "biggest number that divides into both the given numbers, with no remainders".
The derivation of "factor" is from Latin, through French and Middle English.
A factor is a number that divides evenly into another number with no remainder. 3 is a factor of 9. 4 is not a factor of 9.
Scale factor Significant figures
A factor is two multiples that make an even bigger number. Example factors of 12 are 1,2,3,4,6,12
