Divide by 2
It means reduce 1 to 1/2, reduce 4 to 2. Half it.
times by two
A factor is numbers that you multiply. For example, 2*2 = 4. The factors are 2,2,4.
I usually start from the bottom - is 2 a factor, yes indeed. Then start over. Is 2 a factor, yes. Start over. Is 2 a factor, yes. Is 2 a factor, no. Is 3 a factor, no. is 4 a factor, no. Done.2, 2, 2, 5
If by "what" and "something" you mean "x" and all of those blanks are the same variable, then you can write that word problem as 3x = 2. Divide both sides by 3 to get x = 2/3.
The factors of 2 are 1 and 2. If you increase something by a factor of 2, you double it. If you decrease something by a factor of 2, you halve it.
To reduce is to make it littler. Ex. 2/4 = 1/2 divided by 2.
It means reduce 1 to 1/2, reduce 4 to 2. Half it.
"by a factor of " is used commonly to mean the same as "multiplied by" or "divided by." If x is INCREASED by a factor of 4, it becomes 4x. If x is DECREASED by a factor of 4, it becomes x/4.
If you say that something is "increased by a factor of 8," it just means it was multiplied by 8.
It means that you increase something's height by x2 and its width by x2 (and depth by x2 when you have a 3D object)

The time required for a radioactive mass to reduce by a factor of 2 is called the half-life. It is the time it takes for half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay.
it is the rate at which something grows ie: 2 4 8 16 32 factor of 2 rate is times 2
It can be both. 4 is a multiple of 2, meaning 2 times something equals 4. 4 is a factor of 16. Meaning 16 divided by something is 4. Make sense?

2m^2 - 8 -First you should factor out a two. --> 2(m^2-4) -You now have something squared minus something else squared; You have m squared minus 2 squared. Whenever you have something squared minus something squared as you do in this case, there is a simple rule to remember: You can reduce that expression into the quantity of the square root of the first number or variable plus the square root of the second number or variable Times the quantity of the square root of the first number or variable minus the second number or variable squared. --> In the case of your expression: ----> 2(m+2)(m-2)<-----
