I've always thought about it as part of the process they're fulfilling.
12 divided by 4 = 3 (Four and three are divisors of 12)
4 x 3 = 12 (Four and three are factors of 12)

If an integer, X, is a factor of an integer Y, then X goes into Y evenly and therefore X divides Y - ie X is a divisor.
No they do not, take a big prime number and compare it to a smaller composite number. The number 6833 as only two factors (divisors), namely 1 and itself. But the number 68 which is much smaller has more factors or divisors. 68 has 2 and 4 and 17 and 1 and itself which is already more divisors than 6833.
The divisors of 469 are its factors. The factors of 469 are 7 and 67 (together with 469 and 1).
same question i am asking i hope some one will see this question and improve this answer by putting in the divisors of that number
16 has the divisors 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
Divisors of 99 are: 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, 99 Prime factors of 99 are: 32 X 11
