\"numbersThe factors of a number are all the numbers which can divide that number without leaving a remainder.<\/p>\n

For example, the factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.<\/p>\n

To find the factors of a number, first:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. List the smallest factor, which is the number 1. The number one divides all whole numbers, therefore, the number 1 is a factor of every whole number.<\/li>\n
  2. List the highest factor, which is the number itself. For example, the highest factor of the number 12 is the number 12 itself.<\/li>\n
  3. Divide the number by two: 12 divided by 2 is 6. Six is therefore a factor of 12.<\/li>\n
  4. List all numbers between 1 and 6: 2,3,4,5<\/li>\n
  5. Try to determine which numbers between 1 and 6 can divide the number 12 without leaving a remainder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We can say with certainty then, that the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.<\/p>\n
