    Math Definitions -> F -> Factor

 Factor


Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number:

Example: 3 and 4 are factors of 12, because 3x4=12.

Also 2x6=12 so 2 and 6 are also factors of 12, and 1x12=12 so 1 and 12 are factors of 12 as well.

So ALL the possible factors of 12 are 1,2,3,4,6 and 12.
