Question

82) Find the fators of
a) 48​

Answer 1

Try 1. 1 x 48 = 48, so put these into our factor list.

1 ... 48

Take 2. 2 x 24 = 48, which means we add these to our factor list.

1 2 ... 24 48

Now take 3. 3 x 16 = 48, so now we put these in our list of factors.

1 2 3 ... 16 24 48

Next try 4. 4 x 12 = 48, so we add these to our list of factors.

1 2 3 4 ... 12 16 24 48

Now try 5... nope! 48/5 isn't a whole number. So we skip 5.

Try 6. 6 x 8 = 48, which means we add these to our factor list.

1 2 3 4 6 ... 8 12 16 24 48

Take 7... no. 48/7 isn't a whole number. So we skip 7.

Now, since we don't have any more numbers to try, we're done!

1 2 3 4 6 8 12 16 24 48
