Answers
Answer:
Finding the factors of a natural number means that you find all the possible numbers that will divide into the given number without a remainder. There are many rules of divisibility to help you to find factors more quickly. A prime number is a number that has exactly two factors.
The difference between the divisor and factor is,
A divisor is a number and it divides another number with a remainder but a factor is a number that divides another number without leaving a remainder.
A number of all factors are the divisors but not all divisors are the factors.
For example, 2 is the factor of 16 because it divides the number 16 and without leaving the remainder.
The factors of 16 : 1,2,4,8,16
Therefore, a number that can divide by the given number without leaving a remainder is called Factor.
