Question

if a number is a factor of another number then there what is the smaller number itself

Answer 1

♧♧HERE IS YOUR ANSWER♧♧

What is a factor?

=> A number which divides another number, leaving no remainder as fraction, called a factor.

So, we always know that a divisor is smaller than the dividend.

Let me give you a few examples.

70 = 35 × 2, 2 is a factor of 70 and it is smaller than 70.

33 = 3 × 11, 3 is a factor of 33 and it is smaller than 70.

*35 and 11 are also factors to their respective numbers.

Another thing... remember that a number is its own factor. So in that case the factor and the number are equal.
