    • Factors

      Factor is the number that can divide the given number completely without leaving any remainder.

      Example: 21 is exactly divisible by 1, 3, 7 and 21 and there is no remainder. Thus we can say that 1, 3, 7, and 21 are the factors of 21

      OR

      We can say factors are the numbers multiplied to get the other number.

      Example:

      2 x 6 = 12

      2 and 6 are the factors of 12

       

      Step To Find Out Factors Of Given Number

      Find out all the number with which the given number is exactly divisible.

      Example: 44 is exactly divisible by 1, 4, 11, 22 and 44. So, 1, 4, 11, 22 and 44 are factor of 44.



      Points To Be Remembered

            1.   1 is factor of itself as well as of all numbers.

            2.   Greatest factor of a number is the number itself.

            3.   Every factor of given number is less than or equal to the given number.
