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.
