Question

Check whether the first number is the factor of the second number, or not.

$8,72$

Answer 1

We know that, a factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number

When we divide the second number by the first number, if we get the remainder $0$ we say that the first number is the factor of the second number.

Now on dividing $72$ by $8$,

$72÷8=9$

wW get remainder $0$.

Hence, the first number is the factor of the second number
