Question

Consider the statements about factors of a number.

Statement I: $1$ is always a factor of a number.
Statement II: The number itself is also a factor of that number.

• A. Only Statement I is correct.
• B. Only Statement II is correct.
• C. Both the statements are correct.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct.

From the properties of factors, $1$ is always a factor of any number.
Also, the number itself is always a factor of the original number.

For any number, $x$ can be expressed as $x=1\times x$

$\therefore$ Both the statements are correct.
