Open in App

Solution

Check whether $12$ is a factor of $288$ :
A number is said to be a factor of a given number if it divides the given number exactly i.e. leaves $0$ (zero) as remainder.
Thus to check whether $12$ is a factor of $288$ we will divide $288$ by $12$ . If remainder is $0$ then $12$ is a factor of $288$ , otherwise not.
$1224 28824 - - - 4848 - - - 0$
Since, remainder obtained is $0$ .
Therefore, $12$ is a factor of $288$ .
