What will be Samaira's answer?

• B. Factoris the result of multiplying a number by an integer
• C. Factors are infinite
• D. Factors are prime numbers

Answer 1

The correct option is A Factors are numbers that we can multiply to obtain another number

Factors are numbers obtained by multiplying two smaller numbers. A factor is always finite and is also obtained by evenly dividing a number. A factor of a number is always less than or equal to the number. For example: 25
The factors of 25 =1, 5, 25

The lowest factor is 1 and the highest factor is the number itself, 25
