What is a factor of a whole number

2 Answers

2 votes

A factor of a number divides the number. For example, 2, 3, and 4 are all factors of 12. Similarly, we say that 12 is a multiple of 2, or a multiple of 3, because one can multiply 2 by a whole number to get 12. A number is a multiple of its factors.
