Answer:
i'm truly sorry for answering very late. here's your answer-
a factor is a number that can be divided into another number evenly. for example, the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6.. it means that a number outside the parentheses of an addition problem can be multiplied by each number inside the parentheses. hope this helps<3
i wish you the best of luck :)
