The factors of 12 are the numbers that can be multiplied together to give the product of 12. The given list contains a mistake, which is the number 512. We need to cross it out and replace it with the correct number.
1. To find the factors of 12, we can start by listing the numbers that divide 12 evenly.
- 1 is a factor of 12 because 12 ÷ 1 = 12.
- 2 is a factor of 12 because 12 ÷ 2 = 6.
- 3 is a factor of 12 because 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
- 4 is a factor of 12 because 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
2. The number 512 is not a factor of 12. It seems to be a typographical error. We need to cross it out.
3. To replace the incorrect number, we need to find the missing factor of 12.
- We have already listed the factors 1, 2, 3, and 4.
- The missing factor is 6, which is obtained by dividing 12 by 2: 12 ÷ 2 = 6.
4. Therefore, we can replace the incorrect number 512 with the correct number 6.
The correct list of factors for 12 is 1, 2, 3, 4, 6.
