Question

List all the factors of 27.

Answer 1

1, 3, 9, and 27

Explanation:

1. The factors of 27 are numbers which when multiplied by another equal 27.

For example, the factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4 because 1 x 4 = 4, and 2 x 2 = 4.

2. We know for sure that a number multiplied by one is still that number, so this means that two factors are 1 and 27.

3. Now, since 3 and 9 are the only remaining numbers that can multiply by each other to get 27 (after a series of trials), the factors are: 1, 3, 9, and 27.

Answer 2

1, 3, 9, and 27
