Question

What are the factors of 10

Answer 1

1, 2, 5, 10

Explanation:

A factor is something that can be multiplied by another number to get your number, in this case, 10. 1x 10 = 10, 2 x 5 = 10, 5 x 2 = 10, 10 x 1 = 10

Answer 2

To find the factors of 10, begin by dividing 10 by 1, which gives us 10.

This tells us that 1 and 10 are factors of 10.

Next, divide 10 by 2, which gives us 5.

This tells us that 2 and 5 are also factors of 10.

Next, divide 10 by 3.

Notice that 10 doesn't divide

evenly by 3, so 3 is not a factor of 10.

Next, divide 10 by 4.

Since 10 doesn't divide evenly by 4,

then 4 is not a factor of 10.

Next, divide 10 by 5, which gives us 2.

This tells us that 5 and 2 are factors of 10.

However, notice that we already know 5 and 2 are factors of 10.

These are called repeat factors and once we hit repeat factors,

all other factors that we find will be repeat factors as well.

So the factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, 10.
