FACTOR

A factor of a given number is every number that divides exactly into that number.

Example

Write down all factors of 10.

10 = 2 x 5, so numbers 2 and 5 are factors of 10.
Also 10 = 10 x 1, so 10 and 1 are factors of 10.

The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, 10.

NOTE: Number 1 and the number itself are always factors of any number.
