Hi Everyone. I needed some help with my homework and on the front of the Hoemwork Pack, it says ‘If you’re stuck, leave a message on the blog’. So what I wanted to know is what is a factor? On Task 5, it says to write all the factors of 12, 24, 36, 15 and 18. Hope somebody could get back to me and tell me what a factor is 🙂
Hi Serena!
Thanks for your question!
A factor is a number that you multiply to get to the product, ie the factors of 6 are
1 and 6
2 and 3,
So the factors of 12 are:
1 and 12
2 and 6
3 and 4.
Can you see the pattern?
Enjoy the rest of your holidays and don’t forget to help me on the 29th!
Mr M
