FINDING ALL FACTORS

Factors are numbers that divide evenly into another number. To find all factors of 12: try 1 (1×12✓), 2 (2×6✓), 3 (3×4✓), 4 (already found). Factors come in pairs! Once the pairs start repeating, you have found them all.

Find all factors of 12

11 × 12 = 12

22 × 6 = 12

33 × 4 = 12
