A factor of a number is any number that can divide it evenly (without any remainder).
For example, factors of 20 are the numbers that divide 20 completely without any remainder.
To find the factors of 20, we check which numbers can divide 20 evenly:
- 1 × 20 = 20
- 2 × 10 = 20
- 4 × 5 = 20
So, the factors of 20 are:
1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20
These are the only numbers that can divide 20 without leaving a remainder.
