Fact - 1 (Factors)

Fact 1 = Every number is a factor of itself

Following examples further explain Fact 1 of Factors

Example 1 = Discuss the Fact "every number is a factor of itself" with help of given number 12.
Answer = Find factors of given number 12.
Factors are = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.
Now, see the factors carefully and you will notice that factor includes a number 12 also.
Hence, it is clear that every number is a factor of itself.

Example 2 = Discuss the Fact "every number is a factor of itself" with help of given number 27.
Answer = Find factors of given number 27.
Factors are = 1, 3, 9, 27.
Now, on watching the factors did you notice anything special ?
One of the factor is equal to the given number i.e. 27.
Hence, it is clear that every number is a factor of itself.

Example 3 = Discuss the Fact "every number is a factor of itself" with help of given number 10.
Answer = Find factors of given number 10.
Factors are = 1, 2, 5, 10.
In the above factors, one of the factor is equal to the given number i.e. 10.
Hence, it is clear that every number is a factor of itself.
