The number factor is calculated as the quantity that is the accurate divisor of that number.

Example:

Annie's uncle gave her

$24$ cupcakes to distribute among her

$6$ friends.

We have to equally distribute it among

$6$ children. How will she do that?

$24$ cupcakes

$÷$

$6$ children

$=$

$4$ cupcakes for each child. That is

$24=6×4$ .

Annie can distribute

$4$ cupcakes to each of her friends.

Now, what if

$2$ more children come to her place.

How will she distribute the same amount of cupcakes among

$8$ children?

$24$ cupcakes

$÷$

$8$ children

$=$

$3$ cup cakes for each child. That is

$24=8×3$ .

Annie can distribute the

$3$ cupcakes to her friends.

Suppose

$4$ more children visit her place at the same time. Can she distribute

$24$ cupcakes equally among all children?

Yes, she can!!!

$24$ cupcakes

$÷$

$12$ children

$=$

$2$ cupcakes for each child. That is

$24=12×2$ .

Annie can distribute

$2$ cupcakes to each of her friends.

From the above example, we can see that

$24$ is written as a product of two numbers in different ways as

$24 = 6 \times 4; 24 = 8 \times 3; 24 = 12 \times 2.$

This means

$2$ ,

$3$ ,

$6$ ,

$8$ , and

$12$ are the exact divisor of

$24$ . These are known as factors of

$24$ .
