QuestionCircle the factors of 420 from this list: 2, 3, 6, 5, 9, 10.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The number we are finding factors for is420. The potential factors we are checking are,3,6,5,9, and10
STEP 2
A number is a factor of420 if it divides420 evenly, which means there is no remainder. We can check this using the modulus operation, which gives the remainder of a division. If the modulus is0, then the number is a factor.
STEP 3
First, we check if2 is a factor of420.
STEP 4
Since the modulus is0,2 is a factor of420.
STEP 5
Next, we check if3 is a factor of420.
STEP 6
Since the modulus is0,3 is a factor of420.
STEP 7
Next, we check if6 is a factor of420.
STEP 8
Since the modulus is0,6 is a factor of420.
STEP 9
Next, we check if5 is a factor of420.
STEP 10
Since the modulus is0,5 is a factor of420.
STEP 11
Next, we check if9 is a factor of420.
STEP 12
Since the modulus is not0,9 is not a factor of420.
STEP 13
Finally, we check if10 is a factor of420.
STEP 14
Since the modulus is0,10 is a factor of420.
So, the factors of420 from the given list are2,3,,6, and10.
