QuestionFind all factors of the whole number 16.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The number we are finding factors for is16. Factors of a number are whole numbers that can divide that number without leaving a remainder
STEP 2
We start by checking if1 is a factor, since1 is a factor of every number.
Since there is no remainder,1 is a factor of16.
STEP 3
Next, we check if2 is a factor.
Since there is no remainder,2 is a factor of16.
STEP 4
We continue this process with the next number,3.
The division leaves a remainder, so3 is not a factor of16.
STEP 5
We check if4 is a factor.
Since there is no remainder,4 is a factor of16.
STEP 6
Next, we check if5 is a factor.
The division leaves a remainder, so5 is not a factor of16.
STEP 7
We check if6 is a factor.
The division leaves a remainder, so6 is not a factor of16.
STEP 8
We check if7 is a factor.
The division leaves a remainder, so7 is not a factor of16.
STEP 9
We check if8 is a factor.
Since there is no remainder,8 is a factor of16.
STEP 10
We check if9 is a factor.
The division leaves a remainder, so9 is not a factor of16.
STEP 11
We continue this process until we reach the number itself. Since a number is always a factor of itself,16 is a factor of16.
So, the factors of16 are,,4,8, and16.
