Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to know and write all the factors of any given number.
The factors of any given number refers to all the numbers that can divide that given number without a remainder.
The factors of a number are multiplied to make that particular number.
Notes:
Example1:
Find the factors of 8
1 x 8 = 8
2 x 4 = 8
Hence, the factors of 8 = {1, 2, 4, 8}
Example 2:
List the factors of 24
1 x 24 = 24
2 x 12 = 24
3 x 8 = 24
4 x 6 = 24
Factors of 24 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24}
Example 3:
Write down the factors of 17
1 x 17 = 17
Note that the factors of 17 are 1 and 17. This is because 17 is a prime number.
