 Factors
• Factors are the numbers you multiply
together to get a product.
• For example, the product 24 has several
factors.
• 24 = 1 x 24
• 24 = 2 x 12
• 24 = 3 x 8
• 24 = 4 x 6
• SO, the factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
 Finding Factors

• Start with 1 x the number.

• Try 2, 3, 4, etc.
• When you repeat your factors, cross out
the repeat - you’re done at this point.
• If you get doubles (such as 4 x 4), then
you’re done. Repeats or doubles let
you know you’re done.
 What are the factors of 16?
1 x 16
2x8
3 x ?? 3 is not a factor, so cross it out

4x4 doubles = done

The factors of 16 are

1,2,4,8,16
What are the factors of 18?
1 x 18
2 x 9
3 x 6
4 x ??
5 x ??
6 x 3 Repeat! Cross it out!
We’re done!
What are the factors of 7?
1 x 7
2 x ??
3 x ??
4 x ??
5 x ??
This works, but it is a repeat. We
6 x ?? are done.
7 x 1
 What are the common factors of 16
and 24?
16 24
1 X 16 1 X 24
2X8 2 X 12
4X4 3X8
Hint: Once you repeat a 4X6
number you’re done!!

16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Common Factors: 1, 2, 4, 8
What are the highest common factors
of 16 and 24?
16 24
1 X 16 1 X 24
2X8 2 X 12
4X4 3X8
Hint: Once you repeat a 4X6
number you’re done!!

16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Highest Common Factors: 8
 Subsection 1.4 : Factors and
tests for divisibility
• Factors of 24 are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
• Factors of 40 are 1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
• The common factors of 24 and 40
are 1,2,4 and 8
• The number is divisible when you
divide the number and it has no
remainder
