A friend has asked you to explain to them how to find the factors of a number. How would you describe it to them? What examples would you use?

Factors are the two numbers you multiple to get a certain number. What I use to find factors of a number is a factor tree. It is a fast and very simple way of helping find factors. For example, lets use the number 30. We have to find the numbers that can be multiplied to get 30.

Now find the biggest number that can go into 30. Which would be 15 times 2.

So it would look like this:

             30

              ^

          15    2

u dumb boi

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
