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?

i would explain it to him like this:

Factors are the numbers you multiply to get another number. For instance, factors of 15 are 3 and 5, because 3×5 = 15. Some numbers have more than one factorization (more than one way of being factored). For instance, 12 can be factored as 1×12, 2×6, or 3×4.

Step-by-step explanation:

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
