Factors of numbers

Every time i deal with math concepts, i am amazed. The study of math is so vast that your learning on math never ends. Today i will share with you my learning on factors and give you examples of factors, say factors of 28.

Factors are the numbers used for dividing the given number exactly. All numbers are divisible by 1. Prime numbers are those which are exactly divisible by 1 and itself. So all prime numbers have only two factors. But other numbers except prime numbers have more than two factors.

Factors of 28 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28. Likewise we can get factors of 48, factors of 72 and so on. Getting factors are really interesting, so get along with the factors of numbers and enjoy factors.

Learning factors with me i guess is not that bad, i will wait for your comments. Next time i will come back to some other concepts of math. I hope you enjoyed this one and will enjoy further too.
