LISTING ALL THE FACTORS OF A WHOLE NUMBER
EXAMPLES:
Question: List all the factors of $\,30\,$:
Answer: $1\,$,$\,30\,$,$\,2\,$,$\,15\,$,$\,3\,$,$\,10\,$,$\,5\,$,$\,6\,$
For the computer to recognize your answer as correct,
you must list the factors in the order indicated in the example:
• The factors occur in pairs that multiply together to give $\,30$
• $1\,$ goes into $\,30\,$ evenly, giving the pair $\,1\,$,$\,30\,$.
You must write the smaller number first in each pair.
• $2\,$ goes into $\,30\,$ evenly, giving the pair $\,2\,$,$\,15\,$
• $3\,$ goes into $\,30\,$ evenly, giving the pair $\,3\,$,$\,10\,$
• $4\,$ doesn't go into $\,30\,$ evenly
• $5\,$ goes into $\,30\,$ evenly, giving the pair $\,5\,$,$\,6\,$
• For this example, these are all the factors.
• The numbers must be separated by commas; spaces are optional.
Question: List all the factors of $\,25\,$:
Answer: $1\,$,$\,25\,$,$\,5\,$
Only list the factor $\,5\,$ once.
