The numbers a and c are factors of b because of the Commutative Property of Multiplication. For this reason, each multiplicand in a multiplication expression is called a factor. A number can have many factors.
Number | Factors |
---|---|
48 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 |
21 | 1, 3, 7, 21 |
9 | 1, 3, 9 |
Factors can also be extended to negative numbers because, for example, -2×-24=48.
Number | Negative Factors |
---|---|
48 | -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -8, -12, -16, -24, -48 |
21 | -1, -3, -7, -21 |
9 | -1, -3, -9 |
