factors of $""36:{1,2,3,4,6,9,12,36}$

Factors of a number are numbers that divide exactly into that number. So the factors of $" "36" "$ are the numbers that divide exactly into it.

One way is to find what pairs of numbers multiply to give $" "36" "$

$color(red)(1xx36)=36$

so $" "1" "$ & $" "36" "$ are factors.

$color(red)(2xx18)=36$

$color(red)(3xx12)=36$

$color(red)(4xx9)=36$

$color(red)(6xx6)=36$

There are no more possible pairs so we have all the factors in question
