Is 6 a factor of 72 and explain

A factor is a counting number that can be multiplied by another counting number and get the desired number so for exg.

2 times 3=6

2 and 3 are factors of 6

72=2*3*3*2*2

6=2*3

we can see a '2*3' in the factors of 72 so 6 is a factor of 72

BTW 6*12=72

Yes because a factor is a number which can be x another number to make = 72 or other number (not sure of official name)

6 can be x 12 and = 72 so yes that is right

Other factors are 2 and 36 because 2 x 36

Do you get it now?
