Question

which numbers are factors of 32?

check all that apply.

1
2
3
4
6
8

Explanation:

Define factors of a number

Factors are whole numbers that divide a given number evenly without leaving a remainder.

Test each given option

We divide \(32\) by each number in the list to check for integer results:

• \(32 \div 1 = 32\) (Factor)
• \(32 \div 2 = 16\) (Factor)
• \(32 \div 3 = 10.67\) (Not a factor)
• \(32 \div 4 = 8\) (Factor)
• \(32 \div 6 = 5.33\) (Not a factor)
• \(32 \div 8 = 4\) (Factor)

Identify the correct factors

The numbers that divide \(32\) perfectly are \(1\), \(2\), \(4\), and \(8\).
