Answer
The factors of 10 are :
$1 , 2 , 5 , $ and $10 $
Work Step by Step
Generally , factors of a number $z$ are whole numbers that we multiply together to get $z$ .
To find the factors of 10 , we must find all the whole numbers whose product is $10$ . To do so follow these steps :
1) Start with $1$ you have $ 1 \times 10 = 10 $ so $1 , 10$ are factors .
2) Now try $2$ , we have $2 \times 5 = 10 $ , so $2 , 5$ are also factors .
3) Try $3$ , $3$ is not a factor and so is $4$.
Since there are no whole numbers between 3 and 4 so we are done !
Therefore the factors of 10 are
$ 1 , 2 , 5 ,$ and $10 $
