Understanding Factors
Students tackle exercises designed to identify all factors of given numbers, practicing the process of dividing numbers to discover which integers divide without leaving a remainder. These questions not only enhance their number theory skills but also prepare them for more complex topics in algebra, such as factoring polynomials and solving equations.
Finding Factors of Numbers
This collection of questions is designed to deepen students' knowledge of factors—integers that combine through multiplication to form another integer. Students investigate the role of factors in number properties, including the identification of prime and composite numbers. This essential knowledge serves as a foundation for their advancement in mathematics, particularly in topics related to divisibility rules and the greatest common divisors.
Real-Life Applications of Factors
Students explore the practical applications of factors in various scenarios, such as determining the optimal packaging dimensions that minimise material use or maximise storage space, calculating seating arrangements for events, or simplifying wiring plans in electronics. These exercises illustrate the importance of factors in solving everyday problems and in technical and industrial planning, demonstrating how mathematical concepts are applied to achieve efficient and practical solutions.
