Definition of factor: the multiplication of two integers, in which both numbers are called factors of product. (that is, an integer can be divisible by another integer, which is a factor of the former)

example

2x6= 12

The product of 2 and 6 is 12, so 2 and 6 are factors of 12. 12 is a multiple of 2 and also a multiple of 6.

3x4= 12

3 and 4 are also factors of 12. 12 is a multiple of 3 and 4.

Multiply integer a by integer b to get integer c. Integer A and Integer B are called factors of Integer C, and Integer C is a multiple of Integer A and Integer B. ..
