Isn't sixteen a factor of 16?

You are correct on the prime factors of 40

should i leave the 16 as part of the factor of 16 or no.

yes, leave it. 16 is a factor of 16.

You have mostly correct answers for both questions.

To list all the factors of 16, you need to find all the numbers that evenly divide into 16. In this case, the numbers that divide evenly into 16 are 1, 16, 2, 8, and 4. So your answer should be:

1, 16, 2, 8, 4

For the prime factorization of 40, you correctly identified the prime factors as 2, 2, 2, and 5. So your answer of 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 is correct.

When it comes to including 16 as a factor of 16, the answer is yes. Every number is considered a factor of itself. So in the case of listing all the factors of 16, you should include 16 as one of the factors.
