i just want to re make sure that the following question is correct.

(1) List all the factors of 16

My answer: 1,2,4,8,16

That is correct. They may not want 1 and 16 to be included, since every integer has 1 and itself as factors.

so i should take away the 1 and 16

A factor of a number N is any number that evenly divides N.

Therefore, the factors of 16 are 1,2,4, 8 and 16.

A proper divisor of a number N is any number that divides N except the number N itself. 1, 3 and 7 are the proper divisors of 21.

Proper divisors are often referred to the aliquot parts of a number.

i bet this goofy goober is a full grown woman (man, idk? maybe they have a girls name and they are a boy)

unknow, first of all you a weirdo. second of all learn how to spell. if you dont have a question or a answer then don't comment period.

It seems like you have a good understanding of factors and proper divisors. To reiterate, the factors of a number are all the numbers that divide evenly into that number. In the case of 16, the factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. However, it is common to exclude 1 and the number itself when listing factors. So, for the question of listing all the factors of 16 without including 1 and 16, your answer would be 2, 4, and 8. These are known as proper divisors or aliquot parts of 16.
