A whole number which will divide exactly into another whole number.
6/2 = 3
I need to write correct word to the definition..I m thinking abouth factors but I m not sure?
Right.

I v got some different questions,would you be so kind and check that for me?To find this you must have a set of results.You then need to find the total of the results and divide it by the number of results you have,e.g.Here are set of test marks Paul22,Sally26,David33 To find this you would add them all together(112)and divide them by 4(28)so the answer is 28-I think its mean.
You've only shown 3 test marks.
Its all what I got,and they ask me to put correct word to this definition,so I m thinking that is mean
To find a whole number that will divide exactly into another whole number, you need to determine the factors of the given number.
Factors are the numbers that divide evenly into another number without leaving a remainder. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 because each of these numbers divide evenly into 12.
Here's how you can find the factors of a whole number:
1. Start with the number itself.
2. Divide the number by the smallest prime number, which is 2, to see if it divides evenly without a remainder.
3. If it does, then you have found a factor. Write down the factor and divide the original number by this factor to get a new number.
4. Repeat step 2 and step 3 with the new number, dividing only by prime numbers until you cannot divide any further.
5. The factors you have written down in step 3 are all the factors of the original number.
For example, let's find the factors of 24:
1. Start with the number 24.
2. Divide 24 by 2, which divides evenly without a remainder. So, 2 is a factor. Write down 2 and divide 24 by 2 to get 12.
3. Divide 12 by 2 again, which divides evenly without a remainder. So, 2 is another factor. Write down 2 and divide 12 by 2 to get 6.
4. Now, divide 6 by 2, which divides evenly without a remainder. So, 2 is an additional factor. Write down 2 and divide 6 by 2 to get 3.
5. Finally, you cannot divide 3 by 2 or any other prime number. So, the factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.
These factors are whole numbers that divide exactly into 24.
