Factors of the number

The video tutorial explains how to divide 6 apples among different numbers of people to find the factors of 6. It demonstrates division by 1, 2, 3, and 6, showing that these numbers result in whole apples per person. Attempts to divide by 4 and 5 are unsuccessful as they do not yield whole numbers. The tutorial concludes by identifying the factors of 6 as 1, 2, 3, and 6.

Explain how many apples each person gets when divided by 3 persons.

• 1 apple

• 2 apples

• 3 apples

• 4 apples

Why do we stop dividing the apples at 6 persons?

• Because we run out of apples

• We cannot divide by a number bigger than the whole number

• It is not necessary

• All persons get equal apples
