Factoring and Dividing Polynomials World 2-4 Factoring and Dividing Polynomials
HELP ME! Math students. You’re my only hope. A Factor is a whole number that divides evenly into another number. 1,2,3, & 6 The factors of 6 are… 1,2,3,4,6,12, & 24 The factors of 24 are… HELP ME! Math students. You’re my only hope.
You’ll never get all these factors. Wahahaha Why are there 60 seconds in a minute, why not 100? 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30 & 60 Factors of 60: 1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50 & 100 Factors of 100: 60 has 12 factors. 100 has 9 factors. You’ll never get all these factors. Wahahaha The Babylonians realized 60 is more convenient for their number system! (More factors)
