Plz i don’t understand factors at all

Factors are numbers that divide evenly into a number

best way to do it start at 1 and go up

example 24

1 and 24

2 and 12

3 and 8

4 and 6

5 and (that's doesn't go in evenly so it not a factor)

6 and 4  and when they repeat like this, stop

Now list all your numbers

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24  and the factors of 24

70,000 + 6,000 + 800 + 30

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
