Divide 36 by 5 gives = 7.2, the result is NOT a whole number so 5 is NOT a factor)
Divide 36 by 6 gives = 6, the result is a whole number so 6 is a factor)
Repeat the process, dividing 36 by 6,7,8, …, 36, and if the result is a whole number, then the number is a factor.
So the factors of 36 would be: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.
