For example, let&#39;s say we want to find all of the positive factors of $60$.&nbsp; You start by saying $1 \times 60 =60$ and make the gap between the two multiplied numbers smaller and smaller until you find all of them (see below):</p> <p>$$1 \times 60$$</p> <p>$$2 \times 30$$</p> <p>$$3 \times 20$$</p> <p>$$4 \times 15$$</p> <p>$$5 \times 12$$</p> <p>$$6 \times 10$$</p> <p>And we found all of them! Pretty nifty.&nbsp;</p>
