Answer:
Irene is CORRECT.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given number is 88.
The factor of any given number are all those numbers which are DIVIDES COMPLETELY the given number.
So, here, the REMAINDER = 0
Now, Prime Factorizing the number 88, we get:
88 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 11
So, here 2 and 11 are PRIME FACTORS of the number 88.
Also, 88 = 2 x 44 ⇒ 2 and 44 are FACTORS of the number 88.
88 = 4 x 22 ⇒ 4 and 22 are FACTORS of the number 88.
88 = 11 x 8 ⇒ 8 and 11 are FACTORS of the number 88.
Also, a number itself is ALWAYS its factor.
Hence the total factors of 88 are 2, 4 , 8 ,11, 22, 44 and 88.
Irene is CORRECT.
