Our app lets your child earn screen time minutes in their favourite apps by watching educational videos and correctly answering quiz questions. And the best part? You get to decide which apps to lock behind learning using 1Question.
Learning time
Kids learn by watching short, engaging video lessons.
Factors are the numbers you multiply together to find a product. Every number has at least two factors, one and itself. The number 12 has 1 x 12, 2 x 6 and 3 x 4, for a total of six factors. The factor pairs for 32 are 1 and 32, 2 and 16 and 4 and 8. When you want to make a list of your factors from least to greatest, you connect the rainbow on each end with your factors starting with the least and going to the greatest. 3 x 5 is 15 if I put commas in between there's my list from least to greatest. When you look at the number 20, we notice 20 is an even number, so it must have a factor of two. We also know that it ends in zero, so it will have factors of both 5 and 10 so now you know how to find factors of a number
