Wow! What a great question! 36 is a composite number as it has factors other than 1 and itself. Factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. I hope that helps!

A Factor is a number that divides in to another number leaving no remainder.
Factors of 36
When doing factors try to do them in pairs, for example if you think 2 is a factor say to yourself ''what times 2 to give 36'', it is 18 so you can write 2 and 18 as a factor pair. Try to also start from 1 times table and work your way up so you do not miss any factors out.
So Factors of 36 are:
1, 36
2, 18
3, 12
4, 9
6
Notice you do not write 6 twice.
Square numbers will always have one factor with out a pair.
I hope you found this useful.
