Lyrics
Everybody ready for factors
Everybody ready for factors
Everybody ready for factors
I’m a break a factor down
Numbers get made multiplied into more numbers
I’m a break a factor down like you do with all numbers
Factors are the numbers getting multiplied together
Factors of the final numbers multiply whatever
I’ll teach you how to factor
Go on try it if it work
All factoring is multiplying in reverse
All number got a factor of one
Cause one multiplied by any number always gives you that number
Factors are to break it down further
When numbers can divide 2 and break down further
Two facts when its factoring time
A factor has got to be composite or prime
Prime is a number that got only two factors
1 and itself are the only two factors
Real talk these facts are true
A composite numbers factor has more than 2
Everybody ready for factors
Everybody ready for factors
Everybody ready for factors
I’m a break a factor down
Everybody ready for factors
Everybody ready for factors
Everybody ready for factors
I’m a break a factor down
