This function should test if the factor
is a factor of base
.
Return true
if it is a factor or false
if it is not.
Factors are numbers you can multiply together to get another number.
2 and 3 are factors of 6 because: 2 * 3 = 6
- You can find a factor by dividing numbers. If the remainder is 0 then the number is a factor.
- You can use the mod operator (
%
) in most languages to check for a remainder
For example 2 is not a factor of 7 because: 7 % 2 = 1
Note: base
is a non-negative number, factor
is a positive number.
