Question

What is the difference between a root and a factor? for example the number 9

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

Root is that number which multiplied to itself gives our required number, while factor is any number which divides our required number without leaving a remainder.
For example, in number `9`,
`color(red)(Ro)color(red)(ot rarr)` `3`
Since `3xx3=9`

and Factor`rarr` `1,3,9`
Since `1` divides `9` nine times (no remainder)
`color(white)(aaaa)` `3` divides `9` three times (no remainder)
`color(white)(aaaa)` `9` divides `9` one time (no remainder)

Hope this helps :)
