What are the factors of 6?

  1. 1, 6

  2. 1, 2, 3

  3. 2, 3, 4

  4. 3, 4, 5

The correct answer is: 1, 2, 3

The factors of a number are the numbers that can evenly divide into that number. In this case, 6 has 3 factors 1, 2, and 3. Option A (1, 6) is incorrect because it only includes the smallest and largest number, but not all possible factors of 6. Option C (2, 3, 4) and D (3, 4, 5) are incorrect because they include numbers that cannot evenly divide into 6. Therefore, the correct answer is B (1, 2, 3).
