According to the definitions I am familiar with,
\n" ); document.write( "the factor of 35 are 1, 5, 7, and 35,
\n" ); document.write( "while the factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10=5%2A2\"$ , $\"40=5%2A8\"$ , and $\"56=7%2A8\"$ could be values for $\"xy\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " $\"24=3%2A8\"$ could not be a value for $\"xy\"$ because $\"3\"$ is not a factor of either $\"35\"$ or $\"16\"$ , so $\"xy\"$ cannot have 3 for a factor. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
