You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the numbers couldn't be broken down into their simpler components we wouldn't be able to solve many problems.
-----
breaking the numbers down into their simpler components is called factoring.
-----
10/2 = 5 because 2*5 = 10
2 and 5 are factors of 10.
-----
7-3 = 4 because 4 + 3 = 7
4 and 3 are factors of 7
