To find out how many bins Jayden could use for 13,080 nails, we need to determine the factors of 13,080. A factor is a whole number that can be divided evenly into another number without leaving a remainder.
Let’s check each option:
1. 10: 13,080 ÷ 10 = 1,308 (no remainder, so 10 is a factor)
2. 2: 13,080 ÷ 2 = 6,540 (no remainder, so 2 is a factor)
3. 5: 13,080 ÷ 5 = 2,616 (no remainder, so 5 is a factor)
4. 3: 13,080 ÷ 3 = 4,360 (no remainder, so 3 is a factor)
All four numbers can evenly divide into 13,080 without leaving any leftover nails. Therefore, Jayden could use 10, 2, 5, and 3 bins.
Keep exploring the relationship between the factors and when organizing items like this can help reinforce your understanding of division and factors!
