A factor is a number that divides 30 without leaving a remainder. We start by dividing 30 by each integer starting from 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>( 30 \u00f7 1 = 30 ) \u2192 (1, 30)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>( 30 \u00f7 2 = 15 ) \u2192 (2, 15)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>( 30 \u00f7 3 = 10 ) \u2192 (3, 10)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>( 30 \u00f7 5 = 6 ) \u2192 (5, 6)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the complete set of factors of 30 is: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, and 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Identify which factors add up to 9<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are given that two factors of 30 add up to 9. From the list of factors above, we check pairs of numbers to see if their sum is 9:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 + 30 = 31<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 + 15 = 17<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 + 10 = 13<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 + 6 = 11<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>None of these pairs add up to 9. But notice that if we take <strong>5<\/strong> and <strong>4<\/strong>, they add up to 9. However, <strong>4<\/strong> is not a factor of 30, so this would appear to contradict the problem\u2019s requirements.
