53 <h3>Problem 1</h3>

54 <p>Identify the perfect square from the factors of 8</p>

55 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

56 <p> The perfect square factor is 4 </p>

57 <h3>Explanation</h3>

58 <p> A perfect square is the number we get when the same number is multiplied two times. Here, the perfect square is 4, which is a product of 2 multiplied twice (2×2=4) </p>

59 <p>Well explained 👍</p>

60 <h3>Problem 2</h3>

61 <p>Calculate the sum of factors of 8 and check whether the sum is divisible by 5.</p>

62 <p>Okay, lets begin</p>

63 <p> The sum of factors is 15, and it is divisible by 5 </p>

64 <h3>Explanation</h3>

65 <p>List the factors of 8 and add them to get 15 as sum. The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4 and 8. When 15 is divided by 5, we get zero as the remainder. Therefore, we can say that 15 is divisible by 5. </p>
