If A = {x ∈ ℕ : x is a factor of 12} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}, what is the correct conclusion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A = B
The positive natural-number factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. These are exactly the elements listed in B, with no missing or additional element. Since two sets are equal when they contain precisely the same elements, A = B. The order in which elements are written does not affect equality.
