If W = {x : x ∈ ℕ and x is a factor of 12}, what type of set is W?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Finite set

The natural-number factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. Hence W = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}, which contains exactly six elements. A fixed positive integer has only finitely many positive factors because every factor can be paired with another factor whose product is 12. Therefore, W is a finite set.
