This fairly simply challenge involves quite a powerful little test which you may find yourself using on a regular basis.
The idea is to allow the user to enter 2 numbers. Create a simple form to allow the user to input the numbers.
After validating the input you will then check if the first number is a factor of the second number.
Print out a suitable message to the user.
For example, if the user enters 5 and 20 then we need to test if 5 is a factor of 20.
WHAT IS A FACTOR?
A factor is a number (there are other factor types) that will divide exactly into another number without leaving a remainder.
In the case of our example, if we take 20 and divide by 5 then we get 4 and no remainder. Therefore, 5 is a factor of 20.
Other factors of 20 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
