The answer must include that before skyscrapers, men built what at the time were considered "very tall" buildings between 4 and 10 floors high. They put elevators into these smaller "very tall" buildings. When skyscrapers came later, the concept of elevators simply went along with the concept of extremely tall buildings that tried to reach the sky. So, technically, elevators came before skyscrapers, in numerous small and large towns with what was then "very tall" buildings that were only a fraction of the size of skyscrapers.

Why are elevators useful?
Elevators made skyscrapers practical buildings, beyond about 10 stories going up and down stairs is tiring and impractical when moving large objects.
What inventions were necessary for the devolpment of skyscrapers?
Steel was the primary thing needed to build skyscrapers. The next one was elevators were needed to get above 3-4 floors and finally equipment to left and move the steel.

Is it true that elevators made skyscrapers possible?
Yes, in certain ways. Financially, practically, and safety-wise (legally), yes. Physically, no, as you could make a building that tall without elevators, but it would be hard to ascend to the top using just the stairs and/or escalators.
What was The greatest factor in the development of skyscrapers?
Availability of steel for the framing, and elevators to move people and goods vertically.
