What is the factor game?

The factor game is a math game. You or your oppenet will circle a number. After someone circles a number, the other person circles that number's factors. Then when all the numbers don't have anymore factors, the game is over and you have to add up your points. HINT: Don't circle a number that has no factors because you will lose your turn and your oppenet will get to circle a number. HINT: For your first turn, try to circle the highest prime number. And that's how you play the factor game! :)
