I agree that they were not specific enough on the question. I was suggesting that they were looking for the prime factors of 20. The only prime numbers that are factors of 20 are 5, 2, and 1. They must be playing that fun game in school that I always hated: While your answer is correct, the answer on my test is more correct.
