Explanation:

Step1: Understand factor concept

A number has 10 as a factor if it is divisible by 10. A number is divisible by 10 if it ends with 0. Just having 0s in the number is not enough.

Step2: Analyze 1040

The number 1040 has only one 0 at the end. It means 10 is a factor only once.

Answer:

Isaiah is incorrect because 0s at the end of the number indicate 10 as a factor.
