Justin wrote the following indirect proof: Prove: 7 is a factor of 91. Step 1: Assume that 7 is a factor of 91. Step 2: 91 divided by 7 is 13. Step 3: A factor is an integer by which another integer is divisible. Step 4: Therefore, 7 must be a factor of 91. Which step in Justin's proof is incorrect? Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 i think it step 4 but i'm not sure
