Divide out & only interest
Hi guys,
In the following sentences, I don't know the exact meaning of the words marked in red. I need to figure out their meaning and think maybe some of you might help me.
Any idea would be welcomed.
Thanks~

65 ÷ 62 = 63, because we are dividing out two of the five factors of 6, leaving three factors of 6, or 63.
Q2: Does this "only interest" have same meaning with "simple interest" or could it be some other meaning like "the best interest" or "the only one kind of interest on the deposit"?
The only interest on a deposit left for 1 year in a bank is 8%. Suppose Tom put $1000 in the bank for 1 year, then decided to reinvest the $1000 plus the interest he received, for another year. At the end of the 2 years, how much money will Tom have (principal + total interest)?

- To calculate 6 5 ÷ 6 2 = 6 3 , you can just "cross out" two of the five factors of 6, like this: (6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6) ÷ (6 x 6) = 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 This is what they mean by "dividing out".
