DS question on properties of numbers

[wonhwajung0204]

If r and s are positive integers, is r/s an integer?

1) every factor of s is also a factor of r.

2) every prime factor of s is also a prime factor of r.

Im having trouble understanding this question. My answer choice was E because I don't know how to distinguish if R is > or < S. How do you know the direction of signs by statements provided?

P.S. English is my second language, maybe that is why I am not fully understanding the context and meaning behind the sentence structures.

"Every factor of s" includes s itself, so statement 1 implies that s is a factor of r. Therefore, in statement 1, s < r.
