The whole question is problematic, because it boils down to: "is -2 a factor of 10?" The answer is yes, because when you divide 10 by -2, you get an integer result. But in any real GMAT question that discusses integer factors, your numbers will absolutely always be positive. You don't need to know whether negative numbers can be factors - the GMAT is not testing whether you know obscure technicalities in the definitions of math terminology.
