KS3 Maths Quiz - Level 3-4 Algebra - Multiples (Questions)

Factors are an important part of KS3 Maths but so are multiples. So what's the difference. Well, factors and multiples
are similar yet opposite. Whereas factors are numbers which another number can be divided into, multiples are the
numbers you get after multiplying a number.

If a number appears in a times table, then the number of the times table is a factor of that number. Conversely, all of the
numbers in a times table are multiples of that number. Here's an example. The number 8 appears in the 1, 2, 4 and 8
times tables and so 1, 2, 4 and 8 are factors of 8. It follows that 8 is a multiple of 1, 2, 4, and 8. Easy eh?

In the field of algebra, you may well be asked to find 'common multiples'. These are numbers which are multiples of two
or more numbers. Things can get a little more complicated but plenty of practise will make you an expert on multiples.

Have a go at this quiz and you will soon understand. Good luck!

[ ] 14, 21, 28, 35 [ ] 30, 60, 90
1 x 7 = 7; 2 x 7 = 14; 3 x 7 = 21; 4 x 7 = 28 1 x 15 = 15; 2 x 15 = 30; 3 x 15 = 45

3. The first 3 multiples of a number are 8, 16, 24. What is 4. The 2nd and 3rd multiples of a number are 22 and 33.
the number? What is the number?
[x] 8 [ ] 5
[ ] 16 [ ] 7
[ ] 24 [ ] 9
[ ] 32 [ x ] 11
8, 16 and 24 are all in the 8 times table Simply divide 22 by 2 and 33 by 3. Easy eh?

5. The 4th and 5th multiples of a number are 24 and 30. 6. Is the number 43 a multiple of the number 11?
What is the number? [ ] Yes
[ ] 3 [ x ] No
[x] 6 [ ] Seldom
[ ] 9 [ ] Often
[ ] 10 44 is a multiple of 11 but 43 most definitely is not!
If you know your times tables then multiples aren't very difficult

7. Which of the following are common factors of 6, 12, 18 8. Which of the following is a common factor of 15, 30, 45
and 24? and 60?
[ x ] 2 and 3 [ ] 2
[ ] 3 and 4 [x] 3
[ ] 4 and 5 [ ] 4
[ ] 5 and 6 [ ] 10
Both 2 and 3 will divide into all the numbers given (6, 12, 18 5 and 3 can be divided into all the numbers given and the
and 24) result is always a whole number. Remember that multiples are
always whole numbers

9. Which of these numbers is not a multiple of 3 and 4? 10. Is 66 a multiple of 3 and 11?
[ ] 12 [ x ] Yes
[ ] 36 [ ] No
[ ] 48 [ ] Seldom
[ x ] 50 [ ] Often
3 and 4 cannot be divided into 50 to give answers of whole Both 3 and 11 will divide into 66 and give results of a whole
numbers number
