Factors and Multiples Guide

The document discusses factors and multiples. A multiple is formed by multiplying a number by counting numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc. Factors are numbers that can be multiplied together to get a product. Prime numbers only have two factors while composite numbers have more than two factors. The document provides examples of finding factors and multiples, and identifies which numbers are factors or multiples in statements.

Multiples
• A multiple is formed by multiplying a
given number by the counting numbers.
• The counting numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, etc.
Example: List the multiples of 4:

• 4x1=4 So, the multiples of 4


are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24,
• 4x2=8 28, etc.
• 4 x 3 = 12
• 4 x 4 = 16
• 4 x 5 = 20
• 4 x 6 = 24

Counting Numbers
What are the first five
multiples of 13?
13 x 1 =13
13 x 2 = 26
13 x 3 = 39 13, 26, 39, 52, 65
13 x 4 = 52
13 x 5 = 65
Find the Missing Multiples
24 ____
• 6, 12, 18, ____, 30

15 ____,
3 6, 9, 12, ____,
• ___, 18 21

72
12 24, 36, 48, 60, ____
• ___,
Factors
• Factors are the numbers you multiply
together to get a product.
• For example, the product 24 has several
factors.
• 24 = 1 x 24
• 24 = 2 x 12
• 24 = 3 x 8
• 24 = 4 x 6
• SO, the factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Finding Factors
• Start with 1 x the number.
• Try 2, 3, 4, etc.
• When you repeat your factors, cross out
the repeat - you’re done at this point.
• If you get doubles (such as 4 x 4), then yo
u’re done. Repeats or doubles let you
know you’re done.
What are the factors of 16?
1 x 16
2x8
3 x ?? 3 is not a factor, so cross it out

4x4 doubles = done

The factors of 16 are


1,2,4,8,16
What are the factors of 18?
1 x 18 The factors are
2 x 9 1,2,3,6,9,18
3 x 6
4 x ??
5 x ??
6 x 3 Repeat! Cross it out! We
’re done!
What are the factors of 7?
1x7 The only factors
2 x ?? of 7 are 1,7
3 x ??
4 x ??
5 x ??
6 x ??
7 x 1 This works, but it is a repeat. We
are done.
Prime and Composite
Numbers

Prime numbers are Composite numbers


numbers that only have have more than two
two factors: one, and the factors.
number itself.
EXAMPLES:
EXAMPLES: 6, 18, 30, 100
3, 5, 7, 11, 31
POINTS TO REMEMBER
• 1 is a factor of every number.
• Every factor of a number is an exact
divisor of that number.
• Every factor is less than or equal to the
given number.
• Number of factors of a given number are
finite.

12
POINTS TO REMEMBER
contd

• Every multiple of a number is greater


than or equal to that number.
• The number of multiples of a given
number is infinite.
• Every number is a multiple of itself.

13
FACTOR OR MULTIPLE?
For each of numbers in the statements, select
either multiple [M] or factor [F]
 34 × 5 = 170
[ F] [ M ] [ F ] [ M] [ F ] [ M]
 25 × 4 = 100
[ F] [ M ] [ F ] [ M] [ F ] [ M]
 90 × 10 = 900
[ F] [ M ] [ F ] [ M] [ F ] [ M]
 45 × 6 = 270
[ F] [ M ] [ F ] [ M] [ F ] [ M]
 7 × 30 = 210
[ F] [ M ] [F] [M] [F] [M]
