Factors and Multiples
Summary of factors and multiples
Solved exercise of factors and multiples
Summary
Multiplying two whole numbers gives a products. The numbers that we multiply are the factors of the product.
Example: 3 × 5 = 15
therefore, 3 and 5 are the factors of 15.
Example 2: What are the factors of 12?
3 × 4 = 12, so 3 and 4 are factors of 12
2 × 6 = 12, so 2 and 6 are also factors of 12
and 1 × 12 = 12, so 1 and 12 are factors of 12 as well.
Example 3:
1,2,3,4,6, and 12 then what is 12 called with respect to 1,2,3,4,5 and 12
1×2=12
2×6=12
3×4=12
4×3=12
6×2=12
12×1=12
So 12 is the multiple of 1,2,3,4,6, and 12
Example: Which are the two numbers to be multiplied to get the product 8 ?
Factor tree
Any number can be expressed as product of two numbers . This can be represented diagrammatically by factor tree.
