Description
Factors
Factors of a given number are all the smaller numbers which can be divided evenly into the given number.
For example: the factors of 48 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24. That means that 48 can be divided by all of those numbers.
They are useful when cancelling with fractions.
Highest (Greatest) Common Factor

The highest (greatest) common factor of two or more numbers is the largest number that can be divided into all of the numbers equally.
Here is how to find out the HCF of 32, 36, and 48.

32 = 2x2x2x2x2
36 = 2x2x3x3
48 = 2x2x2x2x3
Pick out any common numbers.
2 comes up in all three lines twice. Thus, the HCF is 2x2 = 4.
This means that 4 is the largest number that can be divided into the three given numbers.

Multiples

Multiples of a given number are larger numbers into which the given number can divide evenly. The multiplication tables list them for all numbers up to 12. For higher numbers, they can be easily obtained.
For example: some multiples of 7 are 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, and 70.
They are useful when adding and subtracting fractions having different denominators.
Lowest (Least) Common Multiple

The lowest (least) common multiple of two or more numbers is the lowest number into which the number can divide evenly.
Here is how to find the LCM of 6, 8, and 9.

6 = 2x3
8 = 2x2x2
9 = 3x3

Pick out the common numbers
2 appears twice, and 3 appears twice. That leaves 2, 2, and 3 without duplication. Count multiples once and singles once. Thus, the LCM is 2x2x2x3x3 = 72.
This means that 72 is the smallest number into which the three given numbers can be divided.

FACTORS & MULTIPLES : FACTORS & MULTIPLES PARAMJIT 1

Slide 2 : 2 ARRANGEMENT OF STARS Take 6 stars and arrange them in different ways

Slide 3 : 3 1 Row × 6 Stars/Row = 6 Stars

Slide 4 : 4 3 Rows × 2 Stars per row = 6 stars

Slide 5 : 5 2 Rows × 3 stars per row = 6 stars

Slide 6 : 6 6 Rows × 1 Star/Row = 6 Stars

Slide 7 : 7 As we can see, 6 can be written as product of two numbers in many ways: 6 = 1 × 6 6 = 2 × 3 6 = 3 × 2 6 = 6 × 1 1, 2, 3 and 6 are exact divisors of 6

Slide 8 : 8 ARRANGEMENT OF FOOTBALLS Take 8 footballs and arrange them in different ways

Slide 9 : 9 Arrangement of 8 in different ways 1 Row × 8 Balls/Row = 8 Balls

Slide 10 : 10 2 Rows × 4 Balls / Row = 8 Balls

Slide 11 : 11 4 Rows × 2 Balls / Row = 8 Balls

Slide 12 : 12 8 Rows × 1 Ball / Row = 8 Balls

Slide 13 : 13 1, 2, 4 and 8 are exact divisors of 8.

Slide 14 : 14 7 divides 28 exactly and gives Quotient 4 and Remainder 0. 28 ÷ 7 = 4

Slide 15 : 15 4 divides 28 exactly and gives Quotient 7 and Remainder 0. 28 ÷ 4 = 7

Slide 16 : 16 28 divides 28 exactly and gives Quotient 1 and Remainder 0. 28 ÷ 28 = 1

Slide 17 : 17 28 ÷ 1 = 28 28 ÷ 4 = 7 28 ÷ 7 = 4 28 ÷ 28= 1 1 4 7 28 FACTORS OF 28

Slide 18 : 18 16 ÷ 1 = 16 16 ÷ 2 = 8 16 ÷ 4 = 4 16 ÷ 8 = 2 16 ÷ 16 = 1 1 2 4 8 16 FACTORS OF 16

FACTOR : FACTOR A factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number i.e. the factor leaves remainder 0 when it divides the number. 19

Slide 20 : 20 4 × 5 = 20 4 and 5 are factors of 20. We can also say that 20 is multiple of 4 and 5. In 2 × 12 = 24, 2 and 12 are factors of 24. 24 is the multiple of 2 and 12. So, a number is a multiple of its factors.

Slide 21 : 21 Multiples of 2 = 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24… Multiples of 3 = 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,… Multiples of 15 = 15,30,4,60,75,90,105,120,135,…… The number of multiples of a given number is infinite.

Slide 22 : 22 FACTORS OF SOME NUMBERS 8 = 1,2,4,8 16 = 1,2,4,8,16 25 = 1,5,25

Slide 23 : 23 4 × 5 = 20 Factors Multiple

POINTS TO REMEMBER : 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. 24

Slide 25 : 25 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. POINTS TO REMEMBER contd
