5th Grade Factors and Multiples
Here we will discuss how factors and multiples are related to each other in math.
Definition of Factor:
A factor of a number is a divisor which divides the dividend exactly.
For example,
2 is a factor of 6, 3 is a factor of 12 etc.
Let us consider some more examples.
1. Write all the factors of 36.
Solution:
All the factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.
A factor of a number which is a prime number is called a prime factor.
For example, 3 is a prime factor of 36.
2. Find the prime factor of 312.
Solution:
Therefore, the prime factors of 312 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 13.
Definition of Multiple:
A multiple of a number is the product of the number and a whole number.
For example, multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, etc.
Here 4 is the product of 4 and 1.
Similarly, 8 is the product of 4 and 2 and 12 is the product of 4 and 3 and so on.
Let us consider an example.
1. Find the first five multiples of 24 except itself.
Solution:
The first five multiples of 24 are
24 x 2 = 48,
24 x 3 = 72,
24 x 4 = 96,
24 x 5 = 120,
24 x 6 = 144
Remember:
The factors of a number are always limited but the multiples of a number are unlimited.
For example, 16 has only 5 factors 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 but its multiples are unlimited — 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, ...
