Attached pdf of this Article as SPOILER at the top! Happy learning! Hi All,
I have recently uploaded a video on YouTube to discuss
Factors and Multiples in Detail:
Following is covered in the video
¤ What are Multiples?
¤ What are Factors?
¤ How to find the number whose two factors are given.
¤ Relationship between divisor, factor and multiple
What are Multiples?We say that “a” is a multiple of “b” when we can express “a” as a product of “b” and any integera = kb , where k is an integer
Example 1: 6 is a multiple of 2 because we can express 6 as a product of 2 and an integer (3). (6 = 2*3)
Example 2: “a number(n) is a multiple of 3”.
=> n = 3*k (where k is an integer)
What are Factors?We say that a number “a” is a factor of a number “b” when we can write “b” as a multiple of “a”b = ka , where k is an integer
Example 1: 2 is a factor of 6 because we can write 6 as a multiple of 2 i.e. 6 = 2*3
Example 2: “a number(n) has 3 as one of its factor's”.
So, n is a multiple of 3.
=> n = 3*k (where k is an integer)
How to find the number whose two factors are given.If a number has 2 and 3 as its factors then the number will be a multiple of LCM of these two factorsRelationship between divisor, factor and multipleIf n is divisible by 3 then¤ 3 is a factor of n
¤ n is a multiple of 3
¤ n can be written as, n = 3k, where k is an integer
Hope it helps!
Good Luck!
