Front

What are the first five multiples of 3?

Back

The first five multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15.

Front

What is a factor of a number?

Back

A factor of a number is an integer that can be multiplied by another integer to produce that number. For example, factors of 20 include 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20.

Front

How do you find the factors of a number?

Back

To find the factors of a number, divide the number by integers starting from 1 up to that number. If the division results in an integer with no remainder, both the divisor and the quotient are factors.

Front

What is a factor pair?

Back

A factor pair consists of two numbers that, when multiplied together, equal a given number. For example, (2, 12) is a factor pair of 24.

Front

What are the first five multiples of 8?

Back

The first five multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40.

Front

How do you determine the next three multiples of a number?

Back

To determine the next three multiples of a number, add the number to the last known multiple repeatedly. For example, for 6: 6, 12, 18, the next three multiples are 24, 30, and 36.

Front

What is the relationship between multiples and factors?

Back

Multiples of a number are the results of multiplying that number by integers, while factors are the integers that can divide that number without leaving a remainder.

Front

What is the least common multiple (LCM)?

Back

The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest multiple that is evenly divisible by all the numbers.

Front

How can you find the least common multiple of two numbers?

Back

To find the least common multiple of two numbers, list the multiples of each number and identify the smallest multiple that appears in both lists.
