Multiples and Factors

Multiples and Factors

by Aaditri Dimri

​Factors

Let`s write the "​Factors" of 16

​

​1 x 16 = 16

​2 x 8 = 16

​4 x 4 = 16

​

​So the factors of 16 are - 1, 2, 4 and 16 (the number itself)

​Let`s take another example -

​Write the Factors of 20.

​

​1 x 20 = 20

​2 x 10 = 20

​4 x 5 = 20

​

​Thus, the factors of 20 are - 1, 2, 4 and 20 (the number itself)

​Multiples

​Let`s write multiples of 12.

​12 x 01 = 12

​12 x 02 = 24

​12 x 03 = 36

​12 x 04 = 48

​12 x 05 = 60

​12 x 06 = 72

​12 x 07 = 84

​12 x 08 = 96

​12 x 09 = 108

​12 x 10 = 120

​

​So 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120 and so on are the multiples of 12

​​Let`s write multiples of 19.

​19 x 01 = 19

​19 x 02 = 38

​19 x 03 = 57

​19 x 04 = 76

​19 x 05 = 95

​19 x 06 = 114

​19 x 07 = 133

​19 x 08 = 152

​19 x 09 = 171

​19 x 10 = 190

​

​So 19, 38, 57, 76, 95, 114, 133, 152, 171, 190 and so on are the multiples of 12
