Understanding Multiples and Divisors

This video tutorial explains the difference between multiples and divisors, two fundamental math concepts often confused by students. It provides detailed explanations and examples of multiples, which are infinite and start with zero, and divisors, which are finite and start with one. The tutorial includes practical examples using numbers like 6, 15, and 36 to illustrate these concepts. Additionally, it offers guidance on how to find more resources for further learning.
