Exploring Factors and Multiples

In this video, Mr. Leatherwood and Mrs. Weeks explain the difference between factors and multiples. They demonstrate how to find factors of a number using 18 as an example, showing that factors are numbers that multiply together to form a product. They then explain multiples as a form of skip counting, using 18 as the base number. The video concludes with a reminder of the key differences and introduces a practice quiz.
