Understanding Multiples and Factors

The video tutorial explains the concept of multiples, using the example of the number eight to illustrate how multiples are derived from a number's times table. It also covers how to determine if a number is a multiple of another by using division. The relationship between multiples and factors is discussed, highlighting that if a number is a multiple of another, the latter is a factor of the former. The tutorial concludes with a recap of these concepts, emphasizing the importance of understanding multiples and factors.

What is a multiple of a number?

• A number that divides another number without a remainder

• A number that is the result of multiplying the original number by an integer

• A number that is smaller than the original number

• A number that is a fraction of the original number

Which of the following is NOT a multiple of 8?

• 32

• 34

• 24

• 16

How can you determine if a number is a multiple of another number?

• By adding the numbers together

• By multiplying the numbers

• By dividing the number and checking for an exact quotient

• By subtracting the smaller number from the larger

If 21 is a multiple of 7, what does this imply?

• 7 is not related to 21

• 7 is a factor of 21

• 21 is a factor of 7

• 21 is not divisible by 7

What is the relationship between multiples and factors?

• Multiples and factors are unrelated

• A multiple is always smaller than a factor

• A factor is always larger than a multiple

• If a number is a multiple of another, the latter is a factor of the former
