Here are the factors of 64 using the two methods: Method 1: 1 x 64 = 64 2 x 32 = 64 4 x 16 = 64 8 x 8 = 64 Method 2: The 1st and last factors multiply to 64 (1 x 64) The 2nd and 5th factors multiply to 64 (2 x 32) The 3rd and 4th factors multiply to 64 (4 x 16) The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. The factors of 250 using both methods are: 1 x 250 = 250 2 x 125 = 250 5 x 50 = 250 10 x

Numbers, Factors &

Multiples
Types of Numbers
Types of Numbers
There are different types of numbers. For now, you only need to
know:
• Even
• Odd
• Prime
• Composite
• Square
• Triangular numbers.
Even Numbers
Even numbers are all numbers which are exactly divisible by 2.
• This means if you have an even number of sweets, you can
share your sweets with a friend, so you both have the same
number of sweets to enjoy.

Even numbers all end with either a 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.


• Examples of even numbers: 8, 12, 24, 36, 50
Odd Numbers
Even numbers are numbers which will leave a remainder of 1
when divided by 2.
• This means if you have an odd number of sweets, and you
share your sweets equally with a friend, so you both have
the same number of sweets to enjoy, you will have 1 sweet
left over.

Odd numbers all end with either a 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9.


• Examples of even numbers: 11, 23, 67, 105.

Prime Numbers
A prime number is a number that has only two distinct factors: 1
and itself.
• A prime number can only be divided by itself or 1.
• This means that if you have a prime number of
sweets, you can only share your sweets equally
with the same prime number of friends or you
have them all to yourself.

Examples of prime numbers are 7, 13, 29, 37


Composite Numbers
A composite number is a number that has more than two
factors.
• This means they can be divided with no remainders by more
than 2 numbers.
• This means either a number is a prime number or it is a
composite number.
Example of composite numbers: 4, 6, 32, 100
• 4 has three factors.
• It can be divided by 1, 2 or 4

Square Numbers
When a whole number is multiplied by itself, the resulting
product is called a square number.
• Examples of square numbers:
• 1×1=1
• 2×2=4
• 3x3=9
• 9 × 9 = 81
• So, 1, 4, 9 and 81 are called square numbers.
Square Numbers
We can represent square numbers through a square array of
dots.
If you can make a square using dots, the number is a square
number.
• We saw 1, 4, 9 and 81 are square numbers.
Triangular Numbers
Triangular numbers are numbers that can make a triangular dot
pattern.

1, 3, 6, 10 and 15 are triangular numbers

Do you
remember
from
year 3?
Factors and Multiples
Without realising it, we use factors and multiples in our daily life.
• Example: when you need to change a £50 note with a friend
or at the school canteen, you may ask for five £10 motes or
ten £5 notes .
• So, 5 and 10 are factors of 50.
Factors and Multiples
Have you realised that when you are buying fruits or other items
you are using multiples?
• Example: if a pencil costs £2 and you are buying 4 pencils, it
will cost you £ (2 × 4) = £8.
• Therefore 8 is a multiple of both 2 and 4.
Factors and Multiples
What are the factors of 12?
Method 1
• 1 x 12 = 12 therefore 1 and 12 are factors of 12
• 2 x 6 = 12 therefore 2 and 6 are factors of 12
• 3 x 4 = 12 therefore 3 and 4 are factors of 12

So, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12


What are the factors of 12?
Method 2: The Factor Rainbow
If we multiply:
The 1st and the last factor we get 12 (1 x 12)
The 2nd and 5th factors we get 12 (2 x 6)
The 3rd and 4th , the two middle factors, we get
12 (3 x 4)

So, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12


Remember
Finding Factors: Method 1
• 1 x 12 = 12 therefore 1 and 12 are factors of 12
• 2 x 6 = 12 therefore 2 and 6 are factors of 12
• 3 x 4 = 12 therefore 3 and 4 are factors of 12

So, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12

Method 2: The Factor Rainbow


If we multiply:
The 1st and the last factor we get 12 (1 x 12)
The 2nd and 5th factors we get 12 (2 x 6)
The 3rd and 4th , the two middle factors, we
get 12 (3 x 4)

So, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
