 Multiplication and Division

Common Multiples, Factor Pairs, Common Factors and Commutativity

12 is a common multiple of and , because 12 is a multiple of and a multiple of .
All the factor pairs of 56 are and , and , and , and .

Use this to solve:

56 pencils are shared between 4 tables. How many pencils does each table receive? .
The common factors of 32 and 56 are 1, 2, 4 and 8 because they are factors of both 32 and 56.
Commutativity means changing the order of the numbers in a calculation does not change the
answer: 5 × 9 × 2 = × × = × =

Prime factors are factors of a number that are prime numbers:
the prime factors of 21 are and , the prime factors of 24 are and .
Composite numbers are non-prime numbers: 4 is a composite number because 2 is a factor.

Recall the prime numbers to 19: .

Square and Cube Numbers
