Factors and Multiples


Grade seven
2024-2025
Objectives

 Understandfactors, multiples, prime factors,


highest common factors and lowest common
multiples.
 Understandthe hierarchy of natural
numbers, integers and rational numbers.
Warm Up

Find

1x5 2x5 3x5


Answer
1x5=5 2 x 5 = 10 3 x 5 = 15

 What do we call these numbers?


5, 10, and 15 are multiples of 5

Definition
 A prime number is a number which has only two factors, these being
1 and the number itself.
Prime Numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, …

"Factors" are the numbers we can multiply together to get


another number:
Factor Trees
 Find the prime factors of 45.

45= 3x3x5= 3²x5


Highest common factors and lowest
common multiples
 What are the factors of 24 and 28?

So, HCF(24, 28) = 4


Highest common factors and lowest
common multiples
 What is the lowest common multiple of 24 and 28?
Multiples of 24 are: 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216 …
Multiples of 28 are: 28, 56, 84, 112, 140, 168, 196, 224 …

So, LCM(24, 28) = 168


Highest common factors and lowest
common multiples using factor tree

24= x 3 28= x 7
HCF(24, 28) = =4

LCM(24, 28) = x 3 x 7 =168


General Rule
 To find HCF of 2 or more numbers:
• Write the factor tree of both
• Take the common bases raised to the least power

24= x 3 28= x 7
HCF(24, 28) = =4
General Rule
 To find LCM of 2 or more numbers:
• Write the factor tree of both
• Take the uncommon bases and common bases raised to the highest
power

24= x 3 28= x 7

LCM(24, 28) = x 3 x 7 =168
