KEY WORDS: Factor, Multiple, Prime Number
Multiples
Multiples are nice and easy. They are numbers that
appear in the multiplication tables of any given number.

For example:

3 12 27 40 36 18 21 16 9

Which of these numbers above are multiples of 4?

Which numbers are multiples of 9?

Which numbers are multiples of 3?
 Multiple: A number which
appears in the given number’s
MULTIPLication table

1 3 8 12 16 20 13 15 2

17 24 19 6 36 18 7 4 30
From these numbers, find me… • 6 Multiples of 4
• 6 Multiples of 6
• 6 Multiples of 20
 Factor: A number which goes
into another number without
leaving a remainder

Your turn…
How can we make 12? What are the factors of…
8? 53?
1 x 12 = 12 30?
2 x 6 = 12 24? 13? 27?
3 x 4 = 12 18?
100? 41?
So, the factors of 12 are…

1 2 3 4 6 12
Some of those numbers only had two factors.

A Prime Number is a
number that has exactly two
factors

13, 41 and 53 are three prime numbers.

Which of these numbers are prime numbers?

3 12 27 7 36 18 11 19 9
 There are 25 prime numbers under 100.

A Prime Number is a
number that has exactly two
factors

Can you write down all of them?

How many can you get? Test yourself by writing them out on paper:

2 3 5 ? ? ? 17 19 ?
.. Keep going :D

The highest common factor
(HCF) of two numbers is the
highest whole number which
divides into both.

The lowest common multiple

(LCM) of two numbers is the
smallest number that is a multiple
of both.
 We can use the prime factors of a
number to find the HCF and LCM of larger
numbers.
Example: Find the HCF and the LCM of 12 and 8
