Factors and multiples 1 I can • recognise and work out multiples of a number • recognise and work out factors of a number

Example a Write down two multiples of 16. b Write down all the factors of 16. Solution

f o o

a Multiples of 16 are 1 × 16, 2 × 16, 3 × 16, 4 × 16, and so on.

So two multiples of 16 are two from 16, 32, 48, 64, and so on. b The factors of 16 are numbers that multiply to make 16.

r p ft

16 = 1 × 16 so 1 and 16 are factors. 16 = 2 × 8 so 2 and 8 are factors. 16 = 4 × 4 so 4 is a factor.

a r D

There are no other factors of 16. There are five all together.

Factors and multiples 2 I can • work out common factors and common multiples

Example a Find all the common factors of 12 and 15. b Find two common multiples of 12 and 15. Solution a

= 1 12 12 = 2

6

12 = 3

f o o

The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.

r p ft

The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5 and 15.

The common factors are factors of both numbers. They are 1 and 3.

a r D

b The multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, … The multiples of 15 are 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, …

The common multiples are the numbers in both lists.

The first common multiple is 60. Further common multiples are 120, 180, 240, and so on.
