Factors and Multiples: A Quick Guide
A factor of a number divides into it exactly, with nothing left over. A multiple of a number is what you get when you multiply it by 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. They are two sides of one idea: if 4 is a factor of 12, then 12 is a multiple of 4, because 4 × 3 = 12.
Three worked examples
Example 1 · Is it a factor?
Is 6 a factor of 24? Divide: 24 ÷ 6 = 4, with nothing left over, so yes. Is 5 a factor of 24? 24 ÷ 5 = 4.8, so no.
Example 2 · Is it a multiple?
The multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and so on. Is 35 a multiple of 7? Yes, 7 × 5 = 35. Is 40? 40 ÷ 7 = 5.71…, so no.
Example 3 · Two names, one fact
12 × 3 = 36. So 12 is a factor of 36 and 36 is a multiple of 12. All the factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36.
Three common mistakes
Mixing up the two words. A factor is never bigger than the number. A multiple is never smaller than the number. If a choice is bigger than 24, it cannot be a factor of 24.
Choosing a number that only looks close. 25 is near 24, but 24 ÷ 25 is not a whole number. Always test by dividing.
Forgetting 1 and the number itself. 1 and 24 are factors of 24. Every number is also a multiple of itself.
How to use the game
Choose Factors Only, Multiples Only or Mixed. Start with Up to 30 and 60 seconds.
Read the word in the question card (FACTOR or MULTIPLE) before you look at the choices.
Drag the one correct number into the slot. Several correct answers in a row build a streak.
Use quick tests: if the last digit is even, the number divides by 2; if the digits add up to a multiple of 3, it divides by 3. See Divisibility Rules.
