Multiple of numbers play a significant role in our daily life. This is the
basis of mathematical calculations. Let’s say you and your friend are
going to a restaurant. You have your lunch there on every fourth day
and your friend has his lunch every sixth day so how many days you
meet again for lunch at the same restaurant?
What Is A Multiple?
After multiplying the number by an integer (not a fraction) we can get
multiples. Normally the skip counting or “count by” numbers are most
often called multiples.
Example 1:
● 1×3=3
● 2×3=6
● 3×3=9
● 4×3=12
● 5×3=15…
3,6,9,12,15 these numbers are multiples of 3. All these numbers you
say as you count by threes are the multiples of three. Also, you can
recognize that these are the products or the answers, to the time’s table
for three.
Example 2:
● 6×6=36
● 7×6=42
● 8×6=48
● 9×6=54
● 10×6=60…
36, 42, 48, 54, 60 these numbers are multiples of 6. These products are
to the time’s table for six.
● Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 etc.
● Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 etc.
● Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 etc.
Ans: The first six multiples of two are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.
Ans: The first multiple of any number is the number itself. E.g.
9×1=9, 13×1=13
Ans: The multiples of 10 that are also multiples of 5 are 10, 20, 30, 40,
50 etc.
Ans: The next multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56.
Factors of a Number
How many of you are still in doubt what factors mean? It is quite
obvious that a lot of you actually don’t understand the way your
teacher has taught you. No worry! You can simply go through this
chapter and get your fundamentals cleared! We will discuss all the
factors of numbers in this chapter.
Factors of a Number
Example:
● 5×2=10
● 6×2=12
● 7×2=14
● 8×2=16 and so one.
Therefore 10,12,14,16 these numbers are the multiples of 2. Multiples
of 4:
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th
4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40
In the following example, let us assume that each group should have
an equalnumber of apples. No Apple should be left out of the box but
each grouping should be different. In one box we have 12 apples. So,
here 1×12= 12. Now, we decide to divide the apples equally into 2
boxes. So, we can put 6 apples in two boxes each.
Multiples
Those numbers which are multiples of 2 is Those numbers which are not multiples of 2
known as even numbers. is known as odd numbers.
From the common factors of given two numbers who is the greatest or
the highest factor among them that is known as Highest Common
Factor (HCF).
Prime Factorisation
Ans: From the common factors of given two numbers who is the
greatest or the highest factor among them that is known as Highest
Common Factor (HCF).
