Factors and multiples are two sides of the same idea. The factors of 12 are the numbers that divide it exactly (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12). The multiples of 3 are the numbers in the 3 times table (3, 6, 9, 12…). This Class 4 topic is the base for HCF, LCM and fractions in later classes.
What your child should know
- A factor divides a number exactly, with no remainder.
- Every number has 1 and itself as factors.
- Multiples of a number never end: 4, 8, 12, 16…
- If 3 is a factor of 12, then 12 is a multiple of 3.
