Multiples and Factors
Multiples A multiple is formed by multiplying a given number by the counting numbers. The counting numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.
Example: List the multiples of 4: 4 x 1 = 4 4 x 2 = 8 4 x 3 = 12 4 x 4 = 16 4 x 5 = 20 4 x 6 = 24 Counting Numbers So, the multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, etc.
What are the first five multiples of 13? 13 x 1 =13 13 x 2 = x 3 = x 4 = x 5 = 65 13, 26, 39, 52, 65

2. Break the numbers down into the prime factors that make them up.
Step 1 Write the number you are going to break down 90 Step 2 Plot a vertical line at the right side of the number 90
Step 3 Write the smallest prime that divides the number. Start with number 2 and continue with 3, 5 and son on. Half of 90 is divided by 2 is
Can you divide 45 by 2 with no remainder? Continue with the next prime number that is 3.
Continue with the next prime number that is 5. Step 4 Repeat the same procedure until the quotient is 1
Let´s try together Write the smallest prime that divides the number. Start with number 2. HALF OF 120
