Amazing Fact
A number’s composite factors are found by multiplying 2 or more prime factors.
For example: The composite factors of \[18\left( 2\times 3\times 3 \right)\]are\[6\left( 2\times 3 \right)\]and\[9\left( 3\times 3 \right)\]
Real Life Example
Money can use the concept of factors. One can exchange a 100 – Rupee by two 50 – Rupee notes (factors 2 and 50) or five 20 – Rupee note (factors 5 and 20).
QUICK CONCEPT REVIEW
Factors are numbers that multiplies to get another number.
For example: 4 and 7 are multiplied to get 28, then 4 and 7 are factors of 28.
Multiples are product obtained by multiplying one number by another.
For example: 8 and 11 are multiplied to get 88, then 88 is a multiple of 8 and 11.
The factors (or multiples) that are common between 2 or more numbers are called common factors (or multiples) of given numbers.
PROPERTIES OF FACTORS AND MULTIPLIES
Play Time
(1) Make two teams.
Ask the first team to pick up a number between 1 and 50. Then ask them to call out a factor of that number. Ask the second team to call out a factor or multiple of the called out number. Continue this process till all the factors and multiples are said. One who cannot give the factor or multiple will be out.
