  • 1 is the smallest factor and the number is the highest factor.
  • A number can have more than 2 factors.
  • A factor of the number is less than or equal to the given number.
  • The factors of any numbers are finite.


Multiples





The product of two numbers are called multiples. Muiltiples are multiplication of a given number.

Properties of MUltiples

  • Every number is a multiples of itself.
  • Every number is a multiple of 1
  • Every multiples is greater than or equal to that number
  • The first(smallest) multiples of every number is the number itself
  • The multiples of any number are infinite. So there is no greatest multiples.
