when we talk about multiples and factors we are talking about whole numbers.
I’m going to choose 24 just because it has a nice selection of factors.
A factor of 24: A whole number that has a whole number that pairs up with it so it’s product is 24.
1x24
2x12
3x8
4x6
Those are all factors of 24, 1,2,3,4,6,8, 12, 24.
All factors must be whole numbers.
Multiples of 24 would be 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144......
since
24=1x24
48= 2x24
72=3x24
96=4x24
it is just the product of a whole number by the number you’re working with.
