ARRANGEMENT OF STARS

Take 6 stars and arrange them in different ways

1 Row 6 Stars/Row = 6 Stars

3

3 Rows 2 Stars per row = 6 stars

4

2 Rows 3 stars per row = 6 stars

5

6 Rows 1 Star/Row = 6 Stars

As we can see, 6 can be written as product of two numbers in many ways: 6=16
6=23

6=32
6=61

1, 2, 3 and 6 are exact divisors of 6

7

ARRANGEMENT OF FOOTBALLS

Take 8 footballs and arrange them in different ways

Arrangement of 8 in different ways

1 Row 8 Balls/Row = 8 Balls

9

2 Rows 4 Balls / Row = 8 Balls

10

4 Rows

2 Balls / Row =
8 Balls

11

8 Rows 1 Ball / Row =

8 Balls

12

1, 2, 4 and 8 are exact divisors of 8.

13

7 divides 28 exactly and gives Quotient 4 and Remainder 0.

28 7 = 4
14

4 divides 28 exactly and gives Quotient 7 and Remainder 0.

28 4 = 7

15

28 divides 28 exactly and gives Quotient 1 and Remainder 0.

28 28 = 1
16

FACTORS OF 28

28 1 = 28 28 4 = 7

28 7 = 4 28 28 28= 1
17

16 1 = 16
16 2 = 8 16 4 = 4

FACTORS OF 16

16 8 = 2 16 16 = 1
18

FACTOR
A factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number i.e. the factor leaves remainder 0 when it divides

the number.
19

4 5 = 20
4 and 5 are factors of 20. We can also say that 20 is multiple of 4 and 5. In 2 12 = 24, 2 and 12 are factors of 24. 24 is the multiple of 2 and 12.

So, a number is a multiple of its factors.

20

Multiples of 2 = 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24
Multiples of 3 = 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36, Multiples of 15 = 15,30,4,60,75,90,105,120,135,

The number of multiples of a given number is infinite.

21

FACTORS OF SOME NUMBERS

8 = 1,2,4,8
16 = 1,2,4,8,16
25 = 1,5,25

22

4 5 = 20

Factors

23

POINTS TO REMEMBER
1 is a factor of every number.

Every factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number.

Every factor is less than or equal to the given number. Number of factors of a given number are finite.
24

POINTS TO REMEMBER
contd

Every multiple of a number is greater than or equal to that number. The number of multiples of a given number is infinite. Every number is a multiple of itself.

25

FACTOR OR MULTIPLE?
For each of numbers in the statements, select either multiple [M] or factor [F] 34 5 = 170
[F] [M] [F] [M] [F] [M]

25
[F] [M]

4
[F] [M]
[F] [M]

= 100
[F] [M]
[F] [M]

90
[F] [M]

10 = 900 6
[F] [M]
[F] [M]

45
[F] [M]

= 270
[F] [M]
[F] [M]
26

7
[F] [M]

30 = 210

State whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE

1. 1 is a factor of every number.

2. The largest factor of any number is the number itself. F

T
3. Number of factors of a given number is infinite. F 4.The number of multiples of 5 is 10. F

T 5.The factors of 65 are 1, 5 and 13 only. F T
