ARRANGEMENT OF STARS

Take 6 stars and arrange

them in different
ways

2
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

6
As we can see, 6 can be written as
product of two numbers in many
ways: 6=1×6
6=2×3
6=3×2
6=6×1
1, 2, 3 and 6 are exact divisors of 6

ARRANGEMENT OF FOOTBALLS

Take 8 footballs and arrange

them in different
ways

8
 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
1 = 28
28 ÷ 4
4 =7
28 ÷ 7
7 =4
28 ÷ 28
28= 1
17
FACTORS OF 16
16 ÷ 1 = 16
16 ÷ 2 = 8
16 ÷ 4 = 4
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 Multiple

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?

either multiple [M] or factor [F]
 34 × 5 = 170
[ F ] [ M] [ F ] [ M] [ F] [ M ]
 25 × 4 = 100
[ F ] [ M] [ F ] [ M] [ F] [ M ]
 90 × 10 = 900
[ F ] [ M] [ F ] [ M] [ F] [ M ]
 45 × 6 = 270
[ F ] [ M] [ F ] [ M] [ F] [ M ]
 7 × 30 = 210
[ F ] [ M] [ F ] [ M] [ F] [ M ]

26
