Multiples and Factors Help
MULTIPLES
If a number is a multiple of another number, it means that it can be made out of adding groups of the other number together.
Examples
12 is a multiple of 4 because 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 (or 4 x 3 = 12)
27 is a multiple of 9 because 9 + 9 + 9 = 27 (or 9 x 3 = 27)
17 is not a multiple of 4 because it cannot be made by adding groups of 4 together.
FACTORS
A factor is a number that divides into another number with no remainder.
In other words every number is divisible by each of its factors.
1 is a factor of every whole number, because every integer is divisible by one.
Examples
3 and 7 are both factors of 21 because 3 x 7 = 21
10 and 6 are both factors of 60 because 10 x 6 = 60
7 is not a factor of 24 because 24 is not divisible by 7 (24 ÷ 7 = 3 remainder 3).
Multiples and Factors are connected with each other:
- if we know that 3 is a factor of 12, then 12 is a multiple of 3
- if we know that 33 is a multiple of 11, then 11 is a factor of 33.
- also, if we know that 24 is not a multiple of 7, then 7 is not factor of 24.
The example below shows the relationship visually.
If we know that 3 is a factor of 24, then 24 must be a multiple of 3.
If we know that 24 is a multiple of 3, then 3 must be a factor of 24.

Factor and Multiples Riddles
Using riddles is a great way to get children to apply their knowledge of factors and multiples to solve problems.
It is also a good way to get children working collaboratively and talking about the language together.
Each riddle consists of some clues and a selection of possible answers.
Solving the clues gradually eliminates all the incorrect answers leaving just one solution.
