Question

EXERCISE 2A
1 Define: (i) factor (ii) multiple. Give five examples of each.​

Answer 1

factor its only factor

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of a given number is the group of all those numbers, which when multiplied together gives the given number.

For example, 6 = 2 x 3

So, 2 and 3 are the factors of 6.

Similarly, 15 = 3 x 5

21 = 3 x 7

22 = 2 x 1 1

105 = 3 x 5 x 7

Multiple: If a number is completely divisible by another number then it is said to be its multiple.

For example, when 6 is divided by 2 , quotient is 3 and remainder is 0.

So, 2 is a multiple of 6.

Similarly,  4 is a multiple of 12.

5 is a multiple of 25

8 is a multiple of 64.

22 is a multiple of 66.
