Question

What is the main difference between Factors & Multiples of numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A multiple is a number that can be divided by another number a certain number of times without a remainder. A factor is one of two or more numbers that divides a given number without a remainder.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take a number, say 2

the  multiple of a number is that number into any other number. Example:

2*2=4

2*8=14

so 4 and 18 are multiples of 2.

They can be infinite multiples of a number

A factor is a number that can completely divide the given number.

Example

2 has only 2 factors which are 1 and 2 so lets take another number, say 10

so the factors of 10 are

10/5=2

10/2=5

10/10=1

10/1=10

so 5,2,10 and 1 are factors of 10.
