are factors the same as multiples?

Factors and multiples are different things. But they both involve multiplication: Factors are what we can multiply to get the number. Multiples are what we get after multiplying the number by an integer (not a fraction).

1 Expert Answer They are both correct. Since both 2 is a factor of 8, all multiples of 8 are also multiples of 2. Since 4 is a factor of 8, all multiples of 8 are also multiples of 4.

A factor is a number that divides into another number exactly and without leaving a remainder. Most numbers have an even number of factors; however, a square number has an odd number of factors. A prime number has only two factors - the number itself and 1.

Factors of a number are any numbers which divide into a given number evenly. Common factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, & 12. The largest of these (12) is the greatest common factor (GCF). Listing factors is one way to find the GCF.

No because multiples of odd numbers can be odd or even. When you multiply an odd number by an even number, the answer is always even. For example, 3 x 2 = 6.

Pretty much every whole number or every integer has the common factor of 1. They both share the common factor 2 and they both share the common factor 4. So we're not just interested in finding a common factor, we're interested in finding the greatest common factor. So all the common factors are 1, 2 and 4.

50 and Multiples For example, 50 is a multiple of all these numbers: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50. And 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 are all factors of 50. 50 is a composite number. 50 = 1 x 50, 2 x 25, or 5 x 10.

A factor is a number that divides into another number exactly. To find the common factors of two numbers, you first need to list all the factors of each one and then compare them. If a factor appears in both lists then it is a common factor. For example, the factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4 and 8.

If you prime factorize a number which is a multiple of 3, you will get at least one factor of 3. Because there's a factor of 3, this number will by definition not be a power of 2. ... Since 2 and 3 are prime, it follows that no power of 2 is divisible by 3.

50 and Multiples 50 is a composite number. 50 = 1 x 50, 2 x 25, or 5 x 10. Factors of 50: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50.

Yes, they are the same. You just have to factor the (x2 - 1) in the numerator of f(x) and cancel out the (x + 1).

The prime factors of 4 are 2 and 2, the prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3. So the least common multiple will be the maximum number of factors of 2 (that's two) and the maximum number of factors of 3 (that's one). So it is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12. For a harder example, consider 84 and 315.

1 Expert Answer Since 4 is a factor of 8, all multiples of 8 are also multiples of 4.

The factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, and 10. You can also look at this the other way around: if you can multiply two whole numbers to create a third number, those two numbers are factors of the third. 2 x 5 = 10, so 2 and 5 are factors of 10.
