Multiple of A Number The Product of That Number and Another Non-Zero Whole Number

1. A multiple of a number is the product of that number and another non-zero whole number. The document provides examples of the first five multiples of 4 and 9. 2. A common multiple is a number that is a multiple of two or more given numbers. To find common multiples, one lists the individual multiples and identifies the numbers that are common to both. The first three common multiples of 2 and 3 are identified as 6, 12, and 18. 3. A factor of a given number is one that can divide it exactly without remainder. All factors of 15 are identified as 1, 3, 5, and 15.

MULTIPLES

1. Odd Number- Cannot divide by 2

2. Even Number- Can divide by 2

3. Prime Number- Can divide by 1 and by itself (1 is not Prime Number)

A) Listing the Multiples of a number

1. The multiple of a number is the product of that number and another non-zero whole
number.

For example:-
(a) Multiples of 4

= 4 x 1, 4 x 2, 4 x 3, 4 x 4, 4 x 5,...
= 4, 8, 12, 16, 20,...

(b) First five multiples of 9

2. A number is a multiple of itself and 1.

For example:-

7 is a multiple of 7 and 1 since

7 = 7 x 1 and 7 = 1 x 7.

Worked example
List the first five multiples of
(a) 8 (b)140

Solution

COMMON MULTIPLES AND LOWEST

COMMON MULTIPLE ( LCM )


A) Finding Common Multiples

1. A common multiple is a number which is a multiple of two or more given numbers.

For example:-

30 is a multiple of 3. 30 is also a multiple of 5.

Therefore, 30 is known as the common multiple of 3 and 5.

2. Common multiples of two or more given numbers can be found by listing the multiples of
these numbers.

Worked example

Find the first three common multiples of

(a) 2 and 3.

Solution

(a) Multiples of 2 = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20,...

Multiples of 3 = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21,....

Therefore, the first three common multiples of 2 and 3 are 6, 12 and 18.

Worked example

Find the common multiples of 2, 4, and 5 that the less than 100.
