GURUPRAGYA CLASSES SIKAR's video: Factors and Multiples short trick of common factors and Multiples lcm and hcf of numbers factors

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. Multiples and factors are best explained by using a number sentence such as the following:  This number sentence tells us that 20 is a multiple of 5 and is also a multiple of 4. It also tells us that 5 and 4 are factors of 20.  Multiples and factors in KS1 and KS2 In Year 2, children are expected to recognise multiples of: 2 (these are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 etc.) 5 (these are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 etc.) and 10 (these are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 etc.). The foundation for this knowledge is started in Year 1 where children practise counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. In Year 3, children need to be able to recognise multiples of 2, 5 and 10 up to 1000. They would be taught the rule that any number that has a last digit that is even (24, 68, 102. 888 etc) is a multiple of 2. They would also learn that any number ending in a 5 or 0 (25, 300, 605, 990 etc.) is a multiple of 5. And finally, any number that ends in a 0 (20, 800, 450 etc.) is a multiple of 10. By Year 4, when children have learnt all their times tables they should be able to recognise multiples of any number up to 10. For example, they may be given a number such as 24 and asked if it is a multiple of the following numbers: 10, 2, 5, 8, 6. Their knowledge of times tables should help them to work out that 24 is a multiple of 2, 8 and 6. Children also learn about factors in Year 4. They may be asked to identify pairs of factors of two-digit numbers.
