उत्तर
Factor: A factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number.
Multiple: A multiple of a number is a number obtained by multiplying it by a natural number.
Example 1: We know that 15 = 1 × 15 and 15 = 3 × 5
∴ 1, 3, 5, and 15 are the factors of 15.
In other words, we can say that 15 is a multiple of 1, 3, 5 and 15.
Example 2: We know that 8 = 8 × 1, 8 = 2 × 4 and 8 = 4 × 2
∴ 1, 2, 4, and 8 are the factors of 8.
In other words, we can say that 8 is a multiple of 1, 2, 4 and 8.
Example 3: We know that 30 = 30 × 1, 30 = 5 × 6 and 30 = 6 × 5
∴ 1, 5, 6, and 30 are factors of 30.
In other words, we can say that 30 is a multiple of 1, 5, 6, and 30.
Example 4: We know that 20 = 20 × 1, 20 = 4 × 5 and 20 = 5 × 4
∴ 1, 4, 5, and 20 are factors of 20.
In other words, we can say that 20 is a multiple of 1, 4, 5 and 20.
Example 5: We know that 10 = 10 × 1, 10 = 2 × 5 and 10 = 5 × 2
∴ 1, 2, 5, and 10 are factors of 10.
In other words, we can say that 10 is a multiple of 1, 2, 5 and 10.

Throw two dice together. What are the numbers that turn up on the faces of the dice? Make a two-digit number using them. If it is a multiple of any of the numbers written next to the circles, you can write it in that circle. Then it is your friend’s turn. The one who can write more numbers in 10 rounds is the winner.
Hint: I have 3 and 2 on my dice. If I make 23, it is not the multiple of any of the numbers. So I will make 32, which is a multiple of 4, and write it in the red circle.

Look at the green boxes in the chart. These show how we can get 12 by multiplying different numbers.
12 = 4 × 3, so 12 is a multiple of both 4 and 3. 12 is also a multiple of 6 and 2, as well as 12 and 1. We say 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 are factors of 12.
