Consider the number 10. Since 10 is evenly divisible by 2 and 5, you can conclude that both 2 and 5 are factors of 10. The table below lists the factors for 3, 18, 36 and 48. It is important to note that every integer number has at least two factors: 1 and the number itself.
What are the factors of 2 and 7?
The gcf of 2 and 7 can be obtained like this:
- The factors of 2 are 2, 1.
- The factors of 7 are 7, 1.
- The common factors of 2 and 7 are 1, intersecting the two sets above.
- In the intersection factors of 2 ∩ factors of 7 the greatest element is 1.
- Therefore, the greatest common factor of 2 and 7 is 1.
What are the common factors of two numbers?
Factors that two numbers have in common are called the common factors of those numbers. What are the common factors of 20 and 25? The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, and 20. The factors of 25 are 1, 5, and 25. The common factors of 20 and 25 are 1 and 5. What are the common factors of 15 and 30? The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.

Which is a multiple of 5 and a factor of 20?
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. In Year 2, children are expected to recognise multiples of: 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.
What is the difference between a factor and a multiple?
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:
