PRIME FACTORIZATION
A number can be expressed as a product of its factors. This is called factorization.
When a number is expressed as a product of its prime factors, it is called prime
factorization of the number.
Eg. 8 can be expressed as 1 x 8 or 2 x 2 x 2 or 2 x 4
Prime Factorization of 8 = 2 x 2 x 2
Find the prime factorization of 40 by factor tree method.
40 40
2 x 20 or 4 x 10
2 x 10 2 x 2 2 x 5
2 x 5
Ans. 40 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5

MULTIPLES
When two or more numbers are multiplied, we obtain a product. This product is a
multiple of each of the numbers being multiplied.
Eg. 2 x 5 = 10, thus 10 is a multiple of 2 and 5.
Properties of Multiples
• Every number is a multiple of itself.
Eg. 7 is a multiple of 7.
• Every number is a multiple of 1.
Eg. 19 is a multiple of 1.
• The smallest multiple of a number is the number itself.
Eg. Multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16… so the smallest multiple of 4 is 4.
• Every multiple of a number is either equal to or greater than the number.
Eg. Multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35…
• A number has infinite multiples.
Eg. Multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15…
