As we can see, 6 can be written as
product of two numbers in many
ways: 6 = 1 × 6
6 = 2 × 3
6 = 3 × 2
6 = 6 × 1
1, 2, 3 and 6 are exact divisors of 6

FACTOR
A factor of a number is an exact
divisor of that number i.e. the factor
leaves remainder 0 when it divides
the number.
10. 10
4 × 5 = 20
4 and 5 are factors of 20. We can also
say that 20 is multiple of 4 and 5.
In 2 × 12 = 24,
2 and 12 are factors of 24.
24 is the multiple of 2 and 12.
So, a number is a multiple of its
factors.

Multiples of 2 =
2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24…
Multiples of 3 =
3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,…
Multiples of 15 =
15,30,4,60,75,90,105,120,135,……
The number of multiples of
a given number is infinite.
