multiple
A multiple is the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. The numbers we multiply together are called factors. Factors divide exactly into another number with no remainder. 3 and 2 are factors of 6 because 3 × 2 = 6. 2 We can also use arrays to help us think about factors and multiples. Arrays are made up of equal rows and columns. There are no remainders. Which two factors can you see each time? What is the multiple?
