    2.3 Common multiples and factors


    We are going to …
    • find common multiples
    • find common factors.

    Imagine you have this bar of chocolate. You divide it between you
    and your friends so you all have the same number of pieces.

    common factor
    common multiple
    factor  multiple

    You can divide it equally between 2 people, 3 people, 4 people, 6 people,


    8 people, 12 people or 24 people.
    We say that 24 is a common multiple of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.
    In this section you will learn about common multiples and common factors.

    Worked example 3

    Anna is thinking of a number.


    She says, ‘My number is a multiple of 3 and 5 and is less than 20.’

    What number is Anna thinking of?

    Multiples of 3 are: The answer must be less than 20.


    3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18

    2.3 Common multiples and factors

    Continued

    Multiples of 5 are: You need to find a common multiple of 3 and 5,


    5, 10, 15 so the answer must appear in both lists.

    Answer:
    Anna is thinking of 15.

    Exercise 2.3
    1 Write the numbers in the correct place on a copy of the Venn diagram.
    5 14 15 18 20 21 24 29 30 60

    Multiples of 2 Multiples of 3

    Multiples of 5

    Which numbers are common multiples of 2, 3 and 5?


    Discuss your answer with your partner. Do you agree with each other?

    2 Numbers and sequences

    2 The numbers in this sequence increase by 3 each time.


    3, 6, 9, 12, …
    The numbers in this sequence increase by 5 each time.
    5, 10, 15, 20, …
    Both sequences continue.
    Write a number bigger than 100 which is in both sequences.
    3 Write all the common multiples of 3 and 8 that are less than 50.
    4 Olivia and Amir play football regularly.
    Olivia plays once every 4 days.
    Amir plays once every 3 days.
    If they both play football today, how many times in the next fortnight
    will they play on the same day?
    a Write the factors of 18.
    b Write the factors of 24.
    c Draw a ring around the common factors.
    Are you using common multiples or common factors in your answer?
    Explain the difference.
    5 Write all the factors of 30 that are also factors of 20.
    6 Pierre gives 32 football cards to his friends.
    He shares them equally so all his friends have the same amount.
    How many friends could Pierre have? Explain your answer.

    Think about your answer. Are there any other possible


    answers? How do you know? Did you think about checking
    your answer with your partner?

    2.3 Common multiples and factors

    7 Isabella has three digit cards.

    1 5 6

    Which two cards could she use to make:


    a a common multiple of 5 and 13?
    b a common factor of 60 and 90?

    Think like a mathematician

    The sequence 4, 2, 1, 3 uses the


    numbers 1 to 4 so that each number is
    either a factor or a multiple of the Tip
    previous number.
    Use digit cards
    Each number is used once only.
    that you can easily
    Find a similar sequence that uses the move around.
    numbers 1 to 6.
    You will show you are specialising when you find solutions to the problem.

    Look what I can do!

    I can find common multiples.


    I can find common factors.
