Common factors

Can you remember what a factor is?

Look at the number 12.

How many factors does it have?

Always begin with:

1 x 12

2 x 6

3 x 4

I know that I have all the factors because the next number would be 4 and 4 goes into 12 3 times. We already have that fact above and that tells us we have found them all. 12 has 6 factors.

Repeat this process for 16 and 24.

Have a go at the activity sheet.

Remember to find common factors, you need to see which one is a factor of both the numbers (multiples).

Basic maths facts
