Factors & Multiples

Two best-friend words in maths. By the end you'll spot them everywhere — in skip counting, sharing snacks, and building number rectangles!

Quick promise: a factor divides a number evenly, and a multiple is what you get when you skip-count. Let's see it for real. Tap Next to begin! 👉
IDEA 1

Multiples are skip-counting steps

A multiple of 5 is any number you land on when you count in 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20… Each hop is one jump of 5.

Tap each hop in order to count in 5s 🐸

Counting in 5s? Every number you reach is a multiple of 5. Easy!
PLAY

Colour every multiple of 4

Tap all the numbers you would say when counting in 4s. Find them all to win! 🎯

Hint: start at 4, then keep adding 4 each time.

IDEA 2

Factors share things equally

A factor of a number divides it into equal groups with nothing left over. Here are 12 cookies shared perfectly:

3 groups of 4 = 12. So 3 and 4 are both factors of 12. ✅

If it shares out evenly with no leftovers, it's a factor. If something is left over, it's not.
PLAY

Which numbers are factors of 12?

Tap a number to test it. If 12 splits evenly, it lights up green. If there's a leftover, it turns red — then just try another! 🌈

Factors of 12 are hiding among 1 to 12. Can you catch all six?

BUILD

Factors come in pairs

Factors love to hold hands! Two factors that multiply to make 12 are a factor pair. Tap each card to reveal its partner. 🤝

1×12, 2×6, 3×4 — every pair makes a neat dot-rectangle of 12.

CHALLENGE

Factor of 12, or multiple of 12?

Tricky bit: small numbers that divide 12 are factors. Bigger numbers you reach by counting in 12s are multiples. Sort each one!

Remember: small & inside = factor. Big & counted = multiple. 🌟
