Factors and multiples
"Factors" are the numbers you multiply together to get another number
Prime Numbers and Composite Numbers
A Prime Number can be divided evenly only by 1 or itself.
And it must be a whole number greater than 1.
Example: 7 can only be divided evenly by 1 or 7, so it is a
prime number.
But 6 can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 3 and 6 so it is NOT a prime number (it is a composite number).
When a number can be divided up evenly it is a Composite Number
When a number can not be divided up evenly it is a Prime Number
So 6 is Composite, but 7 is Prime
