Factors, Multiples
and Primes
Numbers occur all around us in many formats and circumstances. For example, your
house number, a phone number, a televison channel number, your password or prices
on shop items. It is important to understand the properties of numbers such as factors,
multiples, prime numbers, squares and square roots to help us in everyday situations.

So, the first four multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36 and 48.

24 X 5 = 120
We are looking for the multiples between 23 and 97. So, we can stop at
the 5*'' multiple of 24, which is 120.
So, the multiples of 24 between 23 and 97 are 24, 48, 72 and 96.

time intervals. One bell rings every 7 minutes, and the other bell rings every
8 minutes. Both bells have just rung. After how many minutes will both bells
ring at the same time again?
We can use highest common factors to solve problems that involve:
• arranging objects in rows or groups. For example, you have 12 movie DVDs,
24 wildlife DVDs, and 30 musical DVDs. You need to pack these DVDs into
containers. You can only pack one type of DVD in each container. Each
container must have the same number of DVDs. What is the greatest number
of DVDs you can pack in each container?
• splitting things into parts of equal size, so that the parts are as large as
possible. For example, you can use your knowledge of highest common
factors to help you solve an everyday problem. You have two pieces of cloth.
One piece is 32 cm wide and the other piece Is 48 cm wide. You want to cut
both pieces into equal widths that are as wide as possible. How wide should
you cut the pieces into?

Multiple
A multiple is a number that is the product of a Highest Common Factor (HCF)
given number and some other number.
The biggest number that is the factor of each
number.

Adding integers Subtracting integers
5 + 8 = 13 5+ -8 5 - (-8) = 5 + 8 5 - (-8) = -5 + 8
= 13 = 3
8-(-5) = 8 + 5 = 13 -8)-(-5) = -8 + 5 = -3

Up and down, left and right
The earliest known elevator dates back to the middle of the
19^^ century. But we can trace this form of mechanism right
back to the Greek and Roman times. They were used to lift and
swing things. For example, a shadufvjas used to raise water
from a river. In the same way, we use elevators to reach the top
and bottom of buildings. Your knowledge of integers helps you
to understand how many floors you need to go up or down to
reach your destination. The tallest building, The Burj Khalifa, has
an elevator that reaches 153 floors and covers 504 metres. But
that's just up and down! What about horizontally? In the future
you may be able to travel, vertically, horizontal
and possibly diagonally. How would you use your
knowledge of Integers in this type of elevator?

O; There are many possible solutions to the mathematical sentence. Instead of
using symbols in the sentence, we can use letters x and y.
We can write x + y = 10. We see that the values of x and the values for y
can vary.
X can be 1 and y can be 9, or x = 3 and y = 7.
We say that x and y are solutions to the problem.
x + y is an algebraic expression.x + y = 10 is an equation.

An expression is used to represent a value in algebraic form. It is different
from an equation. An equation contains an equal sign {=) which shows that
the expressions on either side of it are equal to each other.
