A composite number is an integer with more than two factors.

A product is the result of two or more numbers multiplied together.

Prime factors are factors of a number that are, themselves, prime.

An exponent is a number positioned above and to the right of a base value. It indicates repeated multiplication.

Calculating integers from their prime factor expressions

Maths

This unit on factors, multiples, squares and cubes helps pupils build on their understanding that any positive integer can be expressed as a product of its factors. This skill is used in the next unit to explore multiplying and dividing with decimals.

In this unit, pupils learnt how to identify common factors and common multiples. in this unit, pupils build on this understanding to find the LCM and HCF

Properties of number: factors, multiples, squares and cubes

A square number is the product of two {{ }} integers.

Write $$2^2\times3\times5$$ as an integer.

True or false? $$2^3\times3\times5$$ is an even integer.

True, 5 is a factor and 10 is a multiple of 5

False, to be a multiple of 10 it must have a factor of 2 and 5

True or false? $$3\times5^2$$ is a multiple of 10

Which of the following is not a multiple of 6?

Which of the following is a square number?

Fill in the missing word:  Integers greater than 1 are either composite or {{ }}.
