A composite number is an integer with more than two factors. All integers greater than 1 are either composite or prime

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

Each composite number has a unique product of its prime factors.  i.e. there is only one unique way it can be written.

Expressing an integer as a product of its prime factors

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

In this unit pupils develop their understanding of factors and multiples, then extend this knowledge to learn general divisibility tests for integers and develop strategies to determine the highest common factor and lowest common multiple of two or more integers.
