Prime Number
What is prime number?
A number which is divisible by only itself and 1 is a prime
number. So, prime number has only two different factors normally 1 and the
number itself.
A whole number having only 2 factors is called the prime
number.
The two factors of a prime number are 1 and the number
itself.
Let us find all the factors of 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and 19.
(i) 2 → the factors are 1 and 2.
1 × 2 = 2
2 × 1 = 2
(ii) 3 → the factors are 1 and 3.
1 × 3 = 3
3 × 1 = 3
(iii) 5 → the factors are 1 and 5.
1 × 5 = 5
5 × 1 = 5
(iv) 7 → the factors are 1 and 7.
1 × 7 = 7
7 × 1 = 7
(v) 11 → the factors are 1 and 11.
1 × 11 = 11
11 × 1 = 11
(vi) 13 → the factors are 1 and 13.
1 × 13 = 13
13 × 1 = 13
(v) 17 → the factors are 1 and 17.
1 × 17 = 17
17 × 1 = 17
(vi) 19 → the factors are 1 and 19.
1 × 19 = 19
19 × 1 = 19
Therefore,
2 is divisible only by 1 and 2. Therefore, the factors of 2
are 1 and 2.
3 is divisible only by 1 and 3. Therefore, the factors of 3
are 1 and 3.
5 is divisible only by 1 and 5. Therefore, the factors of 5
are 1 and 5.
7 is divisible only by 1 and 7. Therefore, the factors of 7
are 1 and 7.
11 is divisible only by 1 and 11. Therefore, the factors of
11 are 1 and 11.
13 is divisible only by 1 and 13. Therefore, the factors of 13 are 1 and 13.
17 is divisible only by 1 and 17. Therefore, the factors of 17 are 1 and 17.
19 is divisible only by 1 and 19. Therefore, the factors of 19 are 1 and 19.
Thus 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and 19 are prime numbers.
Note:
(i) All prime numbers except 2, are always odd numbers.
(ii) The number 2 is a prime as well as an even number.
(iii) All prime numbers are exactly divisible by 1 and the number itself.

The product of highest common factor (H.C.F.) and lowest common multiple (L.C.M.) of two numbers is equal to the product of two numbers i.e., H.C.F. × L.C.M. = First number × Second number or, LCM × HCF = Product of two given numbers
To find out factors of larger numbers quickly, we perform divisibility test. There are certain rules to check divisibility of numbers. Divisibility tests of a given number by any of the number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 can be perform simply by examining the digits of the
We will discuss here about the method of h.c.f. (highest common factor). The highest common factor or HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest number which divides exactly the given numbers. Let us consider two numbers 16 and 24.
What are the prime and composite numbers? Prime numbers are those numbers which have only two factors 1 and the number itself. Composite numbers are those numbers which have more than two factors.
What are multiples? ‘The product obtained on multiplying two or more whole numbers is called a multiple of that number or the numbers being multiplied.’ We know that when two numbers are multiplied the result is called the product or the multiple of given numbers.
In 4th grade factors and multiples worksheet we will find the factors of a number by using multiplication method, find the even and odd numbers, find the prime numbers and composite numbers, find the prime factors, find the common factors, find the HCF(highest common factors
Examples on multiples on different types of questions on multiples are discussed here step-by-step. Every number is a multiple of itself. Every number is a multiple of 1. Every multiple of a number is either greater than or equal to the number. Product of two or more numbers
