What is the difference?
- 1Function: Divisors are numbers that divide another number without leaving a remainder, while multiples are numbers that are products of another number and an integer.
- 2Result: Divisors are smaller than the original number being divided, while multiples are larger than the original number being multiplied.
- 3Usage: Divisors are used in finding factors and solving division problems, while multiples are used in finding common denominators and solving multiplication problems.
- 4Calculation: Divisors are calculated by dividing a number by other numbers, while multiples are calculated by multiplying a number by other numbers.
- 5Examples: Divisors are used in finding prime numbers, while multiples are used in finding LCM (Least Common Multiple) and GCF (Greatest Common Factor).
Remember this!
Divisor and multiple are both mathematical terms used in arithmetic operations. However, the difference between them is their function and result. A divisor is a number that divides another number without leaving a remainder, while a multiple is a number that is the product of another number and an integer. Divisors are used in finding factors and solving division problems, while multiples are used in finding common denominators and solving multiplication problems.
