Answer:

  • factor: a submultiple; an integer value that gives an integer quotient when the number is divided by it.
  • multiple: the product of the number and another integer

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Factors</h3>

A set of factors of a number (N) is a set of integers {f1, f2, f3, ...} whose product is the number:

  f1 × f2 × f3 × ... = N

Often the term "factors" is used to mean "prime factors," the set of prime numbers whose product is N.

When N = 25, the prime factors are {5, 5}. That is ...

  5×5 = 25

__

<h3>Divisors</h3>

A "divisor" of a number is a sub-multiple of N. That is, the quotient N/k is an integer for some divisor k of N. Usually, we're interested in integer divisors. All prime factors will be integer divisors of N. The term "factor" is often used when the term "divisor" is meant.

Divisors of N = 25 include 1, 5, and 25. There will be an odd number of integer divisors (as here) if the number N is a perfect square.

__

<h3>Multiples</h3>

For an integer k, the value k×N is called a <em>multiple</em> of N, often, the <em>k-th multiple</em> of N.

Multiples of 25 include 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, and any other decimal number ending in 25, 50, 75, or 00.

__

<em>Another example</em>

When N=30, the prime factors are {2, 3, 5}. The divisors are {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30}. (Note there are an even number of divisors.) Multiples of 30 include 30, 60, 90, 120, ....

Barbara earns $16.50 per hour for the first 8 hours she works What
Bingel [31]
In the morning she worked 3 hours and 45 minutes. In the afternoon she worked 5 hours and 15 minutes. That is a total of 9 hours. At $16.50 per hour for 8 hours that comes to $132. Plus the 1 hour over time with breaks down to $18.50 plus $8.25 totaling $24.75. Add that to the $132 and she made a total of $156.75 for Wednesday’s work. I hope this helps with your question.
