No it's not
They have a converse relationship. A factor is a number that divides into another, with no remainders. A multiple is something that can be multiplied by another number, to reach the original number that you had. Thus: Original number / a factor = a multiple Multiple * (the correct factor) = original number. "the correct factor", because most number have more than one factor. But only one factor * multiple will give the original number.
When one of two numbers is a multiple of the other, the LCM is the larger number.
Divide the smaller number into the larger number. If it comes out evenly with no remainder, the larger number is a multiple of the smaller number. All even numbers are multiples of two.
The LCM is the larger number.
If one number is a multiple of another, then their LCM is the larger number.
Yes, unless the original number is 0 or 1.
Divide the larger number by the smaller one. If the answer is an integer, the larger number is a multiple of the smaller.
The larger number.
The larger number.
The smaller number is a factor of the larger number, and the larger number is a multiple of the smaller.
I think this says that if you multiply a number by 1, you get the original number as the answer.
A multiple can be as large as you like. A factor can only be as large as the number which you start with.
