In the problem 3 x 4 = 12, 3 and 4 are factors and 12 is the product.
Factoring is like taking a number apart. It means to express a number as the product of its factors. Factors are either composite numbers or prime numbers (except that 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite).
The number 12 is a multiple of 3, because it can be divided evenly by 3.
3 x 4 = 12
3 and 4 are both factors of 12
12 is a multiple of both 3 and 4.

Factors create multiples, multiples break down into factors.
I think you mean prime factors 2x2x2x2x2
Do you mean common multiples? If so, then 30, 60, 90 etc. are common multiples of 30 and 5. If you mean multiples of 5 and factors of 30, that's 5, 15 and 30.
Multiples are the numbers that can be divided by their factors. Like multiples of 2 are 2,4,6,8,10 and so on .The numbers obtained from the multiplication of 2 with all the natural numbers are the multiples of 2.
the factors and multiples of 396 are 1,2,3,4,6,9,11,12,18,22,33,36,44,66,99,132,198,396
Factors: 1,2,3,6 Multiples: 6,12,18,24 and so on.
Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples. Divisibility shows what factors come out of what multiples.
Factors of the number will also be factors of the number's multiples. Multiples of the number will also be multiples of the number's factors.
Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
It is always useful to know about factors and multiples.
Factors of 35 are 1 and 35, 5 and 7. Multiples mean 1x35=35, 2x35=70. So, it depends on how many multiples are requested by the question.
Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
