They're both whole numbers. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples. They have an inverse relationship. If A is a factor of B, then B is a multiple of A.

Yes, the factors of 16 are also the factors of the multiples of 16.
The factors of a number are those that can be divided evenly into it.... the factors of 24 are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12.The multiples of a number are those which it can be divided into evenly..... the multiples of 24 are 48, 72, 96, 120 and so on.... endlessly.Some numbers have no factors other than themselves and 1 - these are prime numbers. All numbers have multiples.
Multiples of 50 are the only numbers that are both. All other multiples of 5 aren't.
The multiples of 2, 5, and 10 form columns on the hundred grid because these numbers have factors that are powers of 2 and 5. This allows them to divide the grid evenly into columns. Other numbers may have factors that do not align with the grid structure, causing them to form irregular patterns rather than neat columns.
Sure! The multiples of a number other than 1 will always have at least three factors: 1, the number itself, and the multiple. This means they are not prime numbers, as prime numbers only have two factors: 1 and the number itself. For example, the multiples of 2 will always be divisible by 2, making them composite numbers rather than prime.
