9 is a multiple of 3. (3x3=9)
It is because 3 is a factor of 9. So if 9 is a factor of some number X, then X = k*9 for the factor pair 9 and k But X = k*9 = k*(3*3) = (k*3)*3 so that X is k*3 times 3 ie it is a multiple of 3.
the factor tree of 9 is 3 squared, or 3 x 3. 9 breaks down into 3 and 3.
If one number is a factor of another number, the greatest common factor will be the lesser number. Example: 3 and 9 3 is a factor of 9 3 is a factor of 3 There can be no higher factor of a number than the number itself. Therefore, the GCF of 3 and 9 is 3.
Both 6 and 9 have the number 3 as a prime factor. 6 = 3 x 2 9 = 3 x 3
