How is multiple and factor different?
The only number that is both a multiple of a number and a factor of that same number is the number itself. Multiples of a number are equal to or bigger than the number, while factors are equal to or smaller than the number.
Is a factor a multiple?
As a general rule, multiples tend to be larger than factors. This is not always true. 9 is a factor of 27. 6 is a multiple of 3. The important distinction is in the relationship to the number they are factors or multiples of. A factor will be equal to or lesser than the number. A multiple will be equal to or greater than the number.
