No. A factor is a number or algebraic expression by which another is exactly divisible. A multiple is a number that can be divided by another number without a remainder.
Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.

Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
Factors are the numbers that can multiply to make up a given number. 1, 2, 5 and 10 are the factors of 10 because 10 x 1 and 5 x 2 equal 10.
Multiples are created by multiplying a given number by successive counting numbers.
10 x 1= 10
10 x 2 = 20
10 x 3 = 30
10, 20 and 30 are multiples of 10
Notice that 10 is both a factor and a multiple of itself.
All nonzero whole numbers have factors and multiples. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.
Factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48
Multiples: 48, 96, 144 and so on. Thanks Eric Barnes
Common factors go into the numbers, the numbers go into common 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.
Let's deny the premise. I don't think they are opposites. The opposite of a factor is a non-factor or a number that is not a factor and in special cases factors and multiples are the same. 10 is both a factor and a multiple of 10.
28 is a multiple of 14, so it can be proven that any factor of 14 must be a factor of 28.
