Best Answer

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.

No. A factor goes into a number. A number goes into a multiple. They have an inverse relationship in the sense that if A is a multiple of B, then B is a factor of A.
