It would help to have a few specific examples as I am not sure how much depth you want to go into.
To find all of the factors of a big number, I find the square root of that number and round down. Then all factors must be equal to or lower than that square root.
eg To find the factors of 1200, the square root is 34.6. Round down to 34. Any factors of 1200 must be 34 or less. Then I just try starting from 2 (1 is always a factor), I try to divide by all of the numbers up to 34. Some will not work. So factors of 1200 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 25, 30.
To find multiples, use multiplication tables. e.g. multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28 etc.
If you want Lowest Common Multiples, and Greatest Common Factor, then that involves different process.

What do factors and multiples have in common?
Factors create multiples, multiples break down into factors.
How would finding the Lcm help you when dividing items into equal groups?
It doesn't. You need common factors for that, not common multiples.
