Factor Tree Lab

Grow factor trees for 24, 36 and 60. On each branch, drop the smallest prime factor on the left and the other factor on the right. Keep going until every branch ends in a prime. A wrong number shows a hint.

What are factors and multiples?

A factor is a number that divides another number exactly. A multiple is what we get when we multiply a number by 1, 2, 3 and so on. Since 3 × 4 = 12, the numbers 3 and 4 are factors of 12, and 12 is a multiple of 3 and of 4.

Think of a train 🚂 with 12 seats in each carriage: the seat numbers at the end of each carriage, 12, 24, 36, are multiples of 12!

Words to know

Word	Meaning	Example
🔢 Factor	divides exactly	1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12 for 12
🦘 Multiple	in the times table	5, 10, 15, 20 for 5
🔍 Prime	exactly 2 factors	2, 3, 5, 7, 11
🧱 Composite	more than 2 factors	4, 6, 8, 9, 10

Two ways to find prime factors

🌳 Factor tree: split the number into two factors, and keep splitting until every branch is a prime.
🪜 Ladder method: divide by the smallest prime that fits, write the answer below, and repeat until you reach 1.
Both ways give the same answer: 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3.

Easy trick: to find all the factors of a number, write factor pairs starting from 1. For 18: 1 × 18, 2 × 9, 3 × 6. When the pairs start repeating, you have them all.

More examples

Factor tree of 60 → 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

Multiples of 7 → 7, 14, 21, 28, 35

Common multiple of 4 and 6 → 12

This Factors and Multiples worksheet for Class 4 turns factor trees and the ladder method into a train ride with online activities and interactive games. Flip the cards, grow trees in the Factor Tree Lab, climb the ladder in the labs and challenges, and play the games.

Maths Factors and Multiples Class 4

Factors and multiples are two ideas that come from multiplication. A factor is a number that divides another number exactly, and a multiple is what we get when we multiply a number by 1, 2, 3 and so on. In Class 4, children find factors and factor pairs, list multiples, tell prime numbers from composite numbers, break numbers into prime factors using a factor tree and the ladder (division) method, and find common factors and common multiples. This guide explains each idea in simple language for Class 4 students, parents and teachers. It goes with the Factors and Multiples worksheet for Class 4 on WitKnowLearn, which also gives an online quiz, online activities and interactive games on the same page.

Introduction to Class 4 Maths: Factors and Multiples

What is there in this topic

Factors and factor pairs
Multiples and skip counting
Prime and composite numbers; 1 is neither
Prime factors using a factor tree
Prime factors using the ladder (division) method
Common factors and common multiples

Learning objectives

These objectives are written for this page from the topic's goals; they are not copied from any one book.

Find all the factors of a number using factor pairs.
List the multiples of a number.
Tell prime numbers from composite numbers.
Write a number as a product of primes with a factor tree or the ladder method.

Learning outcomes

After this page a child can:

List the factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18.
Write the first five multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20.
Draw a factor tree to show 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3.
Use the ladder method to show 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3.
