I just wanted some helf to know the difference between factors and multiples and there similarities

Take 6 for example, it has factors 1, 2, 3 and 6, since they can divide 6 completely.
while 6, 12, 18... are multiples of 6 since 6 can divide them completely.

Factor of a given number can always divide a quantity without a remainder.
Multiple of a given number can always be divided by the quantity without a remainder.

As far as similarities are concerned, they are all discussed in the range of integers and they are all multiplication matters.

hope these make sense.

At franklin middle school, 24 of the students are involved in a school sport of these students, 4 of them are girls Janet says this means about .1 of the girls are involved in sports. Is she correct?

No it is .4

In 1950 the estimated world population was 2.6 billion. It was 6.3 billion in 2003 and 6.6 billion in 2007.


What percent of the 2007 population is the 2003 population?

What percent of 2003 population is the 2007 population?

In 2007 about 301 million people lived in the united state.
