Factors and Multiples
The multiples of a number are determined by multiplying the number by 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on, or
by skip counting.
For example, the multiples of 12 are: 12, 24, 36, 48, ...
Multiples that are the same for 2 numbers are common multiples.
• To determine the first 3 common multiples of 4 and 6:
The multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, …
The multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, …
12, 24, and 36 appear in both lists.
So, 12, 24, and 36 are the first 3 common multiples of 4 and 6.
A factor is a number that divides exactly into another number.
For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 are the factors of 12.
Each number divides into 12 with no remainder.
Factors that are the same for 2 numbers are common factors.
A prime number is a number with exactly 2 factors, 1 and itself.
• To determine the factors of 40:
40  1 = 40
1 and 40 are factors.
40  2 = 20
2 and 20 are factors.
40  4 = 10
4 and 10 are factors.
40  5 = 8
5 and 8 are factors.
The factors of 40 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40.
Some of the factors are prime numbers.
The factors of 40 that are prime numbers are 2 and 5.

Polynomials
To add polynomials, group like terms, then combine the terms by adding their coefficients.
• To add: (8x + 7) + (3x2 + 2x – 3)
(8x + 7) + (3x2 + 2x – 3)
= 8x + 7 + 3x2 + 2x – 3
= 3x2 + 8x + 2x + 7 – 3
= 3x2 + 10x + 4
Remove the brackets.
Collect like terms.
Combine like terms.
To subtract polynomials, use the properties of integers.
Subtracting an integer is the same as adding the opposite integer.
So, to subtract a term, add the opposite term.
• To subtract: (3n2 + 7n) – (2n2 – 4n)
(3n2 + 7n) – (2n2 – 4n)
= 3n2 + 7n – (2n2) – (–4n)
= 3n2 + 7n – 2n2 + 4n
= 3n2 – 2n2 + 7n + 4n
= n2 + 11n
Subtract each term.
Add the opposite term.
Collect like terms.
Combine like terms.
To multiply a polynomial by a monomial, use the distributive property to multiply each term in
the polynomial by the monomial.
• To multiply: 4c(–3c + 4)
4c(–3c + 4) = 4c(–3c) + 4c(4)
= –12c2 + 16c
Multiply.
• To multiply: –3(–4y2 + y – 7)
–3(–4y2 + y – 7) = (–3)(–4y2) + (–3)(1y) + (–3)(–7)
= 12y2 – 3y + 21
