You've heard of the x-factor, and the wow factor, but do you know what a factor is in maths?
Pick a Figure 1
Picking a Figure to Fulfil Criteria will test whether or not you know the meaning of mathematical terms like factor, prime, multiple and square. As long as you know what these are, and you can do some basic maths, you should find this quiz a doddle.
Here are definitions of those terms, just in case you need a reminder:
- Factor – a number which divides into another number without leaving a remainder
- Multiple – a number in another number’s times table
- Prime – a number which can only be divided by two numbers (one and itself) without leaving a remainder
- Square – the answer we get if we multiply a number by itself
Now we’ve refreshed your memory, it’s time for the quiz. Please make sure you don’t rush. Failing to spot the word ‘not’ in a question can make all the difference. Good luck!
Example:
Which of the following is not a factor of 24?
2, 6, 4, 48, 12
Answer:
‘Factor’ means a number which fits exactly into another. The numbers 2, 4, 6 and 12 all fit into 24 whereas 48 does not, so the correct answer is 48.

Multiples are numbers you find after multiplying another number. More simply, if a number is in another number’s times table, then it is a multiple of that number. To quickly see if a number is a multiple of another, divide it by the other number and, if there is no remainder, it is a multiple.
