h) multiple - the product of two numbers
i) factor - a number that divides perfectly with no remainder into another
number
j) prime factor - a factor that is a prime number.
k) LCM - the lowest common multiple – the lowest multiple that occurs
for both (or all) the numbers listed.
l) HCF - Highest Common factor – the highest factor that goes into all
the numbers listed.
m) natural numbers - counting numbers that start from 1 and do not have decimals
or fractions.
