Types of Numbers

Things to remember:
 A factor is a whole number that divides exactly into another number.
 A multiple is a number that may be divided by another a certain number of times without a
remainder.
 A prime number only has 2 factors – 1 and itself.
 A power tells us how many times the base number has been multiplied by itself
 A root is the opposite of a power.
 A square number is the result of multiplying an integer (whole number) by itself.
