Answer:
Before heading towards the solution, you need to make sure how multiple and factors are related to each other.
The multiple of a number could be obtained by multiply it with another number.
For example, the first five multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60
1 X 12 = 12
2 X 12 = 24
3 X 12 = 36
4 X 12 = 48
5 X 12 = 60
Factors are the numbers that are multiplied to get a given number.
For example,
1 X 12 = 12
2 X 12 = 24
3 X 12 = 36
The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
As division and multiplication can be used to find factors and multiples.
For example a whole number is a multiple of its factors.
Let w = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20} be the set of even wholes numbers from 2 to 20.
As 2 is a factor of 20 because 20 ÷ 2 = 4
20 is a multiple of 2 because 2 X 10 = 20
So, in the same way, the equation 8 X 5 = 40 can be used to determine how factors and multiples are related.
Let the equation be
8 X 5 = 40
8 is a factor of 40 because 8 X 5 = 40
40 is a multiple of 8 because 40 ÷ 5 = 8
So, this is how factors and multiples are related to each other.
