Answer:

Multiple

Explanation:

A multiple of 5 is anything that it can multiply into. For example: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and so on.

A factor is a number that divides into your number and leaves no remainder. An example of this is 2 is a factor of 4. 15 is not a factor of 5 because it cannot divide evenly. The only factors of 5 are 1 and 5.
