1.3 The Product Game: Finding Multiples
The product of a given whole number and another whole number
multiple
is called a _________________.
Example: What are the multiples of 4?
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36…
In the product game, one paperclip is on 7. What products can you
make by moving the other?
any multiple of 7
Factors & multiples are related.
12
12
________ is a multiple of 3, so 3 is a factor of________
You Try: Use 24 & 6 to show how factors & multiples are related.
24 is a multiple of 6, so 6 is a factor of 24
A number that results from the product of a number & itself is called a
square

Problem 1.3 Study Guide
 If you place both paperclips on the same number when
square #
playing The Product Game, the result is a __________________.
(1 x 1, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, etc.)
 The most difficult squares on the board to mark are 1, 25, 49,
and 81 because there is only one factor pair to obtain those
products.
 Comparing The Factor Game and The Product Game:
Factor Game
o In the _________________________, you start with a
number and find all of its factors. So this number is a
multiple of each of the numbers that are factors.
Product Game you start with two
o In the ________________________,
factors and find the product of the two factors. The
product is also a multiple of each of the factors.
