• Mrs.Smith, Staffordshire
•  
• Every number is a factor of itself and a multiple of itself, so your totals are incorrect!
• Mr Hand's UR Set, The King's School Worcester
•  
• Actually Mrs Smith, if you read the question properly, you will see the word "other". Thus meaning numbers being factors and multiples of themselves is totally and utterly irrelevant.
  UR Set 7 sincerely hope this clears you misunderstanding.
• Mr Walsh, ASCPS
•  
• Aside form the other listed factors, surely 10 is not only a factor of 40, but also a factor of 20? Is that too simple?
• Transum,
•  
• How many people are caught out when a number is repeated in the grid above (different numbers appear each time the page is refreshed)? So for example if 47 appears twice you can count both of them as being factors of other numbers in the grid because the first 47 is a factor of the second 47 and the second is a factor of the first!
• Mrs S, St Albans
•  
• Shouldn't the number of factors and the number of multiples be the same? If A is a factor of B then B is a multiple of A, and vice versa.
• St Nicolas Junior School, Newbury, Year 5
•  
• We like the way the maths is set out however
  we found more answers than your listed ones.
