Factors are the mirror image of multiples: they divide into 42 exactly, rather than being built from it. The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42.
Written as pairs: 1 × 42, 2 × 21, 3 × 14, 6 × 7.
Broken all the way down into primes, 42 = 2 × 3 × 7.
The lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that appears in both of their multiplication tables. Here is 42 paired with the numbers it is most often compared to.
| Pair | LCM | Greatest common factor | Next common multiple |
|---|---|---|---|
| 42 and 2 | 42 | 2 | 84 |
| 42 and 3 | 42 | 3 | 84 |
| 42 and 4 | 84 | 2 | 168 |
| 42 and 5 | 210 | 1 | 420 |
| 42 and 6 | 42 | 6 | 84 |
Start at 42 and keep adding 42. That gives 42, 84, 126, 168, 210, and the pattern continues for as long as you want to go. Multiplying is simply a shortcut for the same thing: 42 × 7 = 294 saves you counting seven hops one at a time.
Because 42 is even, every one of its multiples is even too — you will never find an odd number in this table.
The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, then back to the start. Spotting that cycle is a fast way to rule out a wrong answer.
The multiples of 42 are 42, 84, 126, 168, 210, 252, 294, 336, 378, 420, and so on. Each one is 42 multiplied by a whole number, so the list continues without end.
There are 2 multiples of 42 between 1 and 100: 42, 84.
There are 23 multiples of 42 below 1,000. They run from 42 up to 966.
