The multiples of 16 are 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160,…

In math, composite numbers can be defined as the whole numbers that have more than two factors. Whole numbers that are not prime are composite numbers, because they are divisible by more than two numbers.

16 = 1 x 16, 2 x 8, or 4 x 4. Factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. Prime factorization: 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, which can also be written 16 = 2⁴. Since √16 = 4, a whole number, 16 is a perfect square.

Three factors of 16 would be 2,4 and 8.

4 is a factor of 16 because 4 x 4 = 16. Also 1 and 16 are factors of 16 because 1 x 16 = 16. The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
