Real-Life Math FUN! RSA Encryption Times-Tables Factors Multiples Products etc
A very interesting piece of the Real-Life Math puzzle that is the ultimate Back-to-school activity!
This resource is a middle and high school task, with complete key on factors, multiples, products, remainders and divisibility. The math covered is fundamental to RSA encryption, the surprise is, it is actually very easy and can be mastered by any middle or high schooler.
This resource works great as ...
- an assessment exercise
- a task
- independent work
- distance learning
- math stations
- math centers
- homework
- constructive group work when introducing the topic.

Multiplication (Times) Tables, Products, Factors, Multiples, Prime Numbers and Rules for Divisibility form an important part of the RSA Public Key Cryptosystem. It is important that students know (and that teachers always remind them) when they are busy with these topics, that they are learning fundamental mathematics needed to encrypt data and secret messages.
This task, (with key), focuses on ...
Multiplication Tables
Listing Products in a set
Listing all the Factors of an Integer in a set
Listing Multiples of an Integer in a set
The proper notation for Factors, Products and Multiples
The qualities of Prime and Composite Numbers
The Rules of Divisibility of Integers
Exciting News: This task is the first of 7 that will teach students ALL the mathematics they need to be able to do RSA Encryption. You can find them all here.
