Question

8) Find out whether the first number is a factor of the second number,
a) 8,140

​

Answer 1

Answer:

No, 8 is not a factor of 140.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a simple method to check if one number is a factor of another number. Take the number whose factor you want to check (in this case 140), and divide it by the number that is being checked against (in this case 8) and divide them.

If the quotient is a whole number, then that number is a factor of the bigger number.

$140, \:8\\\frac{140}{8} = 17.5$

17.5 is not a whole number because it has a decimal point.

Therefore, 8 is not a factor of 140.
