Question

which equation shows that 8 is a factor of 32?

choose 1 answer:

a) \\(32 = 40 - 8\\)

b) \\(32 = 8 \times 4\\)

c) \\(32 = 8 + 24\\)

d) \\(32 = 256 \div 8\\)

Explanation:

Define factor relationship

$$ a = b \times c \implies b \text{ and } c \text{ are factors of } a $$

Apply to given numbers

$$ 32 = 8 \times 4 \implies 8 \text{ is a factor of } 32 $$
