Answer 2

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A multiple of 40 would be something that 40 could multiply into. For example:

40 x 2 = 80

40 x 8 = 320

80 and 320 are multiples of 40.

Instead, 5 is a factor of 40. A factor of 40 can be multiplied by another number to make 40. For example:

2 x 20 = 40

5 x 8 = 40

2 and 5 are factors of 40.
