Question

Tell whether 24 is a factor or multiple of the number 6, 36, 48.

Answer 1

24 is a multiple of 6.
24 is a factor of 48.
24 is neither a multiple nor a factor of 36.

Answer 2

Answer

Find out the 24 is a factor or multiple of the number 6, 36, 48.

To prove

Definition of factors.

Factors are what we can multiply to get the number.

thus

48 = 24 × 2

Therefore 24 is the factor of the number 48.

Definition of multiple

Multiples are what we get after multiplying the number by an integer (not by the fraction).

thus

24 = 6 × 4

Therefore 6 is the multiple of the 24.

Now 24 is neither a factor or multiple of the number 36 .

(it neither satisfied the definition of the factor nor the multiple definition.)
