Answer:
2, 7, 15, 19, 34
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to know what a multiple is. A multiple is a number (n) that can be evenly divided by a certain base number (b). An evenly divided number is one that has no decimal points (ex: 1, 100, 24). For example, the multiples of 8 (b) would be 16, 24, 32, etc (n). Another example would be that 32 is a multiple of 2, 8, 16, etc. since it can be evenly divided by those numbers.
In this case, n = each of the numbers in that list, while b = 4. So now we just have to look at what numbers in our list can be evenly divided by 4.
- 2 is not a multiple since it cannot be evenly divided by 4, since it is less than 4.
- 4 is a multiple of 4, since 4/4 = 1, and 1 is evenly divided.
- 7 cannot be evenly divided by 4, and thus is not a multiple of 4.
- 8 can be evenly divided by 4, since 8/4 = 2, and thus is a multiple of 4.
- 12 can be evenly divided by 4, since 12/4 = 3, and thus is a multiple of 4
- 15 cannot be evenly divided by 4, and thus is not a multiple of 4
- 19 cannot be evenly divided by 4, and thus is not a multiple of 4.
- 24 can be evenly divided by 4, since 24/4 = 6, and thus is a multiple of 4.
- 34 cannot be evenly divided by 4, and thus is not a multiple of 4
Since we're asked to find the numbers that are <em>not</em> multiples of 4, our answer to the question would be:
2, 7, 15, 19, 34
