Question

Frank listed the multiples of 48 as 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16 and 24. Is he correct? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16 and 24 are the factors of 48.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Multiples of 48 are 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, and so on.

For example:

5 × 2 = 10

Here 5 and 2 are the factors of 10 and 10 is the multiple of 5 and 2.

Therefore, 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16 and 24 are the factors of 48 not multiples.
