Question

Classify each of the following statements as true or false. If false, tell why. a. 5 is a divisor of 20. b. 10 is a multiple of 20.​

Answer 1

Yes; no

Explanation:

a. If we divide 20 by 5, we get 4. Meaning, both 4 and 5 are divisors of 20.

b. 10 is not a multiple of 20; The multiples of 20 are 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, etc. Multiples only go upwards not down. Nothing plus 20 is equal to 10 therefore 10 is not a multiple of 20. 20 is a multiple of 10 though.
