Help! last minute HW, test is soon and I cant figure this out, this is the last question

Gr8


Andrew and Matthew discuss divisibility. Andrew says, "280 is divisible by 5 and by 8 5 x 8 = 40, so 280 is also divisible by 40." Matthew says, "296 is divisible by 4 and by 8 4 x 8 = 32, so 296 is also divisible by 32." Are both Andrew and Matthew correct? Explain your thinking.

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

280/40=7

280/5=56

280/8=35

269/4=67 1/2

269/8=33 5/8

279/32=8 13/32

All of the following are divisible by the numbers but some of them need to be converted to a whole number with a fraction
