Here we will discuss and show you how to figure out which number is a factor of 12, but not a multiple of 4.
The most common way to determine which number is a factor of 12, but not a multiple of 4, is to simply list the factors of 12 and the multiples of 4 so you can compare the two lists.
The answer to "Which number is a factor of 12, but not a multiple of 4?" would be all the numbers that are on the Factors of 12 list, but not on the Multiples of 4 list.
Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20...
Answer: 1, 2, 3, 6
Alternatively, you can figure out which number is a factor of 12, but not a multiple of 4, by dividing every factor of 12 by 4. The answer would be all the quotients that are not integers.
