Here we will discuss and show you how to figure out which number is a factor of 21, but not a multiple of 87.
The most common way to determine which number is a factor of 21, but not a multiple of 87, is to simply list the factors of 21 and the multiples of 87 so you can compare the two lists.
The answer to "Which number is a factor of 21, but not a multiple of 87?" would be all the numbers that are on the Factors of 21 list, but not on the Multiples of 87 list.
Factors of 21: 1, 3, 7, 21
Multiples of 87: 87, 174, 261, 348, 435...
Answer: 1, 3, 7, 21
Alternatively, you can figure out which number is a factor of 21, but not a multiple of 87, by dividing every factor of 21 by 87. The answer would be all the quotients that are not integers.
