Here we will discuss and show you how to figure out which number is a factor of 27, but not a multiple of 12.
The most common way to determine which number is a factor of 27, but not a multiple of 12, is to simply list the factors of 27 and the multiples of 12 so you can compare the two lists.
The answer to "Which number is a factor of 27, but not a multiple of 12?" would be all the numbers that are on the Factors of 27 list, but not on the Multiples of 12 list.
Factors of 27: 1, 3, 9, 27
Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60...
Answer: 1, 3, 9, 27
Alternatively, you can figure out which number is a factor of 27, but not a multiple of 12, by dividing every factor of 27 by 12. The answer would be all the quotients that are not integers.
