Here we will discuss and show you how to figure out which number is a factor of 5, but not a multiple of 72.
The most common way to determine which number is a factor of 5, but not a multiple of 72, is to simply list the factors of 5 and the multiples of 72 so you can compare the two lists.
The answer to "Which number is a factor of 5, but not a multiple of 72?" would be all the numbers that are on the Factors of 5 list, but not on the Multiples of 72 list.
Factors of 5: 1, 5
Multiples of 72: 72, 144, 216, 288, 360...
Answer: 1, 5
Alternatively, you can figure out which number is a factor of 5, but not a multiple of 72, by dividing every factor of 5 by 72. The answer would be all the quotients that are not integers.
