Here we will discuss and show you how to figure out which number is a factor of 72, but not a multiple of 8.
The most common way to determine which number is a factor of 72, but not a multiple of 8, is to simply list the factors of 72 and the multiples of 8 so you can compare the two lists.
The answer to "Which number is a factor of 72, but not a multiple of 8?" would be all the numbers that are on the Factors of 72 list, but not on the Multiples of 8 list.
Factors of 72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72...
Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
Alternatively, you can figure out which number is a factor of 72, but not a multiple of 8, by dividing every factor of 72 by 8. The answer would be all the quotients that are not integers.
