Here we will discuss and show you how to figure out which number is a factor of 84, but not a multiple of 48.
The most common way to determine which number is a factor of 84, but not a multiple of 48, is to simply list the factors of 84 and the multiples of 48 so you can compare the two lists.
The answer to "Which number is a factor of 84, but not a multiple of 48?" would be all the numbers that are on the Factors of 84 list, but not on the Multiples of 48 list.
Factors of 84: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
Multiples of 48: 48, 96, 144, 192, 240...
Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84
Alternatively, you can figure out which number is a factor of 84, but not a multiple of 48, by dividing every factor of 84 by 48. The answer would be all the quotients that are not integers.
