Please help me with this math question. I am asked to show my work but I don't know how to solve the problem to show my work. The question is: Choose the correct list of factors of the number 8. Again, I have to show my work with this question. Please help thank you.
Just keep dividing 8 by prime numbers until you can't do it any more.
8 = 2*4 = 2*(2*2) = 2*2*2
the answer is:
1,2,4,8
jkjk lmao i just wanted 2 say sumthin srry :/
Nichole's answer is correct if all they want is the integers that can be divided into 8 evenly.
14.5 ft to meters
Of course! I can help you solve this math question and show your work.
To find the factors of a number, we need to identify the numbers that divide evenly into that number without leaving a remainder. In this case, we need to find the factors of the number 8.
One way to find the factors is to divide 8 by different numbers and check if the division is exact. We start by dividing 8 by 1:
8 ÷ 1 = 8
Since the division is exact, 1 is a factor of 8. We also need to consider if 8 is a factor of itself:
8 ÷ 8 = 1
So, 8 is a factor of 8 as well.
Now we can continue checking if any other numbers divide evenly into 8. We try dividing by 2:
8 ÷ 2 = 4
Again, the division is exact, so 2 is a factor of 8. We also need to consider if 4 is a factor of 8:
8 ÷ 4 = 2
So, 4 is a factor of 8 as well.
Finally, we try dividing 8 by 3 and any higher numbers. However, because 8 is a small number, it is clear that 3 and higher numbers will not divide evenly into 8 without leaving a remainder.
Therefore, the list of factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4, and 8.
To show your work, you can write down the division calculations and highlight the factors:
8 ÷ 1 = 8 (1 is a factor)
8 ÷ 2 = 4 (2 is a factor)
8 ÷ 3 = 2 (3 is not a factor)
8 ÷ 4 = 2 (4 is a factor)
8 ÷ 5 = 1 (5 is not a factor)
8 ÷ 6 = 1 (6 is not a factor)
8 ÷ 7 = 1 (7 is not a factor)
8 ÷ 8 = 1 (8 is a factor)
So, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
