Answer key · Factors and multiples
1. 54
A multiple of 9 is in the 9 times table: 9 × a whole number.
Check each choice by dividing by 9: only one divides exactly.
9 × 6 = 54, so 54 is the multiple of 9.
2. 144
A multiple of 12 is in the 12 times table: 12 × a whole number.
Check each choice by dividing by 12: only one divides exactly.
12 × 12 = 144, so 144 is the multiple of 12.
3. 108
A multiple of 12 is in the 12 times table: 12 × a whole number.
Check each choice by dividing by 12: only one divides exactly.
12 × 9 = 108, so 108 is the multiple of 12.
4. 88
A multiple of 8 is in the 8 times table: 8 × a whole number.
Check each choice by dividing by 8: only one divides exactly.
8 × 11 = 88, so 88 is the multiple of 8.
5. 54
A multiple of 6 is in the 6 times table: 6 × a whole number.
Check each choice by dividing by 6: only one divides exactly.
6 × 9 = 54, so 54 is the multiple of 6.
