Question

what does it mean ...determine whether 9 is a factor of each number by dividing the numberby 9

Answer 1

18 = 9 times 2. 9 and 2 are called factors of 18.

18 divided by 9 = 2 which is an integer and there's no remainder so 9 is a factor of 18.

10 divided by 9 = 1 with a remainder of 1. 9 is not a factor of 10.

Answer 2

Ok. So you want to know if 9 is a factor of 372?

Answer 3

talk to me

Answer 4

yeaa

Answer 5

So to see if it is, divide 372 by 9 and see if there is a remainder.

..using long division. It starts here with 40-something because 4x9 = 36 hence we have

12

Answer 7

k
\[372\div9=\]

Answer 8

you finish the division.

Answer 9

so idk how to start

Answer 10

I started the long division for you: surely this looks somewhat familiar, no?

Answer 11

then what

Answer 12

I'm sorry, I don't have the time to teach you long division here. But you'll definitely need to know it to be able to solve problems like this. It will take a while and I have other people waiting for me.
