Why is 48 a factor of 8?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, 48 is a factor of 8 because, like, 48 can be divided evenly into 8. It's like when you have a Pizza and you can cut it into 8 slices, and then you can cut those slices into 48 tiny pieces. So, yeah, 48 fits nicely into 8 without any leftovers.

Answer 2

This is a terminology issue. 48 is not a factor of 8. 48 is a multiple of 8 and 8 is a factor of 48.

Answer 3

The question cannot be answered because it is based on a false premise: 48 is NOT a factor of 8.
