No. As a general rule, factors cannot be larger than the numbers they are compared to.
60 less than 345 = 345 - 60 = 285
60 x 345 = 20700
60 less than 345 is 285.
To determine if (8a) is a factor of 60, we need to check if 60 can be evenly divided by (8a). Since 60 is not divisible by 8 (as (60 \div 8 = 7.5)), (8a) cannot be a factor of 60 for any value of (a) other than zero. Therefore, (8a) is not a factor of 60.
Because 8 doesn't divide evenly into 60 with no remainder.
Oh, isn't that a happy little question! Yes, 8 is indeed a factor of 60. You see, a factor is a number that can be multiplied to get another number, and when you multiply 8 by 7.5, you get 60. So, just like painting a beautiful landscape, numbers can come together in harmony too.
