Let\u2019s break down what these terms mean and how they apply to the number 10 and the number 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>factor<\/strong> of a number is any whole number that divides evenly into that number without leaving a remainder. For example, the factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, and 10. This means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 \u00d7 10 = 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 \u00d7 5 = 10<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, 1, 2, 5, and 10 are all factors of 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>multiple<\/strong> of a number is the result of multiplying that number by another whole number. The first few multiples of 5 are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 \u00d7 1 = 5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 \u00d7 2 = 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 \u00d7 3 = 15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and so on<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So the multiples of 5 include 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and so on. These numbers can be formed by multiplying 5 by other whole numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question asks for a number that is a <strong>factor of 10<\/strong> but <strong>not a multiple of 5<\/strong>. Let\u2019s examine each factor of 10:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 is a factor of 10 but not a multiple of 5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 is a factor of 10 but not a multiple of 5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 is a factor of 10 and is also a multiple of 5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 is a factor of 10 and also a multiple of 5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we are asked to find a number that satisfies <strong>both conditions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It must be a factor of 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It must <strong>not<\/strong> be a multiple of 5<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the list above, the number that meets both conditions is <strong>2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It divides evenly into 10, so it is a factor. However, it cannot be formed by multiplying 5 with any whole number. Therefore, <strong>2<\/strong> is the correct answer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-695.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-695.jpeg 852w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-695-250x300.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-695-768x923.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which number is a factor of 10, but not a multiple of 5?
