Math Problem Statement

Which of the integers are multiples of 36? Select all that apply from the following integers: 72, 18, 9, 144, 324, and 12.

Solution

The question asks to identify which of the following integers are multiples of 36 from the given list: 72, 18, 9, 144, 324, and 12.

To check which are multiples of 36:

A number is a multiple of 36 if it is divisible by 36 (i.e., the remainder when divided by 36 is zero).

Let’s check each number:

  • 72 ÷ 36 = 2 → 72 is a multiple of 36.
  • 18 ÷ 36 = 0.5 → 18 is not a multiple of 36.
  • 9 ÷ 36 = 0.25 → 9 is not a multiple of 36.
  • 144 ÷ 36 = 4 → 144 is a multiple of 36.
  • 324 ÷ 36 = 9 → 324 is a multiple of 36.
  • 12 ÷ 36 = 0.333... → 12 is not a multiple of 36.

Conclusion:

The integers that are multiples of 36 are 72, 144, and 324.
