The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "32 is a multiple of 8" is true, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the definition of a multiple A number \( a \) is said to be a multiple of another number \( b \) if there exists an integer \( k \) such that \( a = b \times k \). ### Step 2: Identify the numbers involved In this case, we have: - \( a = 32 \) - \( b = 8 \) ### Step 3: Find an integer \( k \) We need to check if there exists an integer \( k \) such that: \[ 32 = 8 \times k \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( k \) To find \( k \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ k = \frac{32}{8} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( k \) Now, we perform the division: \[ k = \frac{32}{8} = 4 \] ### Step 6: Check if \( k \) is an integer Since \( k = 4 \) is an integer, we conclude that there exists an integer \( k \) such that \( 32 = 8 \times k \). ### Conclusion Since we found an integer \( k \) that satisfies the condition, we can say that: **32 is a multiple of 8. Therefore, the statement is true.** ---
