Cassie wrote the division equation.
44 ÷ 8 = 5.5
what does this show about the number 44?
it shows that 8 is not a factor of 44.
it shows that 8 is a factor of 44.
it shows that 44 has no multiples.
it shows that 44 has 8 multiples.

Hence, it shows that 8 is not a factor of 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cassie wrote te division equation:

The equation shows that the quotient of 44 divided by 8 is 5.5.

Since the quotient is a decimal, so we can say that 8 does not completely divide 44. This is because when the quotient of any two numbers is a decimal number then this means that the divisor does not divide the number completely and thus leaving a remainder.  

If 8 had been a factor of 44 then the quotient would have been a whole number as factor of a particular number are those numbers which divide that particular number completely without leaving any remainder.

Hence, it shows that 8 is not a factor of 44.
