- A.
6
- B.
8
- C.
10
- D.
3
Correct Answer
B. 8Explanation
The number 8 is the least number that has both 2 and 4 as factors. This is because 8 can be divided evenly by both 2 and 4. In other words, 8 is divisible by 2 and 4 without leaving any remainder. The other options, 6, 10, and 3, do not have both 2 and 4 as factors, making 8 the correct answer.Rate this question:
