Can a body of larger mass be hotter than another body of smaller mass if they are at the same temperature?

No. "Temperature" means "how hot it is".
(The larger mass could have more or less heat energy in it, though.
Even if they're both at the same temperature.)

Which is larger 10 degrees Fahrenheit or 40 degrees Celsius?
40 C is a hotter temperature.
Why do stars with smaller masses burn longer than stars with larger masses?
Stars with larger masses have stronger gravity; this results in more pressure; which in turn makes the star hotter. As a result of the higher temperature, they will shine brighter, and burn their fuel much faster.
How does the HR diagram explain why some smaller cooler stars are brighter than larger hotter stars?
In terms of absolute magnitude, a larger hotter star will necessarily be more luminous than a smaller cooler star. However, if a smaller cooler star is much closer to us than a larger hotter star, it may appear to be brighter. None of this has anything to do with the HR diagram.
How can you test to determine whether a number is a factor of another number?
Divide the larger number by the smaller. If the result has no remainder (no decimal) then the smaller number is a factor of the larger.
What is it called when one number can be divided by another and the result is an exact whole number?
The smaller number is a factor of the larger number, and the larger number is a multiple of the smaller.
How do you calculate decimal range of temperature?
You record the temperatures as decimal numbers and subtract the smaller from the larger.
How can you determine whether one number is a factor of another?
Divide the smaller into the larger. If the quotient is an integer, the smaller is a factor of the larger.
Is Saturn bigger or smaller than another object in space?
It is smaller than some and larger than others.
If one angle of a triangle is larger than another angle then the side opposite the larger angle is?
the smaller side
Are giants hotter than white dwarfs?
Red giants are not hotter than white dwarfs. While red giants are much larger and burn more fuel, white dwarfs burn at a higher temperature.
Is 23 degrees colder or hotter than 70 degrees farenhight?
In all temperature scales currently used, larger numbers represent higher temperatures (hotter).
What is smaller when its larger and larger when its smaller?
Negative Numbers.
