 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2 and 13
:
A
2 and 13 form a factor pair of 26 as 2×13=26.
1 and 13 form a factor pair of 13 as 1×13=13.
3 and 12 form a factor pair of 36 as 3×12=36.
4 and 6 form a factor pair of 24 as 4×6=24.

  1.     2
  2.     3
  3.     14
  4.     7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 14
:
C

The largest number which can divide 28 and 42 completely is the HCF of the two numbers.


The Largest Number Which Can Divide 28 And 42 Completely Is ...


HCF of 28 and 42
=2×7=14 


Question 23.


The product of two numbers is 228. If their HCF is 12, then what will be their LCM?


  1.     20
  2.     1
  3.     19
  4.     0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 19
:
C

HCF of two numbers × LCM of two numbers = Product of the two numbers
12×LCM=228
LCM =22812=19


Question 24.


The smallest number that is divisible by 2,4,6 is____


  1.     8
  2.     12
  3.     9
  4.     36
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 12
:
B

The smallest number divisible by any 2 or more numbers is their least common multiple (LCM).
The multiples  of 2 : 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 14 .....
The multiples of 4:  4 , 8 , 12 , 16 , 20 ......
The multiples of 6: 6 , 12 , 18 , 24 .........
As you can see, 12 is the smallest multiple that is commom for all 3 numbers.
So, the LCM of 2, 4, 6 = 12


Question 25.


Find the greatest number that divides 3 & 6 exactly.


  1.     1
  2.     3
  3.     6
  4.     12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3
:
B

A number that divides 3 and 6 exactly is a common factor of 3 and 6.
The greatest number that divides 3 and 6 is equal to their Highest Common Factor (HCF).
We need to find the HCF of 3 and 6.
Factors of 3 = 1 , 3
Factors of 6 = 1 , 2 , 3 , 6
The common factors of 3 and 6 are 1 and 3.
The highest common factor of 3 and 6 is 3.
The greatest number that divides 3 and 6 exactly is 3.


Question 26.


In which of the following cases, is the first number a factor of the second number?


  1.     4, 38
  2.     6, 52
  3.     8, 96
  4.     5, 33
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 8, 96
:
C

When 38 is divided by 4, the remainder is 2. So, 4 is not a factor of 38.
When 52 is divided by 6, the remainder is 4. So, 6 is not a factor of 52.
When 33 is divided by 5, the remainder is 3. So, 5 is not a factor of 33.
When 96 is divided by 8 the remainder is 0. So, 8 is a factor of 96.


Question 27.


The ___ of two or more numbers is the least number which is exactly divisible by those numbers.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 8, 96
:

The LCM of two or more numbers is the least number which is exactly divisible by those numbers.                                                       


Example:  LCM of 4 and 6 is 12. So, 12 is the least number which is exactly divisible by 4 and 6.


Question 28.


___ is a factor of every number.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 8, 96
:

One is the common factor for all the numbers.


Each number is divisible by one and the "number itself".


For example, 3 is divisible by both 1 and 3.


Question 29.


The largest 2-digit prime number is ___


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 8, 96
:

Prime numbers are numbers which are divisible by 1 and the "number itself",


So, 3 is a prime number as it is divisible by only 1 and 3.


99 is not a prime number as it is divisible by 1, 9, 11, 99.


98 is also not a prime number as it is divisible by 1, 2, 7, 49, 98.


The largest 2-digit prime number is 97, as it is divisible only by 1 and 97.


Question 30.


Manu goes to dance class once in every 6 days, to karate class once in every 12 days and to art classes once in every 18 days. He attends all the three classes on 1st of April. On which day, will he attend all the 3 classes again?

  2.     7th May
  3.     1st May
  4.     21st April
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 7th May
:
B

He will go to all the 3 classes on the day which is LCM of 6, 12, 18.
Manu Goes To Dance Class Once In Every 6 Days, To Karate Cla...
LCM =2×3×2×3=36
If he attends all the three classes on 1st of April, then he will attend all the three classes after 36 days which is 7th May.
