:
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.

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

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

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.

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.
:
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.
:
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.
:
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.
