  3.     22, 48
  4.     24, 36
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 7, 15
:
B

If any two numbers Highest Common Factor is 1, then they are called co-prime to each other.
HCF of 12 and 15 is 3
HCF of 7 and 15 is 1
HCF of 22 and 48 is 2
HCF of 24 and 36 is 12
Therefore 7, 15 is a pair of co-prime numbers since they have an HCF of 1.


Question 22.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 7, 15
:

Prime factorization is finding the factors of a number that are all prime. The prime factors of 15 are 3 and 5.


Question 23.


Which of the following is a factor pair of 24?


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


All the multiples of 9 are also the multiples of ___


  1.     5
  2.     3
  3.     7
  4.     6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3
:
B

9=3×3
9 is a multiple of 3
Hence any multiple of 9 will also be a multiple of 3.


Question 25.


The difference between the largest factor and the smallest factor of 100 is ___


  1.     99
  2.     48
  3.     49
  4.     100
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 99
:
A

The smallest factor of any number is 1 and the highest factor of any number is the number itself.
Therefore, the difference between the highest and the smallest factor of 100 is, 1001=99


Question 26.


72 books were arranged equally on 8 shelves. How many books are there on each shelf?


  1.     18
  2.     9
  3.     8
  4.     72
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 9
:
B

Number of books = 72
Number of shelves = 8
Therefore, books on each shelf = 72 divided by 8  = 9


Question 27.

  1.     1
  2.     10
  3.     Finite
  4.     Infinite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Infinite
:
D

To get multiples of any number, we multiply counting numbers with that number.
Since there are infinite counting numbers, multiples of any number are also infinite.


Question 28.


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 29.


What is the least number that is exactly divisible by 15, 10 and 16?
