PLAYING WITH NUMBERS MCQs
:
A
Prime factorisation is expressing a number as the product of its prime factors.
60 = 2 x 30
= 2 x 2 x 15
= 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
(2, 3 and 5 are prime numbers)
Hence, the prime factorisation of 60 is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5.
:
C
Factors of 45 = 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45
Factors of 81 = 1, 3, 9, 27, 81
Factors of 27 = 1, 3, 9, 27
∴ The common factors of 45, 81 and 27 are 1, 3 and 9.
So, the H.C.F of 45, 81 and 27 = 9.

D
On simplification of the given expression, we get that
3 × 3 × 11 × 101 = 9999.
We can observe that it is the greatest 4 digit number.
Also, we can see that this is an odd number.
:
B
Numbers, which do not have any common factor between them other than one, are called co-prime numbers.
For example, 3 and 7 are co-prime numbers. They only have 1 as a common factor.
:
B
It is given that LCM = 12; HCF=2
Product of 2 numbers = HCF × LCM of the respective numbers
⇒ 6 × the other number = 12 × 2
⇒ 6 × the other number = 24
⇒the other number = 246 = 4
Hence, the other number = 4
:
A
Prime numbers have only two factors 1 and the number itself.
Hence, LCM of two prime numbers is always the product of the two numbers.
For example, LCM of 3 and 5 = 3 × 5 = 15
Similarly, LCM of 7 and 11 = 7 × 11 = 77
:
A
Multiples of 90 will be 90, 180, ...... and
Multiples of 1 will be 1, 2, 3...90 and so on.
From the above, we can say that, the least common multiple of 1 and 90 will be 90.
The L.C.M. of 1 and any other number, say 'x' is always 'x'.
