Question 1
Find the LCM of 12, 16, 24 and 36?

Answer

$12= 2 \times 2 \times 3$
$16 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2$
$24 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3$
$36= 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3$
LCM = $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 =144$


Question 2
Find the HCF of 70, 105, 175

Answer

$70 = 2 \times 5 \times 7$
$105 = 3 \times 7 \times 5$
$175 = 5 \times 5 \times 7$
HCF =$5 \times 7 =35$


Question 3
What are twin primes? Give four examples

Answer

Two prime numbers whose difference is 2 are called twin primes.
For example:

3 and 5 are twin primes
5 and 7 are twin primes


Question 4
What is a prime triplet? Give an example.

Answer

A prime triplet is a set of three prime numbers of the form:

(p,p+2,p+6) or (p,p+4,p+6)

Some Examples are (5, 7, 11), (7, 11, 13), (11, 13, 17)


Question 5
Arrange the prime factors of 1350 in descending order.

Answer

$1350 = 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5 \times 5$

LCM =12240 cm


Question 9
Find the least number which when divided by 12, 16 ,24 and 36 leaves a remainder 7 in each case.

Answer

LCM of 12,16,24 and 36 =144
Least Number = 144 + 7 = 151


Question 10
Find the multiples of 11 which is greater than 56 but less than 79

Answer

Multiples of 11 = 11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88

So multiples greater than 56 but less than 79 are 66 and 77
