Question 13 Marks
Find the smallest four digit number which is divisible by $18, 24$ and $32.$
Answer

$\therefore L.C.M. = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 = 288.$
Multiples of $288$ are :
$288 \times 1 = 288, 288 \times 2 = 576, 288 \times 3 = 864, 288 \times 4 = 1152, ......$
Hence, the smallest four-digit number which is divisible by $18, 24$ and $32$ is $1152.$

Question 183 Marks
Determine, if $25110$ is divisible by $45.$
[Hint: $5$ and $9$ are co-prime numbers. Test the divisibility of the number by $5$ and $9]$
Answer
Divisibility of $25110$ by $5.$
$ \because$ Number in the unit's place of $25110 = 0$
$ \therefore 25110$ is divisible by $5.$
Divisibility of $25110$ by $9.$
Sum of the digits of the number $25110.$
$= 2 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 0 = 9.$
$\because 9$ is divisible by $9.$
$\therefore 25110$ is divisible by $9.$
As $25110$ is divisible by $5$ and $9$ both and $5$ and $9$ are co-prime numbers, so $25110$ is divisible by $5 × 9 = 45.$

Question 193 Marks
The product of three consecutive numbers is always divisible by $6$. Verify this statement with the help of some examples.
Answer
Let the three consecutive numbers be n, $(n + 1), ( n + 2).$
The product of these numbers be $n(n + 1)(n + 2).$
We know that the product of three consecutive numbers is always divisible by $3.$
Out of the three consecutive numbers, one will be even. Which means the product is also divisible by $2.$
Hence the product of three consecutive numbers is divisible by $3$ and $2.$
Therefore the product of three consecutive numbers is also divisible by $6.$
$Ex.1$: Take three consecutive number $21, 22$ and $23.$
$21$ is divisible by $3.$
$22$ is divisible by $2.$
$ \therefore 21 \times 22$ is divisible by $3 \times 2 (= 6)$
$ \therefore 21 \times 22 \times 23$ is divisible by $6.$
$Ex.2$: Take three consecutive numbers $47, 48$ and $49.$
$48$ is divisible by $2$ and $3$ both.
$\therefore 48$ is divisible by $2 \times 3 = 6$
$ \therefore 47 \times 48 \times 49$ is divisible by $6.$

Question 203 Marks
Here are two different factor trees for $60$. Write the missing numbers.
Answer
Lets 'a' be the missing number in the given pattern
So, we have
$2 \times a = 6$
$ \Rightarrow a = \frac{6}{2} = 3$
$ \Rightarrow a = 3$
So, $2 \times 3 = 6 And 5 \times a = 10$
$ \Rightarrow a = \frac{10}{5} = 2$
$ \Rightarrow 5 \times 2 = 10$
Missing numbers are $3$ and $2.$

Question 213 Marks
Find the $LCM$ of $24$ and $90.$
Answer
Clearly, The prime factorizations of $24$ and $90$ are:
$24 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3$
$90 = 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5$
In the above prime factorizations the maximum number of times the prime factor $2$ occurs is three for $24.$ Similarly, the maximum number of times the prime factor $3$ occurs is two for $90.$
The prime factor $5$ occurs only once in $90.$
Therefore, $LCM$ of $24$ and $90 = (2 \times 2 \times 2) \times (3 \times 3) \times 5 = 360$

Question 263 Marks
Find the $LCM$ of $40, 48$ and $45.$
Answer
The prime factorizations of $40, 48$ and $45$ are given as follows:
$40 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5$
$48 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3$
$45 = 3 × 3 × 5$
The prime factor $2$ appears maximum number of times which is four, in the prime factorisation of $48$, the prime factor $3$ occurs maximum number of two times in the prime factorisation of $45$, The prime factor $5$ appears one time in the prime factorisations of 40 and $45,$ we take it only once.
Therefore, we have required $LCM = (2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2) \times (3 \times 3) \times 5 = 720$
