Which of the following numbers are divisible by $21?\ 21063$
Answer$21063$ Sum of the digits of the given number $= 2 + 1 + 0 + 6 + 3 = 12$
which is divisible by $3.$
Hence, $21,063$ is divisible by $3.$
Again, a number is divisible by $7$ if the difference between twice the one’s digit and the number formed by the other digits is either $0$ or a multiple of $7.$
$2,106 - (2 \times 3) = 2,100$ which is a multiple of $7.$
Thus, $21,063$ is divisible by $21.$

What are co-primes? Give examples of five of co-primes. Are co-primes always prime? If no, illustrate your answer by an examples.
AnswerTwo numbers are said to be co-primes if they do not have any common factors other than $1.$
For example, $(2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 7)$ and $(13, 17)$ are co-primes.
Two co-primes numbers need not be both prime numbers. e.g., $(3, 4), (6, 7)$ and $(4, 13).$

Which of the following numbers are divisible by $21?\ 20163$
Answer$20163$ Sum of the digits of the given number $= 2 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 = 12$
which is divisible by $3.$
Hence, $20,163$ is divisible by $3.$
Again, a number is divisible by $7$
if the difference between twice the one’s digit and the number formed by the other digits is either $0$ or multiple of $7.$
$2016 - (2 \times 3) = 2010$ which is not a multiple of $7.$
Thus, $20,163$ is not divisible by $21.$
