1. Find the HCF of the positive integers 455 and 42 with the help of the division algorithm.
[Ans. 7]
2. Find the HCF of 37728 and 12156 by division algorithm method.
[Ans.12]
3. Using division algorithm, find the largest number which divides the three numbers 120, 224,
256.
[Ans. 8]
4. A bookseller purchased 117 books out of which 45 books are of mathematics and the
remaining 72 books are of physics. Each book has same size. Mathematics and physics
books are to be packed in separate bundles and must contain same number of books. Find
the least number of bundles which can be made for these 117 books.
[Ans. 13]
5. Show that every positive even integer is of the form 2 q, and that every positive odd integer is
of the 2q + 1, where q is a whole number.
6. Show that any positive even integer is of the form 4 q or 4q + 2, where q is a whole number.
[Ans. A = 4q or a = 4q +2]
7. Sandeep donated 75 glucose biscuits and 45 Monaco biscuit to the students of a class. These
are to be packed in identical packets. The two type of biscuits are to be packed separately
and each containing the equal number of biscuits. Find the lest number of packets which can
be made for the two type and also the number of biscuits in each packet.
8. 96 books of English, 240 books of Hindi and 336 books of mathematics have to be packed in
bundles when each bundle must contain equal number of book of one subject out of the three
subjects. Find the largest number of books which can be packed in each bundle. Also find
the lest number of bundle which can be made.
[Ans. 48 books; 14 bundles]
9. Show that 17 x 41 x 43 x 61 + 43 is a composite number.
10. Find the LCM and HCF of 42 and 72 by the prime factorization method (i. e., by
Fundamental theorem of Arithmetic).
[Ans. HCF = 6 & LCM = 504]
11. Find the HCF of 12576 and 4052 by using the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic (i. e.,
prime factorization method). Hence find the LCM of the numbers.
[Ans. HCF = 5 & LCM = 2400]
