Answers
(1) 11
Step 1
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and
itself. We also know that even numbers are not prime numbers.
Step 2
The smallest 2 digit number is 10. We know 10 is divisible by 1, 2 and itself.
Next, we check for next odd two digit number, which is 11. 11 is divisible by 1 and itself only.
Step 3
Therefore, the smallest two digit prime number is 11.
(2) 73
Step 1
A prime number is a whole number greater than 1, which is not divisible by any number except 1
and itself.
Step 2
Let us check the nearest number more than 72, which is not divisible by any number except 1 and
itself.
Step 3
The nearest number more than 72, which is not divisible by any number except 1 and itself is 73.
Step 4
Hence, the smallest prime number more than 72 is 73.

(5) 20
Step 1
Given, the LCM of two numbers is 240 and the HCF is 4.
Step 2
We know that the product of any two numbers is equal to the product of their LCM and HCF.
So, First Number × Second Number = HCF of the numbers × LCM of the numbers
Step 3
Now, one of the numbers is 48. Let us assume that the other number is b. Then:
48 × b = 240 × 4
⇒ 48 × b = 960
960
⇒b=
48
⇒ b = 20
Step 4
Therefore, if the LCM of two numbers is 240 and one of the numbers is 48 then the other number
is 20.
(6) 89712, 90216
Step 1
Let us first find the smallest number that is exactly divisible by the numbers 6, 4, 9, 8, 2, 3 and 7.
This number will be the LCM of the numbers 6, 4, 9, 8, 2, 3 and 7.
Step 2
Let us find the LCM of 6, 4, 9, 8, 2, 3 and 7:
2 | 9, 8, 7, 6, 4, 3, 2
2 | 9, 4, 7, 3, 2, 3, 1

3 | 9, 1, 7, 3, 1, 3, 1
3 | 3, 1, 7, 1, 1, 1, 1
7 | 1, 1, 7, 1, 1, 1, 1
| 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
The LCM is = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 = 504
Step 3
Now, the other numbers that are exactly divisible by 6, 4, 9, 8, 2, 3 and 7 will have to be the
multiples of their LCM. So, we will have to find the multiples of 504 that are nearest to 90000.
Step 4
On dividing 90000 by 504, we get a remainder of 288. Hence either 90000 - 288 = 89712 and
90000 - 288 + 504 = 90216, both will be divisible by 504.
Step 5
Hence, the required numbers are 89712 and 90216.

The LCM is = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 3360.
(8) 5678
Step 1
Prime factorization of a number is the process of determining the prime numbers which, when
multiplied together will give the original number.
Step 2
We see that 167, 17 and 2 are all prime numbers.
Step 3
Multiplying the three factor together:
167 × 17 × 2 = 5678
Step 4
Thus, we can say that 167 × 17 × 2 is the prime factorization of 5678.
Step 5
In order to verify our answer, let us find the prime factorization of 5678 using the standard method
as below:
2 | 5678
17 | 2839
167 | 167
Step 6
Thus, 167 × 17 × 2 is the prime factorization of 5678.
(9) c. Co-prime
We know that co-prime numbers are the numbers that have their highest common factor as 1.
e.g. 14 and 15, both of them have no other common factor except 1.
(10) b. LCM and HCF
Step 1
Let us consider two random numbers 4 and 6. Their HCF is equal to 2 and LCM is 12.
Step 2
The product of these numbers is 4 × 6 = 24, and the product of their HCF and LCM is equal to 2 ×
12 = 24.
Step 3
Therefore, we observe that the product of any two numbers is equal to the product of their HCF
and LCM.
A×B
(11) a.
Y
Step 1
We know that if A and B are two given numbers, their product is equal to the product of their LCM
and HCF. That is:
A × B = LCM of A and B × HCF of A and B
or, A × B = Y × HCF
A×B
Therefore, HCF =
Y
Step 2
A×B
Hence, the HCF of the two numbers is .
Y
(12) d. All of these
Step 1
If we divide the given numbers by 9, we see that:
36
= 4, so 36 is a multiple of 9.
9
45
9
54
9
Step 2
We can see that all of the given options are multiples of 9. Hence, the correct option is all of
these.
(13) 100
Let us find the LCM of 20 and 50.

2 | 50, 20
2 | 25, 10
5 | 25, 5
5 | 5, 1
| 1, 1
The LCM is = 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 = 100.
(14) 100000000
Step 1
If we subtract 1 from the 9-digit number 100000000, the answer we get is 99999999, which is a 8-
digit number.
Step 2
Thus, the smallest 9-digit number is 100000000.
(15) 360
Let us find the LCM of 40 and 36:

2 | 40, 36
2 | 20, 18
2 | 10, 9
3 | 5, 9
3 | 5, 3
5 | 5, 1
| 1, 1
The LCM is = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 360
