Arjun Desai answered |
A prime number must have exactly two factors (1 and itself). Therefore, the number 2 is the lowest prime number as its only common divisors are 1 and 2. The number 1 only has 1 common divisor so it cannot be a prime number.

For 7 consecutive composite numbers, there should be 2 prime numbers with atleast a difference of 8. And that's possible only between 89 and 97.
So the numbers are 90,91,92,93,94,95,96.
So the numbers are 90,91,92,93,94,95,96.

Amit Sharma answered |
Whole numbers are divisible by 4 if the number formed by the last two individual digits is evenly divisible by 4.
For example, the number formed by the last two digits of the number 3628 is 28, which is evenly divisible by 4 so the number 3628 is evenly divisible by 4.

Aman Choudhury answered |
The correct answer is option 'C': multiple.
Explanation:
To understand why the correct answer is 'multiple', let's first define what a multiple is. A multiple of a number is the result of multiplying that number by an integer (whole number). For example, the multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and so on.
Now, let's consider the given statement: "Every ______ of a number is greater than or equal to that number." This statement implies that whatever fills the blank, it should be something that, when multiplied by a number, the result is greater than or equal to the original number.
Let's consider the options provided:
a) Factor: A factor of a number is a whole number that divides the given number without leaving a remainder. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. However, if we multiply a number by one of its factors, the result may or may not be greater than the original number. For instance, if we multiply 12 by 2, we get 24, which is greater than 12, but if we multiply 12 by 3, we get 36, which is greater than 12. Therefore, a factor is not always greater than or equal to the original number.
b) Number: This option is incorrect because it is too broad. The statement is already referring to a number, so it doesn't provide any additional information.
c) Multiple: A multiple of a number, as mentioned earlier, is obtained by multiplying the number by an integer. Since we are multiplying the number, the resulting multiple will always be greater than or equal to the original number. For example, if we multiply 5 by 2, we get 10, which is greater than 5. Similarly, if we multiply 5 by 1, we get 5, which is equal to the original number. Therefore, every multiple of a number is greater than or equal to that number.
d) None of these: This option is incorrect because the correct answer is 'C' - multiple.
In conclusion, the correct answer is 'C' - multiple because every multiple of a number is greater than or equal to that number.

Similarly, if we multiply 5 by 1, we get 5, which is equal to the original number. Therefore, every multiple of a number is greater than or equal to that number.
d) None of these: This option is incorrect because the correct answer is 'C' - multiple.
In conclusion, the correct answer is 'C' - multiple because every multiple of a number is greater than or equal to that number.

Maya Mehta answered |
To determine the numbers by which a given number will be divisible, we need to consider the factors of that number. In this case, we are given that the number is divisible by 12.
Factors of 12:
The factors of 12 are the numbers that divide 12 without leaving a remainder. These factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
Divisibility by 3:
To determine if a number is divisible by 3, we need to check if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. In the case of 12, the sum of its digits (1 + 2) is 3, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 12 is divisible by 3.
Divisibility by 4:
To determine if a number is divisible by 4, we need to check if the last two digits form a number that is divisible by 4. In the case of 12, the last two digits are 12 itself, which is divisible by 4. Therefore, 12 is divisible by 4.
So, the numbers by which 12 will be divisible are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
Out of the given options, the correct answer is option 'D' (3 and 4) because both 3 and 4 are factors of 12.

So, the numbers by which 12 will be divisible are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
Out of the given options, the correct answer is option 'D' (3 and 4) because both 3 and 4 are factors of 12.

3 is a prime number because it has only two distinct divisors: 1 and itself (3).
As a consequence, 3 is only a multiple of 1 and 3..
Since 3 is a prime number, 3 is also a deficient number, that is to say 3 is a natural integer that is strictly larger than the sum of its proper divisors, i.e., the divisors of 3 without 3 itself (that is 1, by definition!).

Solution:
To understand the solution, we need to know the divisibility rules of 6.
Divisibility Rule of 6: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
Now, let us consider each option one by one.
a) 3 and 4: If a number is divisible by 3 and 4, it doesn't mean that it is divisible by 6. For example, the number 12 is divisible by 3 and 4, but it is also divisible by 6. However, the number 8 is divisible by 4 but not by 6. Hence, option a) is incorrect.
b) 2 and 5: If a number is divisible by 2 and 5, it doesn't mean that it is divisible by 6. For example, the number 10 is divisible by 2 and 5, but it is not divisible by 6. Hence, option b) is incorrect.
c) 2 and 3: According to the divisibility rule of 6, if a number is divisible by 2 and 3, it is also divisible by 6. Hence, option c) is correct.
d) None of these: Since option c) is correct, option d) is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct option is c) 2 and 3.

b) 2 and 5: If a number is divisible by 2 and 5, it doesn't mean that it is divisible by 6. For example, the number 10 is divisible by 2 and 5, but it is not divisible by 6. Hence, option b) is incorrect.
c) 2 and 3: According to the divisibility rule of 6, if a number is divisible by 2 and 3, it is also divisible by 6. Hence, option c) is correct.
d) None of these: Since option c) is correct, option d) is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct option is c) 2 and 3.

Headway Institute answered |
The smallest prime number that is even is 2. A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
2 is the only even prime number because every other even number is divisible by 2, which means they have more divisors than just 1 and themselves, making them composite.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: 2.

Ishan Choudhury answered |
The prime factorization of 36 is: 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
The prime factorization of 72 is: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Eliminate the duplicate factors of the two lists, then multiply them once with the remaining factors of the lists to get LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72

Geetika Shah answered |
Factors of a number are defined as numbers or algebraic expressions that divide a given number/expression evenly. We can also say, factors are the numbers which are multiplied to get the other number. For example, 1, 3 and 9 are the factors of 9, because 1 × 9 = 9 and 3 × 3 = 9.
So the number of factors of a given number are finite.

A prime number can have only 1 and itself as factors.
Any even number has 2 as a factor so if the number has itself , 2 and 1 as factors it can not be prime.
2 is an even number that has only itself and 1 as factors so it is the only even number that is a prime.

Explanation:
A prime number is a positive integer greater than 1 that has no positive integer divisors other than 1 and itself.
A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one positive divisor other than one or itself.
The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.
Reasoning:
A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. For instance, 2 is a prime number since the only factors of 2 are 1 and 2.
A composite number has more than two factors. For instance, 6 is a composite number since it has four factors: 1, 2, 3, and 6.
The number 1 has only one factor, namely 1. Therefore, it is neither prime nor composite.
Answer:
The number that is neither prime nor composite is 1.

Prasad Chawla answered |
Ans.
There is 15 prime no between 1 to 50 always remember 1 is not a prime no because according to prime no definition if given no is divisible by self and 1 that's know as prime no in other words you can say no is divisible by two no’s self and one and now if you go through definition of prime no ,“1” is not satisfied it also you can say “1” is divisible by only one no that's it self so that is why “1”is not a prime no ,so these are all possible prime no between 1 to 50
