Odd one out:
The numbers given are 18, 30, 36, and 24. We need to identify the number that is different from the others.
Factors of the Numbers:
To identify the odd one out, let's consider the factors of each number:
- Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
- Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
- Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
- Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Analysis:
Upon analyzing the factors of each number, we can observe the following:
- All four numbers have 1, 2, 3, 6 as factors.
- However, 24 has an additional factor of 8, which is not present in the other numbers.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, we can conclude that the odd one out is 24 (option D) as it has an additional factor of 8 compared to the other numbers.
