∴ L.C.M. of the given numbers
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 2 × 3 × 5
= 24 × 30 = 720
Now least number of five digits = 10000
Dividing 10000 by 720, we get
RS Aggarwal Solutions: Factors & Multiples (Exercise 2E) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 6
Clearly if we add 80 to 640, it will become 720 which is exactly divisible by 720.
∴ Required least number of five digits
= 10000 + 80 = 10080

Q. 24. Find the greatest number of five digits exactly divisible by 9, 12, 15, 18 and 24.

Now
RS Aggarwal Solutions: Factors & Multiples (Exercise 2E) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 6
∴ L.C.M. of given numbers
= 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 2
= 360
Now greatest number of five digits
= 99999
Dividing 99999 by 360, we get
RS Aggarwal Solutions: Factors & Multiples (Exercise 2E) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 6
∴ Required greatest number of five digits
= 99999 – 279
= 99720

Q.25. Three bells toll at intervals of 9, 12, 15 minutes respectively. If they start tolling together, after what time will they next toll together ?

∴ Required time = L.C.M. of 9, 12, 15 minutes
RS Aggarwal Solutions: Factors & Multiples (Exercise 2E) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 6
∴ L.C.M. of 9, 12, 15 minutes
= 3 × 3 × 4 × 5 minutes
= 9 × 20 minutes
= 180 minutes
∴ Required time = 180 minutes

Q. 26. Three boys step off together from the same place. If their steps measure 36 cm, 48 cm and 54 cm, at what distance from the starting point will they again step together ?
Ans. Required distance = L.C.M. of 36 cm, 48 cm and 54 cm
RS Aggarwal Solutions: Factors & Multiples (Exercise 2E) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 6
∴ L.C.M. of 36 cm, 48 cm, 54 cm
= 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 4 × 3 cm
= 36 × 12 cm
= 432 cm
= 4 m 32 cm
∴ Required distance = 4 m 32 cm.

∴ L.C.M. of 45 cm, 50 cm and 75 cm
= 3 × 5 × 5 × 3 × 2 cm
= 15 × 30 cm
= 450 cm
∴ Required length of the rope = 450 cm

Q.29. An electronic device makes a beep after every 15 minutes. Another device makes a beep after every 20 minutes. They beeped together at 6 a.m. At what time will they next beep together ?
Ans.
The time after which both the devices will beep together = L.C.M. of 15 minutes and 20 minutes
Now,
RS Aggarwal Solutions: Factors & Multiples (Exercise 2E) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 6
∴ L.C.M. of 15 minutes and 20 minutes
= 5 × 3 × 4
= 60 minutes
= 1 hour
∴ Both the devices will beep together after 1 hour from 6 a.m.
∴  Required time = 6 + 1
= 7 a.m.

Q.30. The circumferences of four wheels are 50 cm, 60 cm, 75 cm and 100 cm respectively. They start moving simultaneously. What least distance should they cover so that each wheel makes a complete number of revolutions ?
Ans.
The circumferences of four wheels = 50 cm, 60 cm, 75 cm and 100 cm
Required least distance = L.C.M. of 50 cm, 60 cm, 75 cm and 100 cm

Now,
RS Aggarwal Solutions: Factors & Multiples (Exercise 2E) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 6
∴ L.C.M. of 50 cm, 60 cm, 75 cm, 100 cm
= 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 5 cm
= 300 cm = 3 m
∴ Required least distance = 3 m.

FAQs on RS Aggarwal Solutions: Factors & Multiples (Exercise 2E) - Mathematics (Maths) Class 6

1. What is the difference between factors and multiples?
Ans. Factors are the numbers that divide a given number completely, while multiples are the numbers that are obtained by multiplying a given number with any other number.
2. How can I find the factors of a given number?
Ans. To find the factors of a given number, we need to divide the number by all the numbers less than or equal to it. If the division is exact, then the number is a factor.
3. What is the difference between common factors and common multiples?
Ans. Common factors are the factors that two or more numbers have in common, while common multiples are the multiples that two or more numbers have in common.
4. How can I find the common factors of two numbers?
Ans. To find the common factors of two numbers, we need to list down the factors of each number separately and then identify the factors that are common to both numbers.
5. Can a number be its own factor or multiple?
Ans. Yes, a number can be its own factor and multiple. For example, 6 is a factor of 6, and 6 is also a multiple of 6.
