26. Three airlines leave from an airport for the same destination via
different routes at the same time on 2l March. The first departs
from the airport every 16 hours, the second every 24 hours and the
third every 30 hours. When do they next depart from the airport
at the same time?

27. (a) The HCF and the LCM of three numbers are 22 x 3 and

The Sieve of Eratosthenes is a simple ancient step-by-step procedure

that is used to flnd prime numbers.

Follow these steps:

1. Cross 1 out.
2. Starting with 2, circle 2 but cross out every multiple of 2 from
your sieve.
3. Starting with 3, circle 3 but cross out every multiple of 3 from
your sieve.
4. Repeat the steps with all the primes until all the numbers are either
circled or crossed out.
5. The numbers that are circled are primes.

1. Twin primes are two primes that differ by 2, e.g. 3 and 5.
How many twin primes can you find from your sieve?
2. Symmetrical primes are primes where their digits are reversed,
e.g. 13 and 31. How many symmetrical primes can you find
from your sieve?
3. Would you be able to determine if 347 is prime?
