 24.Teaching Mathematics through activities is a
powerful approach that enhances students’
understanding and engagement. Keeping this in
mind, Ms. Mukta planned a prime number game for
class 5 students. She announces the number 2 in her
class and asked the first student to multiply it by a
prime number and then pass it to second student.
Second student also multiplied it by a prime number
and passed it to third student. In this way by
multiplying to a prime number, the last student got
173250.
Based on the above information, solve the following
questions:
(i) What is the least prime number used by students?
(ii) What is the highest prime number used by students?
(iii) How many students are in the class and which prime number has been used maximum times?

25. The Army Day is celebrated on 15th January every year in India. The day is celebrated in the form of
parades and other military shows in the national capital New Delhi as well as in all headquarters.
Parade I: An Army contingent of 616
members is to march behind an army band of
32 members in parade. The two groups are to
march in the same number of columns.
Parade II: An Army contingent of 1000
members is to march behind an army band of
56 members in parade. The two groups are to
march in the same number of columns.
(i) Find the sum of exponents of prime
factors of 616.
(ii) What is the maximum number of
columns in which members of parade-II can march?
(iii) Find the HCF(32, 616), if LCM(32, 616) is 2464.
