Ques on 4.
What jump size can reach both 15 and 30? There are mul ple jump sizes possible. Try to find them all. f (Page
110)
Solu on:
To find the jump sizes that allow Jumpy to land on both 15 and 30, you need to determine the common factors
of these two numbers. Here’s how you can find these common jump sizes:

Factors of 15:

 15 can be factored into: 15 = 3 × 5

 The factors of 15 are: 1, 3, 5, 15

Factors of 30:

 30 can be factored into: 30 = 2 × 3 × 5

 The factors of 30 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

The common factors between these two lists are: 1, 3, 5, 15. So, the jump sizes that will allow Jumpy to land on
both 15 and 30 are the common factors of 15 and 30.
Therefore, the jump sizes that will enable Jumpy to land on both 15 and 30 are: 1, 3, 5, 15

The smallest number that is a mul ple of all the numbers from 1 to 10 is 2520

5.2 Prime Numbers Figure it Out (Page No. 114 – 115)

Ques on 1.
We see that 2 is a prime and also an even number. Is there any other even prime?
Solu on:
No, 2 is the only even prime number. Since 2 is the only even number that meets the criteria of a prime
number (its only divisors are 1 and 2), it is the only even prime number. All other even numbers are divisible by
2 and at least one other number, so they are not prime.

Ques on 2.
Look at the list of primes ll 106. What is the smallest difference between two successive primes? What is the
largest difference?
Solu on:
To find the smallest difference between two successive prime numbers up to 100, let’s list the prime numbers
in that range and calculate the differences between each pair: Prime numbers up to 100: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17,
19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97
Differences between successive primes:

 3–2=1

 5–3=2
  7–5=2

 11 – 7 = 4

 13 – 11 = 2

 17 – 13 = 4

 19 – 17 = 2

 23 – 19 = 4

 29 – 23 = 6

 31 – 29 = 2

 37 – 31 = 6

 41 – 37 = 4

 43 – 41 = 2

 47 – 43 = 4

 53 – 47 = 6

 59 – 53 = 6

 61 – 59 = 2

 67 – 61 = 6

 71 – 67 = 4

 73 – 71 = 2

 79 – 73 = 6

 83 – 79 = 4

 89 – 83 = 6

 97 – 89 = 8

The smallest difference between two successive primes up to 100 is 1 (between the primes 2 and 3).
The largest difference between two successive primes up to 100 is 8, which occurs between the primes 89 and
97.

Ques on 3.

43), (59, 61), (71, 73).

Ques on 9.
Iden fy whether each statement is true or false. Explain.
(a) There is no prime number whose units digit is 4.
(b) A product of primes can also be prime.
(c) Prime numbers do not have any factors.
(d) All even numbers are composite numbers.
(e) 2 is a prime and so is the next number, 3. For every other prime, the next number is composite.
Solu on:
(a) True.
A prime number must end in 1, 3, 7, or 9 (except for the number 2) because any number ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 or
8 is divisible by 2.
Thus, there is no prime number whose units digit is 4.

(b) False.
A product of prime numbers is only prime if it involves exactly one prime number. When you mul ply two or
more prime numbers together, the result is always a composite number, not a prime. As this number has 2
factors now.

(c) False.
Prime numbers have exactly two factors 1 and itself.

(d) False.
The number 2 is an even number, but it is not composite. As it is a prime number.

(e) True.
For every prime number greater than 2, the next number is composite.

Ques on 10.

Here, 45 = 3 × 3 × 5 (2 dis nct primes)
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5(3 dis nct primes)
91 = 7 × 13 (2 dis nct primes)
105 = 3 × 5 × 7 (3 dis nct primes)
330 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 11 (4 dis nct primes)
Number 105 is the product of exactly three dis nct prime numbers i.e. 3 × 5 × 7.

Ques on 11.
How many three-digit prime numbers can you make using each of 2, 4 and 5 once?
Solu on:
2, 4 and 5 cannot form a single prime number.
Because, when its units digit is 2 or 4 it is divided by 2, and when units digits is 5 it is divided by 5 so that’s why
2, 4 and 5 cannot form a prime number.

Ques on 12.
Observe that 3 is a prime number, and 2 × 3 + 1 = 7 is also a prime. Are there other primes for which doubling
and adding 1 gives another prime? Find at least five such examples.
Solu on:
The five prime numbers for which doubling and adding 1 gives another prime are:

 2 (since 2 × 2 + 1 = 5)

 3 (since 2 × 3 + 1 = 7)

 5 (since 2 × 5 + 1 = 11)
  11 (since 2 × 11 + 1 = 23)

 23 (since 2 × 23 + 1 = 47)

Which of the following pairs of numbers are co-prime? (Page 116)
(a) 18 and 35
(b) 15 and 37
(c) 30 and 415
Answer:
(a) Here factors of 18 = 1 × 2 × 3 × 3 and factors of 35 = 1 × 5 × 7
No common factor other than 1.
Hence 18 and 35 are co-prime numbers.

(b) We have factors of 15 = 1 × 3 × 5 and factors of 37 = 1 × 37

No common factor other than 1.
Hence 15 and 37 are co-prime numbers.

(c) Given numbers are 30 and 415 Here factors of 30 = 1 × 2 × 3 × 5 and factors of 415 = 5 × 83
Clearly 5 is a common factor of 30 and 415.

5.4 Prime Factorisa on Figure it Out (Page No. 122)

Ques on 1.
Are the following pairs of numbers co-prime? Guess first and then use prime factoriza on to verify your
answer.
(a) 30 and 45
(b) 57 and 85
(c) 121 and 1331
(d) 343 and 216
Solu on:
(a) Factors of 30 and 45:
30 = 2 × 3 × 5,
45 = 3 × 3 × 5
Common factors: 3 × 5 = 15, hence 30 and 45 are not a pair of co-prime numbers.

(b) Factors of 57 and 85:

57 = 3 × 19,
85 = 5 × 17
No common factors other than 1, hence 57 and 85 are a pair of co-prime numbers.

(c) Factors of 121 and 1331:

121 = 11 × 11,
1331 = 11×11×11
Common factors: 11 × 11 = 121, hence 121 and 1331 are not a pair of co-prime numbers.

(d) Factors of 343 and 216:

343 = 7 × 7 × 7,
216 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
No common factors other than 1, hence 343 and 216 are a pair of co-prime numbers.
Ques on 2.
Is the first number divisible by the second? Use prime factoriza on.
(a) 225 and 27
(b) 96 and 24
(c) 343 and 17
(d) 999 and 99
Solu on:
(a) Prime Factors of 225 and 27:
225 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 and 27 = 3 × 3 × 3
Since 225 contains 3×3 and does not have enough factors of 3 to match 3×3 × 3, 225 does not have sufficient
factors to be divisible by 27.
Therefore, 225 is not divisible by 27.

(b) Prime Factors of 96 and 24:

96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 and 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3.
Since 96 includes the required factors to match those in 24, it is divisible by 24.

(c) Prime Factors of 343 and 17:

343 = 7 × 7 × 7 and 17 = 1 × 17
Since the prime factoriza on of 343 contains the prime factor 7 and not 17, 343 is not divisible by 17.
Thus, 343 is not divisible by 17.

(d) Prime Factors of 999 and 99: t

999 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 37 and 99 = 3 × 3 × 11
Since 999 does not include the factor 11 required for 99, 999 is not divisible by 99.

Ques on 3.
The first number has prime factoriza on 2 × 3 × 7 and the second number has prime factoriza on 3 × 7 × 11.
Are they co-prime? Does one of them divide the other?

The numbers share the common factors 3 and 7. So they are not co-prime since neither number contains all
the factors of the other, neither can divide the other.

Ques on 4.
Guna says, “Any two prime numbers are co-prime”. Is he right?
Solu on:
Yes, Guna is right. Any two prime numbers are co-prime as they do not have common factor other than 1
which means they are always co-prime. For example, 2 and 3, 5 and 7, 11 and 13.

Ques on 3.
Explore and find out if each statement is always true, some mes true or never true. You can give e×amples to
support your reasoning.
(a) Sum of two even numbers gives a mul ple of 4.
Solu on:
Some mes true. Sum of any two even numbers is not always divisible by 4. For e×ample, 6 + 4 = 10 which is
not divisible by 4 whereas 2+2 = 4 which is divisible of 4.

(b) Sum of two odd numbers gives a mul ple of 4.

Solu on:
Some mes true. Sum of two odd numbers can indeed be even but not necessarily a mul ple of 4. For
e×ample, 1 + 5 = 6 which is not a mul ple of 4 whereas 1+3 = 4, which is a mul ple of 4. Similarly 7 + 5 = 12,
which is a mul ple of 4.

Ques on 4.
Find the remainders obtained when each of the following numbers are divided by
(i) 10
(ii) 5
(iii) 2.
78, 99, 173, 572, 980, 1111, 2345
Solu on:
Here we have to divide 78 by 10, 5 and
2 then
Now do yourself:
99/10: Remainder = 9, 99/5: Remainder = 4, 99/2: Remainder = 1
173/10: Remainder = 3, 173/5: Remainder = 3, 173/2: Remainder = 1
572/10: Remainder = 2, 572/5: Remainder = 2, 572/2: Remainder = 0
980/10: Remainder = 0,980/5: Remainder = 0, 980/2: Remainder = 0
1111/10: Remainder= 1,1111/5: Remainder= 1, 1111/2: Remainder = 1
2345/10: Remainder 5,2345/5: Remainder = 0, 2345/2: Remainder = 1

Ques on 5.
The teacher asked if 14560 is divisible by all of 2, 4, 5, 8 and 10. Guna checked for divisibility of 14560 by only
two of these numbers and then declared that it was also divisible by all of them. What could those two
numbers be?
Solu on:
If a number is divisible by 8, it will automa cally be divisible by 4.
If a number is divisible by 10, it is also divisible by 2 and 5. Therefore, checking divisibility by 8 and 10 confirms
divisibility by all other numbers (2, 4, 5).
Thus, the pair of numbers that Guna could check to determine that 14560 is divisible by all of 2, 4, 5, 8, and 10
is: 8 and 5.

Ques on 6.
Which of the following numbers are divisible by all of 2, 4, 5, 8 and 10: 572, 2352, 5600, 6000, 77622160?
Solu on:
5600, 6000, 77622160
Ques on 7.
Write two numbers whose product is 10000. The two numbers should not have 0 as the units digit.
Solu on:
We need to write factors of 10000.
10000= 10 × 10 × 10 × 10
=2×5×2×5×2×5×2×5
So, 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 and 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 625.
Hence, 16 and 625 are the two numbers whose product is 10000.

Ques on 3.
Is 8536 divisible by 4?
Solu on:
Since the last two digits of 8536 (which is 36) are divisible by 4, the original number 8536 is also divisible by 4.

Ques on 4.
Consider these statements:
(a) Only the last two digits ma er when deciding if a given number is divisible by 4.
(b) If the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4, then the original number is divisible by 4.
(c) If the original number is divisible by 4, then the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4.
Do you agree? Why or why not?
Solu on:
(a) Yes, that’s correct. When determining if a number is divisible by 4, only the last two digits of the number
ma er. This is because 100 is divisible by 4, so the divisibility rule for 4 focuses on whether the number formed
by the last two digits is divisible by 4.
(b) Yes, that’s correct. If the number formed by the last two digits of a given number is divisible by 4, then the
original number is also divisible by 4.
(c) Yes, that’s correct. If the original number is divisible by 4, the last two digits of the number will indeed be
divisible by 4.
