Prime numbers circled: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 43, 89
2. **Section B: Prime numbers between 20, 30, and 40**
Between 20 and 30: 23, 29
Between 30 and 40: 31, 37
3. **Fill in the blanks:**
1. A number which has only two factors, 1 and itself, is called a **prime** number.
2. The smallest perfect number is **6**.
3. The HCF of two prime numbers is always **1** (because they have no common factors besides 1).
4. The LCM of two co-prime numbers is equal to their **product**.
5. The product of HCF and LCM of two numbers = **product** of the two numbers.
4. **Factors and Multiples**
(a) Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
(b) Factors of 242: 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242
First five multiples:
(a) 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35
(b) 92: 92, 184, 276, 368, 460
5. **HCF by Prime Factorization:**
(a) 18 = $2 \times 3^2$
24 = $2^3 \times 3$
Common prime factors: $2^1$ and $3^1$
HCF = $2 \times 3 = 6$
(b) 65 = $5 \times 13$
91 = $7 \times 13$
Common prime factor: 13
HCF = 13
6. **LCM by Prime Factorization:**
Numbers: 32, 68, 95
32 = $2^5$
68 = $2^2 \times 17$
95 = $5 \times 19$
LCM = $2^5 \times 5 \times 17 \times 19 = 31680$
7. **HCF and LCM using Common Division Method:**
Numbers: 96, 120, 180
HCF = 12
LCM = 720
8. **Verify HCF and LCM relationship for pairs:**
(a) 95 and 120
HCF = 5, LCM = 2280
Verify: $5 \times 2280 = 11400$ and $95 \times 120 = 11400$ ✓
(b) 15 and 20
HCF = 5, LCM = 60
Verify: $5 \times 60 = 300$ and $15 \times 20 = 300$ ✓
9. **Prime Factorization of given numbers:**
- 88 = $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 11$
- 90 = $2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5$
- 126 = $2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 7$
- 75 = $3 \times 5 \times 5$
- 84 = $2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 7$
- 80 = $2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5$
10. **Word Problems:**
(1) Smallest number divisible by 10, 12, 18 is LCM(10,12,18)
Prime factors:
10 = $2 \times 5$
12 = $2^2 \times 3$
18 = $2 \times 3^2$
LCM = $2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5 = 180$
(2) Greatest number dividing 45 and 75 exactly is HCF(45,75)
45 = $3^2 \times 5$
75 = $3 \times 5^2$
HCF = $3 \times 5 = 15$
(3) Bells ring every 10, 15, 20 minutes. They start together at 9 a.m.
LCM(10,15,20) = $2^2 \times 3 \times 5 = 60$ minutes
They ring together again after 60 minutes at 10:00 a.m.
(4) Greatest length of rope cut from 36 m and 60 m without remainder is HCF(36,60)
36 = $2^2 \times 3^2$
60 = $2^2 \times 3 \times 5$
HCF = $2^2 \times 3 = 12$ meters
(5) Is 496 a perfect number?
A perfect number equals the sum of its proper divisors.
Divisors of 496: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248
Sum = 496
So yes, 496 is a perfect number.
