7
- B.
77
- C.
1
- D.
101
Correct Answer
C. 1Explanation
The H.C.F. (Highest Common Factor) of 7, 11, and 13 is 1. This is because 1 is the only positive integer that divides all three numbers without leaving a remainder.Rate this question:

The L.C.M. of 4, 8, and 16 is _________
- A.
2
- B.
4
- C.
1
- D.
16
Correct Answer
D. 16Explanation
The L.C.M. (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest multiple that is divisible by all the given numbers. In this case, the L.C.M. of 4, 8, and 16 is 16 because it is the smallest number that is divisible by all three numbers without leaving a remainder. Therefore, the correct answer is 16.Rate this question:

- 4.
The smallest among all the common multiples of the given numbers is called their __________
- A.
H.C.F.
- B.
L.C.M.
- C.
Product
- D.
Multiple
Correct Answer
B. L.C.M.Explanation
The smallest among all the common multiples of the given numbers is called their L.C.M. This is because the L.C.M. (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest multiple that is divisible by all the given numbers.Rate this question:
-
- 5.
The L.C.M of 5, 10, and 18 is
- A.
80
- B.
85
- C.
90
- D.
180
Correct Answer
C. 90Explanation
To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 5, 10, and 18, we need to determine the smallest number that is divisible by all three numbers. The prime factors of 5 are 5, the prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5, and the prime factors of 18 are 2 and 3. To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers. In this case, the LCM would be 2^1 * 3^1 * 5^1 = 2 * 3 * 5 = 30. Therefore, the given answer of 90 is incorrect.Rate this question:

The L.C.M of 3, 6, and 9 is
- A.
6
- B.
9
- C.
15
- D.
18
Correct Answer
D. 18Explanation
The LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 3, 6, and 9 can be found by listing the multiples of each number and finding the smallest number that appears in all three lists. The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, ... The multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, ... The multiples of 9 are 9, 18, 27, 36, ... The smallest number that appears in all three lists is 18, so the LCM of 3, 6, and 9 is 18.Rate this question:

All the given numbers are divisible by their ________
- A.
L.C.M.
- B.
!
- C.
H.C.F.
- D.
Product
Correct Answer
C. H.C.F.Explanation
The correct answer is H.C.F. (Highest Common Factor). The question suggests that all the given numbers are divisible by their H.C.F. This means that the highest factor that divides each of the given numbers without leaving a remainder is the H.C.F. Therefore, the H.C.F. is the correct answer.Rate this question:
-
- 8.
The L.C.M. of two or more mutually prime numbers is given by their ________
- A.
Product
- B.
1
- C.
H.C.F.
- D.
Biggest number
Correct Answer
A. ProductExplanation
The L.C.M. (Least Common Multiple) of two or more mutually prime numbers is given by their product. This means that when two or more numbers are mutually prime, their L.C.M. will be equal to the product of those numbers.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
The H.C.F of 8 and 12 is
- A.
4
- B.
6
- C.
8
- D.
12
Correct Answer
A. 4Explanation
The highest common factor (H.C.F) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them without leaving a remainder. In this case, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8, while the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12. The largest number that divides both 8 and 12 is 4, making it the H.C.F.Rate this question:
-
- 10.
The H.C.F. of two or more mutually prime numbers is _____
- A.
L.C.M.
- B.
10
- C.
Product
- D.
1
Correct Answer
D. 1Explanation
When two or more numbers are mutually prime, it means that they do not have any common factors other than 1. In such cases, the highest common factor (H.C.F.) of these numbers will always be 1. Therefore, the H.C.F. of mutually prime numbers is 1.Rate this question:
