  • 2. 

    Which number below is a factor of both 9 and 7 ?

    • 7

    • 3

    • 9

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above.
    Explanation
    A factor of a number is a number that divides evenly into that number. In this case, we need to find a number that can divide both 9 and 7 without leaving a remainder. However, none of the given options can do that. 7 is not a factor of 9, 3 is not a factor of 7, and 9 is not a factor of 7. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the above."

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which of the following numbers is NOT a factor of 124 ?

    • 2

    • 1

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The number 3 is not a factor of 124 because it does not divide evenly into 124. Factors are numbers that divide into another number without leaving a remainder. In this case, 3 does not divide evenly into 124, so it is not a factor.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which choice below lists ALL the factors for the number 15 ?

    • 7 and 8

    • 1 and 15

    • 3, 5 and 15

    • 1, 3, 5 and 15

    Correct Answer
    A. 1, 3, 5 and 15
    Explanation
    The factors of a number are the numbers that can divide it evenly without leaving a remainder. In this case, the number 15 can be divided by 1, 3, 5, and 15 without leaving a remainder. Therefore, the correct answer is 1, 3, 5, and 15.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The number 3 is a factor of ALL of the following numbers EXCEPT what ?

    • 8

    • 12

    • 15

    • 21

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    The number 3 is a factor of 12, 15, and 21 because each of these numbers can be divided by 3 without leaving a remainder. However, 8 cannot be divided evenly by 3, so it is not a factor of 8.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following is not a multiple of 4?

    • 4

    • 2

    • 8

    • 12

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    A multiple of 4 is any number that can be divided evenly by 4. In this case, 2 is not a multiple of 4 because it cannot be divided evenly by 4.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following is not a factor of 4?

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The numbers 1, 2, and 4 are all factors of 4 because they divide evenly into 4 without leaving a remainder. However, 3 is not a factor of 4 because it does not divide evenly into 4.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of the following numbers is a multiple of 6 ?

    • 12

    • 2

    • 8

    • 10

    Correct Answer
    A. 12
    Explanation
    12 is a multiple of 6 because it can be divided evenly by 6. When 12 is divided by 6, the result is 2, which means that 6 can go into 12 exactly 2 times without any remainder. Therefore, 12 is a multiple of 6.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following numbers is even?

    • 21

    • 43

    • 32

    • 85

    Correct Answer
    A. 32
    Explanation
    An even number is divisible by 2 without leaving a remainder. In this case, only the number 32 is divisible by 2, making it the only even number among the options provided.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following is a multiple of 3?

    • 17

    • 23

    • 20

    • 33

    Correct Answer
    A. 33
    Explanation
    33 is a multiple of 3 because it can be divided evenly by 3 without leaving a remainder. This can be determined by checking if the sum of the digits in 33 is divisible by 3, which it is (3+3=6, and 6 is divisible by 3). Therefore, 33 is a multiple of 3.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Which of the following numbers is a factor of 6 ?

    • 12

    • 2

    • 8

    • 10

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    The number 2 is a factor of 6 because it can divide evenly into 6 without leaving a remainder. When 6 is divided by 2, the result is 3, which means that 2 is a factor of 6.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which of the following numbers is even?

    • 2n + 2

    • 2n + 3

    • 2n + 1

    • 4n + 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 2n + 2
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2n + 2. In this expression, the coefficient of 'n' is 2, which means it is a multiple of 2. Since any multiple of 2 is an even number, 2n + 2 will always be an even number.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    What number below is a prime number ?

    • 85

    • 75

    • 57

    • 17

    Correct Answer
    A. 17
    Explanation
    The number 17 is a prime number because it is only divisible by 1 and itself. It does not have any other factors.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which number below is NOT a prime ?

    • 3

    • 7

    • 21

    • 17

    Correct Answer
    A. 21
    Explanation
    A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself. The numbers 3, 7, and 17 are prime numbers because they can only be divided by 1 and themselves. However, 21 is not a prime number because it can be divided by 1, 3, 7, and 21. Therefore, 21 is the number below that is NOT a prime number.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What number below is a prime number ?

    • 29

    • 33

    • 27

    • 26

    Correct Answer
    A. 29
    Explanation
    The number 29 is a prime number because it is only divisible by 1 and itself. It does not have any other factors.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which of the following numbers is odd?

    • 2n + 1 + 3

    • 2n + 4

    • 2n + 2n

    • 2n + 5

    Correct Answer
    A. 2n + 5
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 2n + 5. This is because when you add 5 to any number, if the number is even, the result will be odd. Therefore, 2n + 5 is the only option that guarantees an odd number.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Which of the numbers below is not composite?

    • 73

    • 21

    • 88

    • 75

    Correct Answer
    A. 73
    Explanation
    The number 73 is not composite because it is a prime number. A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. In the given list, 21, 88, and 75 are all composite numbers because they have multiple positive divisors. However, 73 does not have any divisors other than 1 and itself, making it a prime number and the only number in the list that is not composite.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Which of the following is NOT a factor of 126?

    • 2

    • 4

    • 3

    • 9

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    The number 126 can be divided evenly by 2, 3, and 9, but not by 4. Therefore, 4 is not a factor of 126.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Which of the following numbers is a multiple of 9?

    • 234, 456

    • 450, 002

    • 111,111,112

    • 718,236

    Correct Answer
    A. 718,236
    Explanation
    The number 718,236 is a multiple of 9 because the sum of its digits (7+1+8+2+3+6) equals 27, which is divisible by 9.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    List the prime factors of 96.

    • 4 ∙ 4 ∙ 4 ∙ 3

    • 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 5

    • 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 3

    • 4 ∙ 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 2 ∙ 3
    Explanation
    The prime factorization of 96 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3. This means that 96 can be expressed as the product of these prime numbers.
