(ii) Given, product of the two numbers

HCF

(iii) The prime factors of 36 are

(iv)
Hence, it is a composite number.
(v) Given, and
Product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers, with
highest power

Question No: 58
(i) The factors are

HCF of and
[Link] of and

(ii) Let the number of marbles be or

Total number of marbles be in the form of (multiple of 2 and 3
or is any integer is an odd number.
(iii) Here, HCF of 306 and , we have
Product of the numbers

Thus, LCM of 306 and 657 is 22338 .

(iv) LCM of 15,24 and 36 is 360 .
Greatest number of 6 -digit is
So,
Greatest number of 6 -digits divisible by 15,24 and 36 is
(v) will be odd number because is sum of one even number and 13986 odd numbers.
Hence, will not be divisible by any even number.
Question No: 59
(i)
(ii) We have,

(iii) We have,

(iv) According to the fundamental theorem of Arithmetic 13915 is a composite number.

(v)
Question No: 60
(i) The simplest form of are the options can be written as
Only (c) has denominator in the form of
(ii)

(iii)
denominator is in the form of so terminating.
(iv) For the fraction to be terminating the denominator must be in the form of , so the values of
must be 2 or 5 . Hence, will be correct.
(v) here the denominator have only 2 or 5 prime factor (or in the form of , so is a
terminating decimal.
