Section A · multiple choice

  1. 1.

    The prime factorisation of 40 is:

    1. 2³ × 5
    2. 2⁴ × 5
    3. 2³ × 3 × 5
    4. 2² × 5
    Answer

    (a) 2³ × 5

    2³ × 5 = 40

  2. 2.

    The HCF of 364 and 286 is:

    1. 4004
    2. 52
    3. 26
    4. 154
    Answer

    (c) 26

    364 = 26 × 14, 286 = 26 × 11, and 14, 11 share no factor

  3. 3.

    The LCM of 28 and 20 is:

    1. 140
    2. 560
    3. 4
    4. 48
    Answer

    (a) 140

    LCM = 4 × 7 × 5 = 140

Section B · short answer

  1. 4.

    Find the HCF and LCM of 288 and 396 by prime factorisation.

    Answer

    HCF = 36, LCM = 3,168

    288 = 2⁵ × 3²; 396 = 2² × 3² × 11; HCF = product of the lowest powers, LCM = the highest

  2. 5.

    Find the HCF and LCM of 16, 18, 30.

    Answer

    HCF = 2, LCM = 720

    16 = 2⁴; 18 = 2 × 3²; 30 = 2 × 3 × 5

Section C · long answer

  1. 6.

    Two bells ring together at 8:00 am. One rings every 36 minutes and the other every 30 minutes. When will they next ring together?

    Answer

    11:00 am

    LCM(36, 30) = 180 minutes after 8:00 am
