Answers
(1) b. Yes

Step 1
Let us divide 98 by 7.

Dividend↴
Divisor→ 7 ) 9 8 ( 14 ←Quotient
7
28
28
Remainder← 0

Step 2
Clearly, on dividing 98 by 7, we get 0 as the remainder.
This means 98 is completely divisible by 7.

Step 3
Thus, 7 is a factor of 98.

(2) d. 288

Step 1
For this problem, we need to evaluate all the options individually.
If any number has 6 as a factor, then 6 will completely divide that number i.e. the remainder would be 0.

Step 2
Option(a) - 563
When we divide 563 by 6, the remainder is 5.
Since the remainder is not equal to zero, 6 is not a factor of 563.
Option(a) is invalid.

Step 3
Option(b) - 159
When we divide 159 by 6, the remainder is 3.
Since the remainder is not equal to zero, 6 is not a factor of 159.
Option(b) is invalid.

Step 4
Option(c) - 572
When we divide 572 by 6, the remainder is 2.
Since the remainder is not equal to zero, 6 is not a factor of 572.
Option(c) is invalid.

Step 5
Option(d) - 288
When we divide 288 by 6, the remainder is 0 and hence 6 is a factor of 288.
Option(d) is valid.

Step 6
Hence, 288 has 6 as a factor.
Option(d) is correct.

(3) d. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

Step 1
Here all the factors of 42:
1 × 42 = 42
2 × 21 = 42
3 × 14 = 42
6 × 7 = 42

Step 2
Therefore, the factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 42 .

(4) a. Yes

Step 1
Let us divide 1332 by 18.

Dividend↴
Divisor→ 18 ) 1 3 3 2 ( 74 ←Quotient
126
72
72
Remainder← 0

Step 2
Clearly, on dividing 1332 by 18, we get 0 as the remainder.
This means 1332 is completely divisible by 18.

Step 3
Thus, 18 is a factor of 1332.

(5) 1, 3, 9 and 27

Step 1
We know that when a number divides another number completely, the divisor is called the factor of the
dividend.

Step 2
Finding the factors of 27:
1 divides 27 completely. So, 1 is a factor of 27.
3 divides 27 completely. So, 3 is a factor of 27.
9 divides 27 completely. So, 9 is a factor of 27.
27 divides 27 completely. So, 27 is a factor of 27.

Step 3
So, 1, 3, 9 and 27 are the factors of 27.

(6) 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88

Step 1
Let us find all the factors of 88 as below:
1 x 88 = 88
2 x 44 = 88
4 x 22 = 88
8 x 11 = 88

Step 2
Hence the factors of 88 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88.

(7) No

Step 1
Let us divide 752 by 11.

Dividend↴
Divisor→ 11 ) 7 5 2 ( 68 ←Quotient
66
92
88
Remainder← 4

Step 2
Clearly, on dividing 752 by 11, we get 4 as remainder.
This means 752 is not completely divisible by 11.

Step 3
Thus, 11 is not a factor of 752.
Hence, 752 is not a multiple of 11.

(8) 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36

Step 1
We know that when a number divides another number completely, the divisor is called the factor of the
dividend.

Step 2
Finding the factors of 36:
1 divides 36 completely. So, 1 is a factor of 36.
2 divides 36 completely. So, 2 is a factor of 36.
3 divides 36 completely. So, 3 is a factor of 36.
4 divides 36 completely. So, 4 is a factor of 36.
6 divides 36 completely. So, 6 is a factor of 36.
9 divides 36 completely. So, 9 is a factor of 36.
12 divides 36 completely. So, 12 is a factor of 36.
18 divides 36 completely. So, 18 is a factor of 36.
36 divides 36 completely. So, 36 is a factor of 36.

Step 3
So, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36 are the factors of 36.

(9) 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280

Step 1
Let us find all the factors of 280 as below:
1 x 280 = 280
2 x 140 = 280
4 x 70 = 280
5 x 56 = 280
7 x 40 = 280
8 x 35 = 280
10 x 28 = 280
14 x 20 = 280

Step 2
Hence the factors of 280 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 140, 280.
