Example Question #271 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

Which number is divisble by 8 with a remainder of 2?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The number 88 is divisble by 8 with no remainder. (8 times 11 is 88.) Therefore, a number that is divisble by 8 with a remainder of 2 would be equal to 88 plus 2. This gives us 90, the correct answer. 

Example Question #272 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

Which of the following numbers is divisble by 3 without a remainder, but not by 6?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

21 is divisibly by 3 without a remainder (3 times 7 is 21). However, it is not divisible by 6, as there will be a remainder. (21 divided by 6 is 3, remainder 3.)

Therefore, 21 is the correct answer. 

Example Question #273 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

Which number is divisible by 16 with a remainder of 5?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The number 32 is divisble by 16 with no remainder. (16 times 2 is 32.) Therefore, a number that is divisble by 16 with a remainder of 5 would be equal to 32 plus 5. This gives us 37, the correct answer.

Example Question #276 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

What is the greatest common factor of 15 and 10?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The factors of 15 are 1, 15, 3, and 5. 

The factors of 10 are 1, 10, 2, and 5. 

The common factors that 10 and 15 share are 1 and 5. Thus, 5 is the greatest common factor. 

Example Question #113 : Operations

Which of the following is not a factor of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The product of  is equal to 36. 

The factors of 36 are 1, 16, 2, 18, 3, 12, 4, 9, 6.
