Example Question #21 : Factors / Multiples

How many integers from 51 to 70 inclusive do not have 2, 3, or 5 as a factor?

Possible Answers:

None

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We can eliminate the ten even integers right off the bat, since, by definition, all have as a factor. Of the remaining (odd) integers, we eliminate and , as they have as a factor. What remains is:

$\left \{ 51, 53, 57, 59, 61, 63 , 67, 69\right \}$

We can now eliminate the multiples of 3 - 51, 57, 63, 69 . This leaves

$\left \{ 53, 59, 61, 67 \right \}$ .

The correct choice is .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The factors of are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30.

Their sum is 1 + 2+ 3+ 5+ 6+10+ 15+30 = 72 .

Example Question #11 : How To Factor A Number

Adam fills up $\dpi{100} \frac{3}{4}$ of his glass in $\dpi{100} \frac{1}{2}$ of a minute. What is the total time, in seconds, that it takes him to fill up his entire glass?

Possible Answers:

$\dpi{100} 50\ seconds$

$\dpi{100} 40\ seconds$

$\dpi{100} 60\ seconds$

$\dpi{100} 45\ seconds$

Correct answer:

$\dpi{100} 40\ seconds$

Explanation:

There are more than one ways to go about solving this problem.

The easiest was probably involves converting the $\dpi{100} \frac{1}{2}$ minute to 30 seconds as soon as possible.

Now we can see that Adam has filled $\dpi{100} \frac{3}{4}$ of his cup in 30 seconds. We can also see that he needs to fill $\dpi{100} 1-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$ of his cup to fill his cup entirely. Since 3 of those quarters fill up in 30 seconds, then 1 of those quarters can be filled in 10 seconds Thus Adam needs an additional 10 seconds to finish filling his glass, or a total of 40 seconds.

Example Question #23 : Factors / Multiples

Find the prime factorization for 72.

Possible Answers:

$2\cdot 3$

$2^2\cdot 3^3$

$9\cdot 8$

$3^2\cdot 2^3$

$2^2\cdot 3^2$

Correct answer:

$3^2\cdot 2^3$

Explanation:

To find the prime factorization, start by breaking 72 down. I picked $9\cdot 8$ , which can be broken down further to $3\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 2$ . The 4 can be broken down further, so go one more step to $3\cdot 3\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2$ . The answers are given in exponents so give your answer in that format: $3^2\cdot 2^3.$

Example Question #13 : Other Factors / Multiples

What are all of the prime factors of 34?

Possible Answers:

14,20,5

3,11

2,17

2,7,3

Correct answer:

2,17

Explanation:

What are all of the prime factors of 34?

We need to find which prime numbers can be multiplied to get to 34.

We can find these numbers by dividing prime numbers out one at a time.

Recall that a prime factor is a number which is only divisible by one and itself.

When performing prime factorization on an even number, always begin by pulling out 2.

34=2(17)

Now, we are essentially done, because 17 is also a prime number. So, the prime factors of 34 are 2 and 17.

Example Question #14 : Other Factors / Multiples

What is the prime factorization of 78?

Possible Answers:

2*3*12

2*3*3*11

2*3*13

2*3*31

Correct answer:

2*3*13

Explanation:

What is the prime factorization of 78?

To find the prime factorization of a number, we need to find all the prime numbers which, when multiplied, give us our original number.

When starting with an even number, find the PF by first pulling out a two.

78=2(39)

Next, what can we pull out of the 39? Let's try 3

39=3(13)

Can we pull anything out of the 13? Nope!

Therefore, our answer is:

2*3*13
