(d) 17 and 68 (e) 216 and 215 (f) 81 and 16

Answer:

(a) Factors of 18 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
Factors of 35 = 1, 5, 7, 35
Common factor = 1
Therefore, the given two numbers are co-prime.
(b) Factors of 15 = 1, 3, 5, 15
Factors of 37 = 1, 37
Common factors = 1
Therefore, the given two numbers are co-prime.
(c) Factors of 30 = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
Factors of 415 = 1, 5, 83, 415
Common factors = 1, 5
As these numbers have a common factor other than 1, the given two numbers are not co-prime.
(d) Factors of 17 = 1, 17
Factors of 68 = 1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68
Common factors = 1, 17
As these numbers have a common factor other than 1, the given two numbers are not co-prime.
(e) 216 and 215
Factors of 216 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 36, 54, 72, 108, 216
Factors of 215 = 1, 5, 43, 215

Therefore, the given two numbers are co-prime.
(f) 81 and 16
Factors of 81 = 1, 3, 9, 27, 81
Factors of 16 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
Common factors = 1
Therefore, the given two numbers are co- prime.

Q 6 - Ex 3.4 - Playing With Numbers - NCERT Maths Class 6th - Chapter 3

Question 6:

A number is divisible by both 5 and 12. By which other number will that number be always divisible?

Answer:

Factors of 5 = 1, 5
Factors of 12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
As the common factor of these numbers is 1, the given two numbers are co- prime and the number will also be divisible by their product, i.e. 60, and the factors of 60, i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60.

Q 7 - Ex 3.4 - Playing With Numbers - NCERT Maths Class 6th - Chapter 3

Question 7:

A number is divisible by 12. By what other number will that number be divisible?

Answer:

Since the number is divisible by 12, it will also be divisible by its factors i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12. Clearly, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are numbers other than 12 by which this number is also divisible.
