1. Which number is a factor of 57?
Options:
① 11 ② 13 ③ 17 ④ 19
Step-by-step:
We need to find which of these numbers divides 57 evenly (no remainder).
- 57 ÷ 11 = 5.18... → Not a whole number
✘
- 57 ÷ 13 ≈ 4.38 → Not a whole number
✘
- 57 ÷ 17 ≈ 3.35 → Not a whole number
✘
- 57 ÷ 19 = 3 → Exactly!
✔
So,
19 × 3 = 57, so 19 is a factor.
✔ Answer: ④ 19

2. What are all the factors of 8?
Options:
① 1,8 ② 2,4 ③ 1,4,8 ④ 1,2,4,8
Step-by-step:
List all numbers that divide 8 evenly:
- 1 × 8 = 8
- 2 × 4 = 8
- 4 × 2 = 8 (already listed)
- 8 × 1 = 8 (already listed)
So the factors are:
1, 2, 4, 8
✔ Answer: ④ 1, 2, 4, 8

3. What are the common factors of 8, 24, and 60?
Options:
① 1, 2, 4 ② 1, 2, 4, 6 ③ 1, 2, 4, 6, 8
Step-by-step:
Find factors of each number:
- Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
- Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
- Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
Now, find
common ones in all three:
- Common: 1, 2, 4
(6 is not a factor of 8 → so not common)
✔ Answer: ① 1, 2, 4

4. A play sold $90 worth of tickets. Each ticket cost the same amount. Which of these could be the cost of each ticket?
Options:
① $16 ② $50 ③ $18 ④ $24
We need to find which of these amounts
divides evenly into $90.
Check each:
- 90 ÷ 16 = 5.625 → Not a whole number
✘
- 90 ÷ 50 = 1.8 → Not a whole number
✘
- 90 ÷ 18 = 5 → Yes!
✔
- 90 ÷ 24 = 3.75 → No
✘
So only $18 divides evenly into $90.
✔ Answer: ③ $18
