Let's solve this step-by-step, explaining each part clearly.

#### Question 1:
We are given a part of a 100 square:
```
12 | 13 | 14 | 15
-----|----|----|----
22 | 23 | 24 | 25
-----|----|----|----
32 | 33 | 34 | 35
-----|----|----|----
42 | 43 | 44 | 45
```
- Shaded numbers: 12, 15, 24, 33, 42, 45
(These are in yellow)
- Circled numbers: 12, 24, 32, 44
---
What do the shaded numbers have in common?
Let’s look at the shaded numbers:
- 12, 15, 24, 33, 42, 45
Check if they are multiples of any number:
- 12 = 3×4 → divisible by 3
- 15 = 3×5 → divisible by 3
- 24 = 3×8 → divisible by 3
- 33 = 3×11 → divisible by 3
- 42 = 3×14 → divisible by 3
- 45 = 3×15 → divisible by 3
✔ All shaded numbers are multiples of 3.
> ✔ Answer: These numbers are all multiples of 3.
---
What do the circled numbers have in common?
Circled numbers: 12, 24, 32, 44
Check them:
- 12 → even
- 24 → even
- 32 → even
- 44 → even
All are even numbers (divisible by 2).
But let's check for more patterns.
Look at their digits:
- 12: ends in 2
- 24: ends in 4
- 32: ends in 2
- 44: ends in 4
They all end in even digits, but that’s just because they're even.
Wait — look at the positions on the grid. Notice:
- 12 → row 1, column 1
- 24 → row 2, column 3
- 32 → row 3, column 1
- 44 → row 4, column 3
Not obvious.
But observe:
12, 24, 32, 44 — all are even, but is there a better pattern?
Try dividing by 4:
- 12 ÷ 4 = 3 → yes
- 24 ÷ 4 = 6 → yes
- 32 ÷ 4 = 8 → yes
- 44 ÷ 4 = 11 → yes
✔ All are multiples of 4!
Wait — 12, 24, 32, 44 — are they all divisible by 4?
Yes:
- 12 ÷ 4 = 3 ✔️
- 24 ÷ 4 = 6 ✔️
- 32 ÷ 4 = 8 ✔️
- 44 ÷ 4 = 11 ✔️
So, all are multiples of 4.
> ✔ Answer: These numbers are all multiples of 4.

#### Question 2:
Another part of the 100 square:
```
55 | 56 | 57 | 58 | 59 | 60
----|----|----|----|----|----
65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 70
----|----|----|----|----|----
75 | 76 | 77 | 78 | 79 | 80
----|----|----|----|----|----
85 | 86 | 87 | 88 | 89 | 90
```
- Shaded numbers: 55, 60, 70, 80, 90, and also 65, 75, 85 — wait, let's list carefully.
From the image:
- Yellow shaded: 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90
So shaded: 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90
Look at these:
- All end in 0 or 5 → they are multiples of 5
Check:
- 55 = 5×11
- 60 = 5×12
- 65 = 5×13
- 70 = 5×14
- 75 = 5×15
- 80 = 5×16
- 85 = 5×17
- 90 = 5×18
✔ All are multiples of 5.
> ✔ Answer: These numbers are all multiples of 5.

All are multiples of 11!
Also, notice:
- 55 → 5×11
- 66 → 6×11
- 77 → 7×11
- 88 → 8×11
So they are multiples of 11.
> ✔ Answer: These numbers are all multiples of 11.

✔ Answer: factor
---
7) 0 is a _________ of every number.
- Is 0 a factor of every number? No! You can’t divide by 0.
- But: Any number × 0 = 0 → so 0 is a multiple of every number.
For example:
- 5 × 0 = 0 → 0 is a multiple of 5
- 10 × 0 = 0 → 0 is a multiple of 10
So, 0 is a multiple of every number
✔ Answer: multiple

What do the circled numbers have in common?
Circled numbers: 12, 24, 32, 44
Check them:
- 12 → even
- 24 → even
- 32 → even
- 44 → even
All are even numbers (divisible by 2).
But let's check for more patterns.
Look at their digits:
- 12: ends in 2
- 24: ends in 4
- 32: ends in 2
- 44: ends in 4
They all end in even digits, but that’s just because they're even.

Try dividing by 4:
- 12 ÷ 4 = 3 → yes
- 24 ÷ 4 = 6 → yes
- 32 ÷ 4 = 8 → yes
- 44 ÷ 4 = 11 → yes
✔ All are multiples of 4!
