Ríddhi and Siddhi are siblings. After completing their school homework both are confused about what to play.

Riddhi: Hey! I am very confused, about what we play.
Siddki: Yes! You are right. I want to play an interesting game.
Mother: You should play a game with dice, the name of the game is ‘Challenge Accepted’. It is a very interesting game, and the rules of the game are:
- One by one, both the players will throw the dice.
- The first player will throw a die and give a challenge to the second player to tell the first 5 multiples of the number that comes on the die.
- By telling the correct multiples of that number, the player will win the round.
Rlddki: Wow! It sounds interesting. Let’s play.
Suppose, you are playing this game with your friend. Your friend throws the dice, and some numbers come, write the first five multiples of those numbers in the blanks given below.
If number 1 comes, then the Just 5 multiples of 1 are ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
If number 2 comes, then the first 5 multiples of 2 are ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
If number 3 comes, then the first 5 multiples of 3 are ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
If number 4 comes, then the first 5 multiples of 4 are ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
If number 5 comes, then the first 5 multiples of 5 are ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
If number 6 comes, then the first 5 multiples of 6 are ___, ___, ___, ___, ___
Thus, if a particular number is multiplied by the natural numbers, we get the multiples of that particular number. Or, a multiple of a number is obtained by multiplying it with a natural number.

Factors
Juhi has collected some flowers from the garden for making a rangoli pattern on Navratri festival. Among the flowers, she has 18 marigold flowers, and she wants to arrange them in different orders. Help Juhi to represent these 18 marigold flowers in different orders. That is 2 × 9, 3 × 6, 6 × 3 and 9 × 2.
One arrangement has been shown here.

When two or more numbers are multiplied, then the result is called the product of those numbers, and the numbers themselves are called the factors of this product.
Here, 18 can be written as a product of two numbers in different ways as:
1 × 18, 2 × 9, 3 × 6, 9 × 2, 6 × 3, and 18 × 1.
So, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18 are the factors of the number 18.
Also, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18 are the exact divisors of 18.
Similarly, 1, 3, 5, and 15 are the factors of the number 15.
Hence, a factor of a number is also an exact divisor of that number.
Question 8.
Write all the possible factors of the following numbers:
(a) 12
(b) 14
(c) 18
(d) 24
(e) 36
(f) 42

(a) 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
(b) 1, 2, 7, 14
(c) 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
(d) 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
(e) 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

‘Between two given numbers, the greater one has always more number of factors’. Is the statement true? Justify your answer.
Answer:
No
PRIME FACTORISATION
We know that a number can be written as the product of two or more factors of that number. Expressing a number as the product of its factors is called factorisation.
The factors of a number may be prime or composite. The composite factor can be further split into prime numbers.

Thus, expressing a number into its prime factors is called prime factorisation.
There are two methods to factorise a number into its prime factors.
(i) Factor tree method: We first split the given number into two factors and then extend the branch. If the factor is a composite number, split it further. Continue the process till we arrive at all prime factors.

Let us take the number 48 and factorise it.
Think of a factor pair, say 48 = 6 × 8.
Write the factor pair of 6 i.e., 6 = 2 × 3
Think of a factor pair of 8 i.e., 8 = 2 × 4
Write the factor pair of 4 i.e., 4 = 2 × 2
Thus, 48 = 2 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 or
48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
Question 19.
Complete the following factor-trees.

Answer:

Question 20.
Find the prime factors of the following numbers using the factor-tree method.
(a) 6
(b) 42
(c) 48
(d) 54
(e) 72
(f) 81
(ii) Division Method: In this method, we divide the given number which is to be factorise by the least prime numbers progressively till the quotient 1.
Let us take a number 108 and find the prime factorisation by division method.

Prime Factors of108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3.
Question 21.
Find the prime factors of the following numbers by division method.
(a) 144
(b) 256
(c) 512
Answer:

Using prime factorisation to check If one number Is divisible by another:
If one number is divisible by another, the prime factorisation of the second number is included in the prime factorisation of the first number.
Let us check if 160 is divisible by 24 or not.
First, find the prime factorisations of both numbers.
160 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 and 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3.
As we can see the prime factor 3 is present in prime factorisation of 24 but not in prime factorisation of 160. So, 160 is not divisible by 24.
Question 22.
Is the first number divisible by the second? Use prime factorisation.
(a) 172, 12
(b) 225, 3
(c) 256, 18
(d) 324, 16
Answer:
(a) No
(b) Yes
(c) No
TEST OF DIVISIBILITY
Certain divisibility tests are used to test the divisibility of a number without performing actual division.
| A Number is Divisible by | Divisibility Rules | Example |
| 2 | If the digit at ones place of the number is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8. | 1440, 1832, 4384, 1446, and 2768 are divisible by 2 as the last digits of the given numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. |
| 4 | If the number formed by its digits at tens and units place (last two digits) is divisible by 4. | 2624 is divisible by 4 as the last two digits 24 is divisible by 4. |
| 5 | If the last (units) digit is either 0 or 5. | 1250, 4005, 7615, 8500, etc. are all divisible by 5 as they end in 0 or 5. |
| 8 | If the number formed by the last three digits (units, tens, and hundreds) of the given number is divisible by 8. | 64336 is divisible by 8 as the last three digits 336 is divisible by 8. |
| 10 | If its unit digit is 0. | 930, 7500, 4850, and 4090 are all divisible by 10. |
Question 23.
Using the divisibility tests, check whether the given numbers are divisible by 2, 4, 5, 8, and 10.
