Answer key · Set B
Rows, factors and primes
17 Count one row: 7 plants. 3 × 7 = 21, so 7 is the partner of 3.
28 Count one row: 8 cookies. 5 × 8 = 40.
3C Tray A has 4 × 5 = 20, tray B has 3 × 5 = 15 and tray C has 3 × 6 = 18.
44 7 rows of 4 tiles make 28.
5No Count by 6s: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. You jump over 27, so it is not a multiple of 6.
612 3 × 12 = 36, so 12 is a factor. 72 is a multiple of 36, and 8 does not go into 36.
7Composite 3 × 9 = 27, so 27 has more than two factors. It is composite.
81-D, 2-A, 3-C, 4-B
98 The factors are 1, 24, 2, 12, 3, 8, 4 and 6. Each pair gives two factors, so there are 8.
102, 6, 9 2 × 9 = 18, 3 × 6 = 18, so 2, 6 and 9 are factors. 4 and 12 do not go into 18.
11True 13 has only two factors, 1 and 13. A number like that is prime.
121, 4, 2, 3 11 has 2 factors (1, 11), 25 has 3 (1, 5, 25), 10 has 4 (1, 2, 5, 10) and 18 has 6 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18).
