(i) 93573
Given number is not divisible by 6 as because, it is not divided by 2.
(ii) 217944
Since the unit’s digit in the given number is 4, so the given number is divisible by 2.
Also the sum of the digits = 2 + 1 + 7 + 9 + 4 + 4 = 27, which is divisible by 3, so the given number is divisible by 3.
Therefore, the given number 217944 is divisible by 6
(iii) 5034126
Since the unit digit in the given number is 6, so the given number is divisible by 2.
Also the sum of the digits = 5 + 0 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 6 = 18, which is divisible by 3
Therefore, the given number 5034126 is divided by 6.
(iv) 901352
The sum of the digits – 9 + 0 + 1 + 3 + 5 +2 = 20, Not divided by 3
Therefore, the given number is not divided by 6
(v) 639210
Since the unit digit in the given number is 0, which is divided by 2.
The sum of the digits – 6 + 3 + 9 + 2 + 1 + 0 = 21, divided by 3
Therefore, the given number is divided by 6.
(vi) 1790184
Since the unit digit of the given number is 4, therefore the number is divided by 2
The sum of the digit = 1 + 7 + 9 + 0 + 1 + 8 + 4 = 30, divided by 3
Therefore, the given number is divisible by 6.
(6) In each of the following replace * by a digit so that the number formed is divisible by 9:
(i) 4710*82
Sum of the given digit = 4 + 7 + 1 + 0 + 8 + 2 = 22
If we add 5, it becomes 27, which is divisible by 9
Therefore, * is to be replaced by 5
The number formed is 4710582, which is divisible by 9
(ii)70*356722
The sum of the digits 7 + 0 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 2 + 2 = 32
If we add 4 with the sum, therefore the number become 36, which is divided by 9
Therefore * is to be replaced by 4
The number is -704356722
(7) In each of the following replace * by (i) the smallest digit (ii) the greatest digit so that the number formed is divisible by 3:
Solution: (a) 4*672
Sum of digits (except *) = 2 + 7 + 6 + 4 = 19,
If * is replaced by 2, then
Sum of the digits 19 + 2 = 21, which is de3vided by 3
So, * is to be replaced by 2
(b) 4756*2
Sum of digits (except *) = 4 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 2 = 24
24 already divided by 3,
So, we can replaced * by O
(8) In each of the following ‘*’ by a digit so that the number formed is divisible by 11:
(i) 8*9484
Solution: In 8*9484, * occurs at odd places.
Sum of digits at odd places (except *) = 4 + 4 = 8
Sum of digits at even places = 8 + 9 + 8 = 25
Their difference = 25 – 8 = 17
If * is replaced by 6, then sum of digits at odd places = 4 + 4 + 6 = 16
Then their difference = 25 – 16 = 11, which is divisible by 11 so that the number formed will be divisible by 11
∴ * is to be replaced by the digit 6
(ii) 9*53762
Solution: * occurs at even places.
Sum of digits at odd places = 2 + 7 + 5 + 9 = 23
Sum of digits at even places (Except *) = 6 + 3 = 9
Their difference = 23 – 9 = 14
If * is replaced by 3
Then sum of digits at even places = 6 + 3 + 3 = 12
Then their difference = 23 – 12 = 11, which is divisible by 11
∴ * is to be replaced by 3
(10) Which of the following numbers are prime:
(i) 101
Solution: (i) As 10 x 10 = 100 < 101 and 11 x 11 = 121 > 101
So 10 is the largest number such that 10 x 10 ≤ 101. The prime numbers less than or equal to 10 are 2, 3, 5, 7
Note that, 101 is not divisible by any of 2, 3, 5, 7
Therefore, 101 is a prime number.
(ii) 251
Solution: As 15 x 15 = 225 < 251 and 16 x 16 = 256 > 251
So 15 is the largest number such that 15 x 15 ≤ 251. The prime numbers less than or equal to 15 is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
Here this number 251 is not divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
Therefore, 251 is a prime number.
(iii) 323
Solution: As 17 x 17 = 289 > 323 and 18 x 18 = 324 > 323
So 17 is the largest number such that 17 x 17 ≤ 323. The prime numbers less than or equal to 17 is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
Here the number 323 is not divided by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
Therefore, 323 is a prime number
(iv) 397
Solution: As 19 x 19 = 361 < 397 and 20 x 20 = 400 > 397
So, 19 is the largest number such that 19 x 19 ≤ 397. The prime numbers less than or equal to 19 is 2, 3, 5, 7 , 11, 17, 19
Here the number 397 is not divided by 2, 3, 5, 7 , 11, 17, 19

(12) A number is divisible by 12. By what other numbers will that be divisible?
Solution: The other number is = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
(13) A number is divisible by 3 and 8 both. By which other numbers will that number be always divisible?
Solution: Let a natural number, say n, be divisible by both 3 and 8.
As 3 and 8 are co prime numbers, using property 2, n is divisible by 3 x 8 = 24 i.e. 24.
Thus. The given number is always divisible by 24
In fact, this given number must be divisible by all the factors of 24 (using property 1).
The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
