2250 250 is divisible by 125 and


hence 2250 is also divisible by 125.

Steps to find whether a given number is prime number or not:


1. Find the least positive integer, a such that a 2 > given number.
2. Test the divisibility of given number by every prime number that is less than a.
3. The given number is a prime number only if it is not divisible by any of these primes.

E.g. Check whether 923 is a prime number or not?

3.
a)

923 lies between 900 and 961 which are perfect squares having square roots 30 and 31 respectively.
Prime numbers less than 31 are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29.
923 are not divisible by any of these numbers and hence it is a pri me number.
To find the number in the unit place for odd numbers: When there is an odd digit in the unit place except 5,
multiply the number by itself until you gets 1 in the unit place.

(... 1) n = ( 1)

(... 3) 4 n = ( 1)
(... 7) 4 n = ( 1)

(... 9) 2 n = ( 1) where n = 1, 2, 3, . . .
b) To find the number in the units place for even numbers: When there is an even digit in the unit place, multiply
the number by itself until you gets 6 in the unit place.

(... 2) 4 n = ( 6)
(... 4) 2 n = ( 6)
(... 6) n = ( 6)
(... 8) 4 n = ( 6) where n = 1, 2, 3, . . .
c) If there is 1, 5 or 6 in the units place of the given number: If there is 1, 5 or 6 in the unit place of the given
number, then after any times of its multiplication, it will have the same digit in the unit place.

(... 1) n = ( 1)
(... 5) n = ( 5)

(... 6) n = ( 6) where n = 1, 2, 3, . . .

A number when divided by 160 leaves a remainder 52 and the quotient is 15. Find the number.
Sol: Here, the required number is dividend.
Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
= (160 x 15) + 52
= 2452

3.

Find the least number of 5 digits which is exactly divisible by 642.


Sol: The least number of 5 digits is 10,000.
Dividing this number by 642, the remainder is 370.
So, the required number is 10,000 + (642 - 370) = 10272.

4.

Find the greatest number of 5 digits which is exactly divisible by 642.


Sol: The greatest number of 5 digits is 99,999.
Dividing this number by 642, the remainder is 489.
So, the required number is 99,999 - 489 = 99510.

5.

Find the number nearest to 14800 which is exactly divisible by 245.


Sol: The remainder on dividing 14800 by 245 is 100.
So, the number required number = 14800 100 = 14700 which is exactly divisible by 245.

6.

Find whether 577 is a prime number.


Sol: (24) 2 = 576 < 577 and (25) 2 = 625 > 577
n = 25
Prime numbers less than 25 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 and 23.
Since, 577 is not divisible by any of these numbers, it is a prime number.

7.

How many numbers up to 531 are divisible by 15?


Sol: Divide 531 by 15.
531 = 35 x 15 + 6
The quotient is the required number and here it is 35.
So, there are 35 numbers up to 531 are divisible by 15.
