3) There are various answers possible. Accept b)1 and 3


any pair of numbers that are multiples of 6.
For example, 12 and 18.

4) 5, 25, 50

1) Jia is correct because the 24 and 36 have six factors in common, which are 1,
2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
2) Statement A is sometimes true because square numbers have an odd number of
factors. For example, the factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16.

Statement B is never true because every number has 1 as a factor. Therefore, any pair
of numbers will always have 1 as a common factor.

Statement C is sometimes true. For example, 45 and 15 (odd numbers) have three
common factors: 1, 3 and 5. 28 and 48 (even numbers) also have three common
factors: 1, 2 and 4. This proves that pairs of even numbers do not always have more
common factors than odd numbers.

3) Priya’s statement is false because 1 and 48 are also factors of 48.


4) Answers may vary.
For example, C could be the odd one out because 15 and 35 only have two common
factors (1 and 5).

six factors in common.
