Question Let us find some common factors of the numbers 24 and 36. Note that all jumps in the following questions start from 0.
(a) Can we jump by 2 steps at a time to reach both 24 and 36? Yes/No. 2 is/is not a common factor of 24 and 36. ,
(b) Can we jump by 3 steps at a time to reach both 24 and 36? Yes/No. 3 is/is not a common factor of 24 and 36.
(c) Can we jump by 4 steps at a time to reach both 24 and 36? Yes/No. 4 is/is not a common factor of 24 and 36.
(d) What other jumps can we take to reach b
(a)Yes, 2 is a common factor of 24 and 36.
(b) Yes, 3 is a common factor of 24 and 36.
(c) Yes, 4 is a common factor of 24 and 36.
(d) Jumps other than 2, 3 and 4 we can take to reach both 24 and 36 are 6 and 12 because 6 and 12 are common factors of 24 and 36.
(e) 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
(f) 1 is a factor of every number.
