Question

Amy writes down a positive whole number.

Her number has a remainder of 5 when divided by 6

Her number has more than two factors.

Work out the lowest possible number that Amy could have written down.

Answer 1

Answer:

So, √68, 5√3 is unlike surds. So, 4√18, 7 √2 is like surds. So, 19√12, 6√3 is like surds. So, 5√22,7√33 is unlike surds.

Answer 2

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

let the positive whole number be x

Using the formula,

dividend=divisor × quotient + remainder

x= 6×q+5

Now,by using hit and trial method

if we put q=1

then x=11

our no. should have more than 2 factors so 11 is not the number

similarly, by putting different numbers,

q=5

x=6×5+5=35

so the answer is 35
