If a number is divisible by 3 and 5, then the number is always divisible by:
a) All the multiples of 3
b) All the multiples of 5
c) All the multiples of 15
d) Only 15
Answers
Answer:
d) only 15
Step-by-step explanation:
A number is divisible by 3 when the sum of the absolute values of its numbers is a multiple of 3.
Example, the number 12 is divisible by 3 because the sum of 1 + 2 is multiplied by 3
A number is divisible by 5 when it ends in zero or five.
The number 10 is divisible by 5 because it ends in ZERO
The number 15 is divisible by 3 and by 5
The number 15 is divisible by 3 since 1 + 5 = 6 and 6 is a multiple of 3
The number 15 is divisible by 5 since it ends in 5
If a number is divisible by 3 and 5, then the number is always divisible by Only 15
"If Any number is divisible by two numbers a and b then number is always
divisible by LCM ( a , b)"
LCM - Least common multiplier of given numbers is the least number which is perfectly divisible by given numbers.
LCM = product of each factor of highest power
Given that Number if Divisible by both 3 and 5
3 and 6 are prime numbers
Hence LCM ( 3 , 5 ) = 15
Hence , Number if always divisible by 15
Lets check other options
with an example
Number 45 is divisible by 3 and 5 as well as 15
Number 45 is not divisible by 60 where 60 is a multiple of 3 as well multiple of 5 and 15
Hence option a , b and c are not correct
So correct option is d) only 15
