What is the smallest positive integer greater than 11 that leaves a remainder of 11 when divided by each of 44, 66, and 88?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 25

Cevap

The correct answer is 25.
The least common multiple of 4, 6, and 8 is 24, which is the smallest positive integer divisible by all three numbers. To leave a remainder of 1 upon division by each, we add 1 to 24, resulting in 25.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the least common multiple (LCM) of 4, 6, and 8.
\text{LCM}(4, 6, 8) = 24
Any positive integer divisible by 4, 6, and 8 must be a multiple of their least common multiple.
2
Add the desired remainder of 1 to the LCM.
24 + 1 = 25
Adding 1 to a common multiple guarantees that division by 4, 6, or 8 yields a remainder of 1.

Two positive integers aa and bb are in the ratio 3:83 : 8. If the least common multiple (LCM) of aa and bb is 360360, what is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of aa and bb?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 15

Cevap

The greatest common divisor of aa and bb is 15.
Any two positive integers in the ratio 3:83 : 8 can be written as 3g3g and 8g8g, where gg is their greatest common divisor. Because 33 and 88 are coprime (their GCD is 11), the least common multiple of 3g3g and 8g8g is 3×8×g=24g3 \times 8 \times g = 24g. Setting 24g=36024g = 360 and dividing by 2424 yields g=15g = 15.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Represent the two integers using their ratio and their greatest common divisor.
Let g=gcd(a,b)g = \gcd(a, b). Then a=3ga = 3g and b=8gb = 8g, where 33 and 88 share no common factors other than 11.
When two numbers are in reduced ratio p:qp : q, dividing both by their GCD leaves coprime factors pp and qq.
2
Express the LCM of aa and bb in terms of gg.
\text{LCM}(a, b) = 3 \times 8 \times g = 24g.
The LCM of two numbers pgp \cdot g and qgq \cdot g with gcd(p,q)=1\gcd(p, q) = 1 is pqgp \cdot q \cdot g.
3
Solve for gg using the given LCM value of 360360.
24g = 360 \implies g = 15.
Dividing the given LCM by the product of the coprime ratio components yields the GCD.

A positive integer nn has only two distinct prime factors, 22 and 33. If nn is a multiple of 1212, is not divisible by 88, and has exactly 1212 positive divisors, what is the value of nn?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 108

Cevap

The value of nn is 108.
Because nn has only 22 and 33 as prime factors, its prime factorization is n=2a×3bn = 2^a \times 3^b. Divisibility by 12=22×3112 = 2^2 \times 3^1 requires a2a \ge 2, and non-divisibility by 8=238 = 2^3 requires a<3a < 3, which forces a=2a = 2. Using the formula for total positive divisors, (2+1)(b+1)=12(2+1)(b+1) = 12, which simplifies to 3(b+1)=123(b+1) = 12 and gives b=3b = 3. Calculating n=22×33n = 2^2 \times 3^3 yields 108108.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up the prime factorization of nn
n=2a×3bn = 2^a \times 3^b where a1a \ge 1 and b1b \ge 1
The problem states that 22 and 33 are the only distinct prime factors of nn.
2
Determine the exact value of exponent aa
a=2a = 2
nn is divisible by 12=22×3112 = 2^2 \times 3^1 (so a2a \ge 2) but not by 8=238 = 2^3 (so a<3a < 3).
3
Determine the exact value of exponent bb
b=3b = 3
The total number of positive divisors is (a+1)(b+1)=(2+1)(b+1)=3(b+1)=12(a+1)(b+1) = (2+1)(b+1) = 3(b+1) = 12, which solves to b=3b = 3.
4
Calculate the value of nn
n=108n = 108
n=22×33=4×27=108n = 2^2 \times 3^3 = 4 \times 27 = 108.

For a positive integer NN, the greatest common divisor of NN and 360360 is 120120, and the least common multiple of NN and 450450 is 90009000. What is the value of NN?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3000

Cevap

The value of NN is 30003000.
Prime factorizing 360360, 120120, 450450, and 90009000 converts the GCD and LCM requirements into a system of min/max equations for the exponents of 22, 33, and 55. The condition gcd(N,360)=120\gcd(N, 360) = 120 dictates that the exponent of 33 in NN must be exactly 11, while the exponent of 22 is at least 33. The condition lcm(N,450)=9000\text{lcm}(N, 450) = 9000 dictates that the exponent of 22 must be exactly 33 and the exponent of 55 must be exactly 33. Combining these constraints gives N=23×31×53=3000N = 2^3 \times 3^1 \times 5^3 = 3000.

By writing x=15ax = 15a and y=15by = 15b with GCD(a,b)=1\text{GCD}(a, b) = 1, we derive ab=900015=600a \cdot b = \frac{9000}{15} = 600. Prime factorizing 600=8×3×25600 = 8 \times 3 \times 25 yields four coprime pairs (a,b)(a, b) with a<ba < b: (1,600)(1, 600), (3,200)(3, 200), (8,75)(8, 75), and (24,25)(24, 25). These yield candidate values for xx of 1515, 4545, 120120, and 360360, respectively. Checking the divisibility conditions, 1515 and 4545 are not multiples of 88, while 360360 is a multiple of 99. The only value of xx that is a multiple of 88 and not a multiple of 99 is 120120 (corresponding to a=8,b=75a = 8, b = 75). Hence y=15×75=1125y = 15 \times 75 = 1125, and yx=1125120=1005y - x = 1125 - 120 = 1005.

The number of positive divisors of an integer with prime factorization p1e1p2e2p_1^{e_1} p_2^{e_2} \dots is (e1+1)(e2+1)(e_1 + 1)(e_2 + 1) \dots. Given d(n)=15d(n) = 15, nn can be p14p^{14} or p4q2p^4 q^2. Given d(2n)=20d(2n) = 20, 2 must be a prime factor of nn with exponent 2, making n=22p4n = 2^2 p^4. Since nn is not divisible by 3, p3p \neq 3. Multiplying nn by 3 introduces 313^1 into the prime factorization, giving 3n=2231p43n = 2^2 \cdot 3^1 \cdot p^4. The total number of positive divisors is (2+1)(1+1)(4+1)=30(2+1)(1+1)(4+1) = 30.

1
Analyze the number of positive divisors of nn.
nn is either p14p^{14} or p4q2p^4 q^2 for distinct primes pp and qq.
The number of positive divisors of n=p1e1p2e2n = p_1^{e_1} p_2^{e_2} \dots is given by (e1+1)(e2+1)(e_1 + 1)(e_2 + 1) \dots. Since 15=15×1=5×315 = 15 \times 1 = 5 \times 3, the exponent structure must be 14 or 4 and 2.
2
Analyze the number of positive divisors of 2n2n.
n=22p4n = 2^2 p^4, where pp is a prime other than 2 and 3.
If n=p4q2n = p^4 q^2, multiplying by 2 increases the exponent of 2 by 1. If q=2q = 2, then n=22p4n = 2^2 p^4 and 2n=23p42n = 2^3 p^4, yielding (3+1)(4+1)=20(3 + 1)(4 + 1) = 20 divisors. Any other prime structure yields a different count.
3
Determine the prime factorization of 3n3n and count its positive divisors.
The number of divisors of 3n3n is 30.
Since nn is not divisible by 3, p3p \neq 3. Thus 3n=2231p43n = 2^2 \cdot 3^1 \cdot p^4, which has (2+1)(1+1)(4+1)=30(2 + 1)(1 + 1)(4 + 1) = 30 positive divisors.

1
Analyze the prime factorization of nn for prime factors 22 and 33.
The exponents of 22 and 33 in nn are both 11.
Since nn is a multiple of 66, it must contain at least one factor of 22 and one factor of 33. Because nn is not a multiple of 44, the exponent of 22 cannot exceed 11. Because nn is not a multiple of 99, the exponent of 33 cannot exceed 11.
2
Determine the remaining prime factors of nn using the total divisor count of nn.
n=2131p2n = 2^1 \cdot 3^1 \cdot p^2 for some prime p>3p > 3.
The number of positive divisors is given by d(n)=(1+1)(1+1)(ci+1)=12d(n) = (1+1)(1+1)\prod(c_i+1) = 12, which simplifies to 4(ci+1)=124\prod(c_i+1) = 12, so (ci+1)=3\prod(c_i+1) = 3. Since 33 is prime, there is exactly one additional prime factor pp with exponent c=2c = 2.
3
Verify with the divisor count of n2n^2.
d(n2)=(2(1)+1)(2(1)+1)(2(2)+1)=335=45d(n^2) = (2(1)+1)(2(1)+1)(2(2)+1) = 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 = 45.
Squaring nn doubles all prime exponents, so n2=2232p4n^2 = 2^2 \cdot 3^2 \cdot p^4, which has (2+1)(2+1)(4+1)=45(2+1)(2+1)(4+1) = 45 positive divisors, consistent with the given information.

A total of 360 identical notebooks are to be distributed equally among nn students, where n>1n > 1, such that each student receives an integer number of notebooks strictly greater than 1. If nn must be a multiple of 4, how many different values of nn are possible?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 11

Cevap

The total number of possible values for nn is 11.
To find the number of valid values of nn, prime factorize 360=23×32×51360 = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5^1. For nn to be a factor of 360 and a multiple of 4, the exponent of 2 must be 2 or 3 (2 choices), the exponent of 3 can be 0, 1, or 2 (3 choices), and the exponent of 5 can be 0 or 1 (2 choices), yielding 2×3×2=122 \times 3 \times 2 = 12 total factors of 360 that are multiples of 4. Excluding n=360n = 360, which results in 1 notebook per student, leaves 121=1112 - 1 = 11 valid values.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Prime factorize the total number of notebooks, 360.
360=23×32×51360 = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5^1
Prime factorization allows us to systematically count factors meeting specific divisibility conditions.
2
Calculate the number of factors of 360 that are multiples of 4.
2 choices for the exponent of 2 (222^2 or 232^3), 3 choices for the exponent of 3 (30,31,323^0, 3^1, 3^2), and 2 choices for the exponent of 5 (50,515^0, 5^1). Total factors = 2×3×2=122 \times 3 \times 2 = 12.
A factor is a multiple of 4 if and only if its prime factorization contains at least two factors of 2.
3
Apply the constraint that each student receives strictly more than 1 notebook.
If n=360n = 360, each student receives 360360=1\frac{360}{360} = 1 notebook, which violates the condition. Subtracting this case yields 121=1112 - 1 = 11 valid values.
The problem requires each student to receive an integer number of notebooks strictly greater than 1.

If the sum of a set of 77 consecutive odd integers is 105105, what is the median integer of the set?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 15

Cevap

The median integer of the set is 15.
For any set of evenly spaced numbers, such as consecutive odd integers, the arithmetic mean is equal to the median. Since the sum of the 77 integers is 105105, the mean is 105÷7=15105 \div 7 = 15. Therefore, the median of the set is 1515.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Apply the property of evenly spaced sets.
For consecutive odd integers, the mean of the set is equal to its median.
The numbers in an arithmetic sequence are symmetrically distributed around the middle value.
2
Calculate the arithmetic mean.
Mean = SumNumber of terms=1057=15\frac{\text{Sum}}{\text{Number of terms}} = \frac{105}{7} = 15.
Dividing the sum of the terms by the count gives the average value.
3
Determine the median.
Median = 1515.
Because mean equals median for evenly spaced sets, the median must be 15.

By finding the prime factorizations of the GCD (2231512^2 \cdot 3^1 \cdot 5^1) and LCM (243352712^4 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 5^2 \cdot 7^1), we determine the prime powers for mm and nn using min\min and max\max rules. The constraint that nn is divisible by 400=2452400 = 2^4 \cdot 5^2 fixes e2(n)=4e_2(n)=4 and e5(n)=2e_5(n)=2, which forces e2(m)=2e_2(m)=2 and e5(m)=1e_5(m)=1. The constraint that mm is divisible by 63=327163 = 3^2 \cdot 7^1 but not 189=3371189 = 3^3 \cdot 7^1 fixes e3(m)=2e_3(m)=2 and e7(m)=1e_7(m)=1. Evaluating m=22325171m = 2^2 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5^1 \cdot 7^1 gives 12601{}260.

The value of yxy - x is 285.
Expressing xx and yy as 15a15a and 15b15b yields ab=120ab = 120. Testing coprime pairs (a,b)(a,b) shows that only (5,24)(5, 24) gives values x=75x = 75 and y=360y = 360 that satisfy both constraints (75 is not a multiple of 9, and 360 is not a multiple of 25).

What is the remainder when 5995^{99} is divided by 1313?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 8

Cevap

The remainder when 5995^{99} is divided by 1313 is 88.
To find the remainder of 5995^{99} divided by 1313, find the repeating pattern of remainders for powers of 55 modulo 1313. The first four powers yield remainders 5,12,8,5, 12, 8, and 11. Since 541(mod13)5^4 \equiv 1 \pmod{13}, the remainders repeat every 44 powers. Dividing the exponent 9999 by 44 gives 99=4×24+399 = 4 \times 24 + 3. The remainder of 33 indicates that 5995^{99} has the exact same remainder modulo 1313 as 535^3, which is 88.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the remainders of powers of 5 modulo 13 to identify the repeating period length.
515(mod13)5^1 \equiv 5 \pmod{13}, 5212(mod13)5^2 \equiv 12 \pmod{13}, 538(mod13)5^3 \equiv 8 \pmod{13}, and 541(mod13)5^4 \equiv 1 \pmod{13}. The sequence of remainders repeats every 4 powers.
Integral powers modulo a positive integer exhibit periodic behavior.
2
Compute the remainder of the exponent 99 divided by the cycle length 4.
99÷4=2499 \div 4 = 24 with a remainder of 33.
The exponent's remainder modulo the cycle length determines which element in the periodic cycle gives the equivalent value.
3
Evaluate the 3rd term in the remainder cycle.
The 3rd element in the sequence (5,12,8,1)(5, 12, 8, 1) is 88.
An exponent congruent to 3(mod4)3 \pmod 4 yields the same remainder as 53(mod13)5^3 \pmod{13}.

At a chemical refining plant, a raw liquid compound containing Substance X, Substance Y, and an inert solvent is processed in two sequential purification phases. Initially, Substance X accounts for 0.250.25 of the total weight of the compound, and Substance Y accounts for 25\frac{2}{5} of the remaining weight, with the inert solvent comprising the rest. In Phase 1, 20%20\% of Substance X and 30%30\% of Substance Y are removed, while all of the inert solvent is retained. In Phase 2, a certain percentage p%p\% of the inert solvent present after Phase 1 is removed, while no other substances are removed. If Substance X represents exactly 40%40\% of the total weight of the compound remaining after Phase 2, what is the value of pp?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 80

Cevap

The value of pp is 80.
Assuming a total initial weight of 100 units, Substance X is 25 units and the remaining weight is 75 units. Substance Y is 25\frac{2}{5} of 75, which equals 30 units, leaving 45 units of inert solvent. After Phase 1, 20 units of Substance X and 21 units of Substance Y remain, along with the full 45 units of solvent. In Phase 2, Substance X (20 units) becomes 40%40\% of the total mixture, making the final total weight 200.40=50\frac{20}{0.40} = 50 units. Since Substance X and Substance Y together account for 20+21=4120 + 21 = 41 units, the remaining solvent after Phase 2 must be 5041=950 - 41 = 9 units. Reducing solvent from 45 units down to 9 units requires removing 45945=3645=80%\frac{45 - 9}{45} = \frac{36}{45} = 80\% of the solvent. Thus, p=80p = 80.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine initial component amounts using decimal and fractional breakdown.
In a 100-unit mixture, Substance X = 25 units, Substance Y = 30 units, and Inert Solvent = 45 units.
Substance X is 0.250.25 of the total (2525 units). Of the remaining 7575 units, Substance Y is 25×75=30\frac{2}{5} \times 75 = 30 units. The rest (7530=4575 - 30 = 45 units) is inert solvent.
2
Calculate remaining component amounts after Phase 1 percentage reductions.
Substance X = 20 units, Substance Y = 21 units, Inert Solvent = 45 units.
Removing 20%20\% of Substance X leaves 25×0.80=2025 \times 0.80 = 20 units. Removing 30%30\% of Substance Y leaves 30×0.70=2130 \times 0.70 = 21 units. No solvent is removed in Phase 1.
3
Determine the final total mixture weight using the final percentage of Substance X.
Final total mixture weight = 50 units.
Substance X (20 units) represents 40%40\% (0.400.40) of the final mixture after Phase 2, so the total weight is 200.40=50\frac{20}{0.40} = 50 units.
4
Formulate and solve the linear equation for pp.
p=80p = 80.
The total weight is the sum of all remaining components: 20+21+45(1p100)=5020 + 21 + 45\left(1 - \frac{p}{100}\right) = 50. Solving 41+45(1p100)=5041 + 45\left(1 - \frac{p}{100}\right) = 50 yields 45(1p100)=945\left(1 - \frac{p}{100}\right) = 9, so 1p100=0.201 - \frac{p}{100} = 0.20, giving p=80p = 80.
