42 and 84 both qualify
Yes, both.
42
42 and 49 are both divisible by 7. 42/49= 6/7
42 is a composite number as it is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 42.
42 and 84 both qualify
21. GCF means what is the greatest number that goes into both, and 21*2=42.
Numbers that are divisible by both 6 and 7 must be divisible by the least common multiple of 6 and 7, which is 42. Therefore, the numbers divisible by both 6 and 7 are multiples of 42. This includes numbers like 42, 84, 126, and so on.
The difference between a number and its reverse must be divisible by 9. 42 is NOT divisible by 9. There is, therefore, no such number.
Both are divisible by 6.
Yes, both.
42 is divisible by 2 (and other factors) so it is a composite number
42
42 and 49 are both divisible by 7. 42/49= 6/7
First, using your 2 divisibility rule, we find that both are even, therefore both are divisible by 2. Now, using the 3 divisibility rule, we know that 1 + 2 + 8 + 1 = 12, and 4 + 2 = 6, both multiples of 3. Thus, it must be divisible by 3 and 2, and it must divisible by 6! If so, then dividing both by 6 yields:1218/6 = 203, 42/6 = 7.Now both values are prime, therefore, 6 is the GCF of 1218 and 42.
The list is infinite. Here are some of them: 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42.
Well, honey, you add up the digits of 42 (which gives you 4+2=6) and if that sum is divisible by 3, then the original number is also divisible by 3. In this case, 6 is divisible by 3, so yes, 42 is divisible by 3. Math can be fun when you know the tricks!
