Answer 1

Answer:

(1) F          (5) F            (9) T

(2) F          (6) F

(3) T          (7) F

(4) F          (8) F

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

290 is divisible by 17.

$\frac{290}{17}=(17\times17)+1$

On dividing 290 by 17 there is a remainder left, i.e. 1.

Thus, this statement is False, F.

(2)

360 divides 20.

$\frac{20}{360}=\frac{1}{18}$

On dividing 20 by 360 the result are in fractions.

Thus, this statement is False, F.

(3)

16 divides 208.

$\frac{208}{16}=(13\times16)+0$

On dividing 208 by 16 there is no remainder left.

Thus, this statement is True, T.

(4)

10 | 181

$\frac{181}{10}= (18\times10)+1$

On dividing 181 by 10 there is a remainder left, i.e. 1.

Thus, this statement is False, F.

(5)

17 divides 171

$\frac{171}{17} =(17\times10)+1$

On dividing 171 by 17 there is a remainder left, i.e. 1.

Thus, this statement is False, F.

(6)

176 | 16

$\frac{16}{176}= \frac{1}{11}$

On dividing 16 by 176 the result are in fractions.

Thus, this statement is False, F.

(7)

33653 is divisible by 188

$\frac{33653}{188} =(179\times188)+1$

On dividing 33653 by 188 there is a remainder left, i.e. 1.

Thus, this statement is False, F.

(8)

17878 is divisible by 177

$\frac{17878}{177} =(101\times177)+1$

On dividing 17878 by 177 there is a remainder left, i.e. 1.

Thus, this statement is False, F.

(9)

13 | 221

$\frac{221}{13}= (17\times13)+0$

On dividing 221 by 13 there is no remainder left.

Thus, this statement is True, T.
