Hi,
This is a fairly simple question but even I would please like to have an explanation for the same.
Q. If j is divisible by 12 and 10 then is j divisible by 24?
What I have done is:
12 = 2 x 2 x 3 and 10 = 2 x 5
24 = j x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
If we look at 12 and 10 then clearly we can say that we have sufficient information to prove that j is divisible by 24. Isn't it? But answer mentions it to be - 'Can't be determined'.
Thanks,
Kaushik K
