total no of possible factors= 144.
total number that has 6 as common factor= 81
so total number of factor that doesn't have 6= 144-81 = 63
Your approach is very interesting and what I like very laconic, unfortunately i didnt understand how you get 81...

We have 15 number, x1, x2....x15 We need to find x1 and x15 We know that the median is x8=25 => x1= 25-7 = 18 We know that x15 -x1 = 25 (*) Replace x1 = 18 into (*) we have x15 - 18 = 25 Thus x15 = 25 + 18 = 43 can anybody explain me why we are assuming that 7 numbers to the left from the median sh...

different way but the same answer We are told that 4 people have exactly 1 sibling. This would account for 2 sibling relationships (e.g. AB and CD). We are also told that 3 people have exactly 2 siblings. This would account for another 3 sibling relationships (e.g. EF, EG, and FG). Thus, there are 5...

the answer is 12, vertices with coordinates:
(-10,0)
(-8,6)
(-6,8)
(0,10)
(6,8)
(8,6)
(10,0)
(8, -6)
(6, -8)
(0, 10)
(-6, -8)
(-8, -6)

There are 12 different ways to draw ab, and so there are 12 ways to draw abcd.

Coordinate plane

A certain square is to be drawn on a coordinate plane. One of the vertices must be on the origin, and the square is to have an area of 100. If all coordinates of the vertices must be integers, how many different ways can this square be drawn?
4
6
8
10
12 :roll:

Number properties

For any integer k > 1, the term “length of an integer� refers to the number of positive prime factors, not necessarily distinct, whose product is equal to k. For example, if k = 24, the length of k is equal to 4, since 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3. If x and y are positive integers such that x > 1, y > ...

Function f(n)

GMAT GURUs! Please help me:) The function f is defined for all positive integers n by the following rule: f(n) is the number of positive integers each of which is less than n and has no positive factor in common with n other than 1. If p is any prime number then f(p)= A. p-1 B. p-2 C. (p+1)/2 D. (p...
