If r and s are positive integers, is r/s an integer?

1. Every factor of s is also a factor of r
2. Every prime factor of s is also a factor of r

Hi Mitch,
In the above question's option A is r = s in value?
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

In A,
r = p*s

where p is an Integer..[/quote]

IMO:D

I don't think r needs to be equal to s.

If r and s are positive integers, is r/s an integer?
1. Every factor of s is also a factor of r
If every factor of s is also a factor of r then r = k * s, where k is an Integer and r/s= k, an Integer. Hence, Sufficient !
2. Every prime factor of s is also a factor of r
e.g.1 s = 2, r = 4 prime factor = 2, r/s is an Integer
e.g.2 s = 8, r = 4 prime factor = 2, r/s is not an Integer

Hence Insufficient!

+1 for A!

Needed some thought into it! :)
If OA is A, IMO B
If OA is B, IMO C
If OA is C, IMO D
If OA is D, IMO E
If OA is E, IMO A

FML!! :/
