The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is true for the numbers 56 and 84, we will analyze the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify if 56 and 84 are prime numbers:** - A prime number has only two factors: 1 and itself. - 56 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56 (not prime). - 84 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84 (not prime). - **Conclusion:** Neither 56 nor 84 is a prime number. **Hint:** Check the definition of prime numbers and list the factors of each number. 2. **Check if 56 and 84 are co-prime:** - Co-prime numbers have no common factors other than 1. - The common factors of 56 and 84 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28. - **Conclusion:** They are not co-prime since they have common factors other than 1. **Hint:** List the factors of both numbers and identify any common factors. 3. **Determine if both are factors of 14:** - Factors of 14 are: 1, 2, 7, 14. - 56 is not a factor of 14. - 84 is not a factor of 14. - **Conclusion:** Neither 56 nor 84 is a factor of 14. **Hint:** List the factors of 14 and check if 56 and 84 are included. 4. **Check if both are odd numbers:** - Odd numbers are not divisible by 2. - 56 is even (divisible by 2). - 84 is even (divisible by 2). - **Conclusion:** Neither 56 nor 84 is an odd number. **Hint:** Check the divisibility of each number by 2. 5. **Final Conclusion:** - Since none of the options are true, we conclude that none of the statements provided (both are prime numbers, both are co-prime, both are factors of 14, both are odd numbers) are correct. ### Summary of Findings: - 56 and 84 are not prime numbers. - They are not co-prime. - They are not factors of 14. - They are not odd numbers. **Final Answer:** None of the statements are true for 56 and 84.
