8. A number has 8 and 9 as two of its factors. How many times between 12:00 PM and 12:00
What other factors does that number have? AM (midnight) will the network experience
a slowdown due to all three scripts running
(a) 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72 simultaneously? (Critical Thinking)

(b) 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24 (a) 1 (b) 2
(c) 3 (d) 4
(c) 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 18, 36, 72
10. A teacher is arranging seating for a class of
(d) 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 36, 72 students in rows, with each row having 36,
48, or 60 seats. The teacher wants to place

remaining? (Critical Thinking)
All three scripts were triggered at 12:00 PM.
A technician notices that the network slows (a) 711 (b) 720
down significantly only when at least two
scripts run at the exact same time. (c) 729 (d) 738

We are given that three numbers—A, B, and C—satisfy the following conditions:

1. The highest common factor (HCF) of any two of these numbers is the same
prime number (p). Specifically:

• The HCF of A and B is (p).
• The HCF of B and C is (p).
• The HCF of A and C is (p).
2. The least common multiple (LCM) of all three numbers (A, B, and C) is

p × p × q × r .
3. Each of A, B, and C is a composite number, and no two numbers are equal.

What is the smallest possible value for the sum A + B + C in terms of p, q and r.

(a) r(p + p + pr) (b) q(p + r + pr)

(c) p(q + r + qr) (d) p(pr + q)
