Playing with Numbers NCERT Class 6 Maths Questions and
Answers
This worksheet is for class 6 maths, comprising the topic of Numbers. It will help
students to have a better understanding of numbers.
After solving the worksheet, students will have a better understanding of the following
concepts:
1. Comparison of numbers as greater or lesser
2. Factors and multiples
3. Prime factors & Prime factorisation
4. HCF and LCM.
I. Comparison of Numbers
To compare any numbers, we must first check the number of digits in each number. The
number with more digits is greater than the number with lesser digits.
For example, let’s compare 23 & 458. We can see that 23 has 2 digits while 458 has 3.
Therefore, 458 becomes the greater number since it has a larger number of digits than
23.
With numbers having the same number of digits, we need to compare the digits from the
left most place until we come across unequal digits. Then, we identify the greater of the
unequal digits and identify the greater numbers.

2. 2/13
For example, let’s compare 1,469 and 1,463. Since the number of digits in both numbers
are the same (that is 4), we must compare the digits from the left. Now 1, 4 and 6 are
common among both numbers from the left. The unequal digits are 9 & 3 and since 9 is
the greater number of the two, 1,469 is greater than 1,463.
II. Factors & Multiples 
To understand factors & multiples, we must first know the concept of divisibility. Make
sure to practise your knowledge of division at Takshila Learning.
II.I Factors 
Now, if a number (dividend) is exactly divided by any number (divisor), the divisor is a
factor of that dividend. For example, when we divide 100 (dividend) by 5 (divisor), it
leaves no remainder and divides completely with 20 being the quotient. Thus we can say
that 5 is a factor.
If you notice carefully, even 20 is a factor because even it can divide 100 completely,
leaving no remainder and quotient as 5. Thus we can say that for any number which is
divided into another number and leaves no remainder, then both the divisor and the
quotient is a factor of the dividend.
To put it another way, When a number is considered to be a factor of another number, it
means that the first number must entirely divide the second number, leaving no
remainder.
Now a fun thing to notice here! Each number has 1 as a common component since we
can divide all numbers by 1. Therefore, 1 is a factor for all numbers.
Another fun thing to notice is that each number is a factor of itself since every number
will divide itself completely. For example, 20 is divisible by 20. Therefore, 20 is a factor of
itself!
Similarly, when we divide 30 by 5, it leaves no remainder and the quotient becomes 6.
Thus we can say that 5, 30 and 1 are factors of 30.
II.II Multiples 
A multiple of a number is the result of multiplying a given integer by another natural
number. For example, multiples of 2 are 2 (2X1), 4 (2X2), 6 (2X3), 8 (2X4), etc.
A quick tip to keep in mind is that whenever we need to calculate multiples, we can
simply come up with the table of those particular numbers and calculate multiples.
III. Prime Factors & Prime Factorisation 
III.I Prime Factors 

3. 3/13
prime factorisation of 12
Every prime number that is a factor of a number is called a prime factor. For example,
the factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, and 30 since all of these numbers divide 30
completely. Now the prime factors out of these factors are 2, 3, and 5 since these are the
only numbers that are prime numbers.
III.II Prime Factorisation 
Prime factorization is a method of expressing a number as a product of its prime factors.
To do so, we simply break down numbers as products of smaller factors until we can
come down to only prime numbers.
For example, let’s see the prime factorisation of 12.
We first break down 12 as a product of 2 and 6. Then we
can see that 6 can be broken down further as a product
of prime numbers 2 & 3. Therefore, the prime
factorisation of 12 is the product of the numbers in
circles, that is, 2X2X3.
IV. HCF & LCM
III.I Highest Common Factor (HCF) 
The HCF or the greatest common factor is the common
factor of 2 numbers that is the greatest among all other
factors. For example, let’s calculate the HCF of 10 & 20.
First we will list all the factors of both numbers –
10 – 1, 2, 5, 10
20 – 1, 2, 5, 10, 20
Since, 1, 2, 5 and 10 are the common factors of both these numbers and 10 is the
highest among them, 10 becomes the HCF or the GCF for 10 & 20.
III.II Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) 
The LCM is the common multiple of 2 numbers that is the lowest among all other
multiples. For example, let’s calculate the LCM of 5 & 6.
Here, we calculate the first few multiples of 5 & 6 and notice that 30 is the first common
multiple of the two numbers. If we keep continuing to find common multiples further, they
will all be greater than 30. Therefore, 30 is the LOWEST Common Multiple.
Now that we have all these concepts in mind, let’s practise a few questions!
