Prime Time — Every Number Has a Secret Recipe

Looking for a class 6 math worksheet or maths worksheet for class 6 with answers? This comprehensive resource covers everything you need. Think of prime numbers as the atoms of mathematics. Just like everything in the universe is made of atoms, every whole number greater than 1 is either a prime number or can be broken down into prime numbers. The number 12=2×2×312 = 2 \times 2 \times 3. The number 45=3×3×545 = 3 \times 3 \times 5. This is called prime factorisation.

The NCERT Ganita Prakash textbook introduces primes through factor trees, the Sieve of Eratosthenes, and real-life applications like finding common factors (HCF) and common multiples (LCM).

This Prime Time Class 6 worksheet has 60 questions covering every concept in this important chapter.

Beyond this worksheet, SparkEd offers interactive online practice for Prime Time with step-by-step solutions and progress tracking.

What Does This Worksheet Cover?

Aligned with NCERT Ganita Prakash Chapter 5 — Prime Time:

- Factors and multiples — listing all factors, first 10 multiples
- Prime and composite numbers — identification up to 100
- Sieve of Eratosthenes — finding all primes up to a given number
- Prime factorisation — using factor trees and repeated division
- HCF (Highest Common Factor) — by listing and by prime factorisation
- LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) — by listing and by prime factorisation
- Divisibility rules — for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11

| Level | Focus | Count |
|-------|-------|-------|
| Level 1 | Identify primes/composites, list factors/multiples, divisibility checks | 20 |
| Level 2 | Prime factorisation, HCF by listing, LCM by listing | 20 |
| Level 3 | HCF/LCM by prime factorisation, word problems, reasoning | 20 |

Sample Questions

Level 1 — Warm Up

  1. List all factors of 3636.
  2. Which of these are prime numbers? 17,21,29,33,37,5117, 21, 29, 33, 37, 51
  3. Is 11 a prime number? Explain.

Level 2 — Build Confidence

  1. Find the prime factorisation of 120120 using a factor tree.
  2. Find the HCF of 2424 and 3636 by listing all factors of each.
  3. Find the LCM of 1212 and 1818 by listing multiples.

Level 3 — Push Yourself

  1. Find HCF and LCM of 4848, 7272, and 108108 using prime factorisation.
  2. Two bells ring at intervals of 1515 minutes and 2020 minutes. If they both ring at 9:00 AM, when will they next ring together?
  3. The HCF of two numbers is 66 and their LCM is 180180. If one number is 3636, find the other number. (Hint: HCF ×\times LCM = Product of the two numbers.)

Tips for Prime Time Problems

Tips for Prime Time Problems

1. Remember: 1 is neither prime nor composite. This is a common exam trick. The smallest prime is 2, and it is also the only even prime.

2. Use divisibility rules to speed up factorisation. Before dividing, check: is the number even (divisible by 2)? Does it end in 0 or 5 (divisible by 5)? Is the digit sum divisible by 3? This saves time.

3. Factor trees can branch differently but give the same result. Whether you start by dividing 60 by 2 or by 3, the prime factorisation is always 22×3×52^2 \times 3 \times 5.

4. HCF uses the smallest powers, LCM uses the largest. When you have the prime factorisation of both numbers, pick the lower power for HCF and the higher power for LCM.

5. For word problems, identify whether you need HCF or LCM. If you are dividing things into groups (cutting, sharing equally) you need HCF. If you are finding when events coincide (bells ringing together) you need LCM.
