2. Question 2

   1 mark

   Is 7 a factor of 84?

   A. Yes, because 7 × 11 = 84

   B. No

   C. Yes, because 7 × 12 = 84

   D. No, 84 is odd

   (1 mark)

   Marking scheme

   C. Yes, because $7\times 12=84$ — a factor divides exactly with nothing left over, and $84÷7=12$. A gives $77$, not $84$, and D is wrong on two counts since $84$ is even.

   (1 mark)

   Marking scheme

   B. $60$ — 'quotient' means the result of dividing: $1,800÷30$. Cancel a zero from each to get $180÷3=60$. D and A misjudge that cancelling.

10. Question 10

    3 marks

    Mama Njeri packs $75$ mangoes into bags, putting $6$ mangoes in each bag. How many full bags does she get, and how many mangoes are left over?

    (3 marks)

    Marking scheme

    Divide the mangoes into groups of $6$: $75÷6$. Since $6\times 12=72$ and $6\times 13=78$ (too many), the quotient is $12$. Remainder $=75-72=3$. So $75÷6=12$ remainder $3$. She fills $12$ bags and $3$ mangoes are left over.

11. Question 11

16. Question 16

    1 mark

    Find the remainder: 257 ÷ 5 = ___ remainder ___

    A. 50 remainder 7

    B. 52 remainder 3

    C. 51 remainder 1

    D. 51 remainder 2

    (1 mark)

    Marking scheme

    D. $51$ remainder $2$ — $5\times 51=255$, leaving $257-255=2$. The remainder must be smaller than the number you divide by, which rules out C's remainder of $7$.
