In this Class 10 Mathematics topic from the chapter Real Numbers, students learn that every integer greater than 1 can be expressed as a product of prime numbers, and that this prime factorisation is unique apart from the order of the factors. They practise finding prime factors and use the theorem to understand and determine the HCF and LCM of numbers. The topic builds clear reasoning about the structure of whole numbers and supports later work with divisibility and number relationships.

According to the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, every positive integer greater than 1 can be written in which form?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: This theorem is connected with prime factorisation. Step 2: Every positive integer greater than 1 can be written as a product of prime numbers. Step 3: In exams, remember it through prime factorisation.
What happens when the order of factors is changed in prime factorisation?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Changing the order in multiplication does not change the product. Step 2: (2\times5\times3) and (3\times2\times5) both give 30. Step 3: In prime factorisation, the set of factors matters, not the order.
Step 1: Write (99=9\times11). Step 2: (9=3^2) and 11 is prime, so (99=3^2\times11). Step 3: 9 and 33 are composite, so do not keep them in the final answer.
Step 1: A prime number has exactly two positive factors. Step 2: 47 is divisible only by 1 and 47, while 51, 57, and 63 are composite. Step 3: Check small numbers by 2, 3, 5, and 7.
Step 1: A composite number has more than two positive factors. Step 2: (91=7\times13), so it is composite. Step 3: If a number can be written as a product of smaller primes, it is composite.
Step 1: Write (105=15\times7). Step 2: (15=3\times5), so (105=3\times5\times7). Step 3: 15 is composite, so do not keep it in the final prime factorisation.
If (180=2^2\times3^2\times5), how many distinct prime factors does 180 have?
Correct answer: B
Step 1: Look at distinct prime factors, not their powers. Step 2: In (180=2^2\times3^2\times5), the distinct primes are 2, 3, and 5. Step 3: Even with a higher power, count the same prime once.
If two numbers have prime factorisations (2^4\times3) and (2^2\times3^2), what is their HCF?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: For HCF, take smaller powers of common prime factors. Step 2: The smaller power of (2) is 2 and of (3) is 1, so (2^2\times3=12). Step 3: Use smaller powers for HCF.
If two numbers have prime factorisations (2^4\times3) and (2^2\times3^2), what is their LCM?
Correct answer: C
Step 1: For LCM, take the highest powers of all prime factors. Step 2: The highest power of (2) is 4 and of (3) is 2, so (2^4\times3^2=144). Step 3: Use highest powers for LCM.
Step 1: Write (288=32\times9). Step 2: (32=2^5) and (9=3^2), so (288=2^5\times3^2). Step 3: 32 and 9 are composite, so write prime powers in the final form.
Why is 1 not written as a separate factor in prime factorisation?
Correct answer: A
Step 1: In prime factorisation, only prime factors are written. Step 2: 1 is not prime because it does not have exactly two positive factors. Step 3: Therefore, (1\times n) is not treated as prime factorisation.
Step 1: Co-prime numbers have no common factor except 1. Step 2: Therefore, their HCF is 1. Step 3: To identify co-prime numbers, check common prime factors.
