1. If x is a factor of 16 and y is a factor of 28, which is the least value that xy could be a factor of?

  • A. 448
  • B. 112
  • C. 2
  • D. 1

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The answer is D

List out the factors for both 16 and 28, putting the factors in pairs to be sure you catch all of them. x could be 1, 16, 2, 8, or 4. y could be 1, 28, 2, 14, 4, or 7. xy could be as small as 1 and as great as 448, but the least value xy could be a factor of is 1.
