If x and y are positive integers, is xy a multiple of 8 ?
(1) The greatest common divisor of x and y is 10.
(2) The least common multiple of x and y is 100.
Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
根据第一个条件,把10分解成质因子(最小公倍数,最大公因子类的题目都要这样做第一步),2*5. 所以x=n*2*5, y=m*2*5. xy=(m*n)*2*5*2*5.因为不知道m和n具体是多少,所以第一个条件,insufficient.
第二个条件:分解质因子,100=2*5*2*5. x,y的两个数的因子只要从2,5,2,5中挑选即可,需满足的条件是,x的因子和y的因子放在一起至少有两个2和两个5(否则不能是100的公倍数)。
