List the first 10 prime numbers and write the prime decomposition of 2910.

Find three different natural numbers, larger than 100 such that each of them is divisible by the difference of the other two numbers? The values of differences also have to be different from each other.

There are four numbers written in a row. The first number is 100. It is known that if we divide the first number by the second number we will get a prime number as a result, if we the second number by the third number we will get a prime number, and if we divide the third number by the fourth number we will also get a prime number. Can all the resulting prime numbers be distinct?

We know that the product c×d is divisible by a prime p. Show that either c or d must be divisible by p.

The number a has a prime factorization 23×32×72×11. Is it divisible by 54? Is it divisible by 154?

Two numbers are given in terms of their prime factorizations: a=23×32×5×112×172 and b=2×53×72×11×13.

a) What is the greatest common divisor gcd(a,b) of these numbers?

b) What is their least common multiple lcm(a,b)?

c) Write down the prime factorization of gcd(a,b)×lcm(a,b). Then write the prime factorization of a×b. What do you notice?

Find all natural numbers n for which there exist integers a,b,c such that a+b+c=0 and the number an+bn+cn is prime.

Alice the fox and Basilio the cat have grown 20 counterfeit bills on a money tree and now write seven-digit numbers on them. Each bill has 7 empty cells for numbers. Basilio calls out one digit "1" or "2" (he doesn’t know the others), and Alice writes the number into any empty cell of any bill and shows the result to Basilio. When all the cells are filled, Basilio takes as many bills with different numbers as possible (out of several with the same number, he takes only one), and the rest is taken by Alice. What is the largest number of bills Basilio can get, regardless of Alice’s actions?

Cut a 7×7 square into 9 rectangles, out of which you can construct any rectangle whose sidelengths are less than 7. Show how to construct the rectangles.

Find all the prime numbers p such that the number 2p2+1 is also prime.
