what are the factors of 56?

Procedure to find the factors of  56:

when you want to start calculating the factors start from 1. 1 is a common  factor for all numbers.
the following table shows the factors of 56

56

        

as shown in the above table  in first row multiply 1 by   number 56.
from second row try for all possible numbers so that their multiplication gives 56.

then the first column shows the factors of number 56 which are shown in red colour:  


factors of number 56 are : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 , 14, 28, 56

if you divide the 56 with any one of the above factors reminder is zero

Average of first n even numbers

Even numbers are 2,4,6,8,10,…. Average = sum of elements/ no of elments Now we will see the sum of elements: Sum of first 2 even numbers: 2+4= 6= 2(2+1) Sum of first 3 even numbers: 2+4+6= 12= 3(3+1) Sum of first 4 even  numbers: 2+4+6+8=20= 4(4+1) Sum of first 5 even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10 = 30 = 5(5+1) Sum of first n even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10+. . . . .  n numbers= n(n+1) Now we will see average: Average of first 2 even numbers= (2+4)/2                                                           = 6/2                              ...

LOGIC BEHIND MAGIC SQUARE

Assume a magic square of 3x3 A B C D E F G H I The above figure shows a 3x3 magic square. In the magic square sum of colum, row, diagnol numbers should be same A+B+C=D+E+F=G+H+I=A+D+G=B+E+H=C+F+I=A+E+I=C+E+G=sum A+B+C D+E+F G+H+I A+D+G B+E+H C+F+I A+E+I C+E+G By  seeing the  above there is 8 type of sum is available. Row wise-3,  column wise-3, diagnol wise-2. Condition#1: There are 8 different combinations are there with same sum in a magic square. In the above 8 combinations A=2 times, B= 3 times, C= 2 times, D=3 times E=4 times, F=3 times, G=2 times, H=3 times, I= 2 times Hence the above forms the condition#2. In simply condition#2, middle number E appears 4 times in 8 combinations. Hence row, column, diagnol sum should be equal. In 3x3 magic square we are taking numbers from 1 to 9. From 9 numbers we need to take 3 numbers. From...

how many times a day do the minute and hour hands of a clock form a straight line but in opposite direction

For this I am not writing any formula , simply  with the help of table we will try to understand the concept. the minute and hour hands of a clock form a straight line but in opposite direction 1 Between 12.30 to 12.35 2 Between 1.35 to 1.40 3 Between 2.40 to 2.45 4 Between 3.45 to 3.50 5 Between 4.50 to 4.55 6 Between 5.55 to 6.00  : means at 6.00 clock they are straight but opposite @ Between 6.00 to 6.05 hands are not straight in opposite direction 7  Between 7.05 to 7.10 8 Between  8.10 to 8.15 9 Between  9.15 to 9.20 10 Between  10.20 to 10.25 11 Between  11.25  to 11.30                  #  goto step 1 @ in 6 th column if we see in 5 to 6 hours and 6.00 to 7.00 hours t...
