8. (2) 72 [2]
Explanation: Prime factorisation: 12 = 2² × 3, 18 = 2 × 3², 24 = 2³ × 3. LCM = 2³ × 3² = 8 × 9 = 72.
9. (1) 13 378 [2]
Explanation: Order of operations: multiplication first. 2 789 × 4 = 11 156 3 456 + 11 156 - 1 234 = 14 612 - 1 234 = 13 378.
10. (1) 11 640 [2]

18. 3 517 [1]
Explanation: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = 15 × 234 + 7 = 3 510 + 7 = 3 517.
19. 150 000 [1]
Explanation: 4 872 ≈ 4 870 (nearest ten), 29 ≈ 30 (nearest ten). Estimated product = 4 870 × 30 = 146 100 ≈ 150 000 (or accept 146 100 if exact rounding product is expected; typically "estimate" allows 4 900 × 30 = 147 000 or 4 870 × 30 = 146 100. Common PSLE approach: round to 1 sig fig: 5 000 × 30 = 150 000).
20. 3 800 [1]
Explanation: Let the numbers be x (larger) and y (smaller). x + y = 10 000 x - y = 2 400 Add: 2x = 12 400 → x = 6 200 y = 10 000 - 6 200 = 3 800. Or: Smaller = (Sum - Difference) ÷ 2 = (10 000 - 2 400) ÷ 2 = 7 600 ÷ 2 = 3 800.

35. 18 [3]
Working: Work backwards. Result after division = 52 Before division: 52 × 3 = 156 Before adding 24: 156 - 24 = 132 Original number: 132 ÷ 7 = 18.857... Wait, this doesn't give a whole number. Let me re-check: "A number is multiplied by 7, then 24 is added. The result is divided by 3, giving a quotient of 52." Let number = n. (7n + 24) ÷ 3 = 52 7n + 24 = 156 7n = 132 n = 132/7 = 18 6/7. Not a whole number. Correction needed in question or answer. For a Primary 6 whole number question, the answer should be a whole number. Let me adjust the question parameters mentally: If quotient is 53, then 7n+24=159, 7n=135, no. If quotient is 54, 7n+24=162, 7n=138, no. If quotient is 55, 7n+24=165, 7n=141, no. If quotient is 56, 7n+24=168, 7n=144, no. If quotient is 57, 7n+24=171, 7n=147, n=21. Good. But I must answer based on the question as written. The question says "quotient of 52". This implies the division is exact. 7n+24 must be multiple of 3. 7n+24 ≡ n (mod 3). For 52, 7n+24=156, 7n=132, n=132/7 not integer. As an answer key, I will show the working and note the issue. Working: Let the number be n. (7n + 24) ÷ 3 = 52 7n + 24 = 156 7n = 132 n = 132 ÷ 7 = 18 6/7 Since the question asks for a whole number, there may be an error in the question parameters. If the quotient were 57, the number would be 21. Answer: 18 6/7 (not a whole number; question may have a typo)
