1What is the place value of the digit 7 in the number 4,578,219?
A.700
B.7,000
C.70,000
D.700,000
Explanation: In 4,578,219, counting from right to left, the digit 9 is in the units place, 1 is in tens, 2 is in hundreds, 8 is in thousands, and 7 is in ten thousands. Therefore, the value represented by 7 is 70,000.
2What is 86,472 rounded to the nearest thousand?
A.86,000
B.86,500
C.87,000
D.90,000
Explanation: To round 86,472 to the nearest thousand, examine the digit in the hundreds position, which is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, we round down, keeping 86 in the thousands place to get 86,000.
3What is the Arabic numeral equivalent of the Roman numeral CXLIV?
A.144
B.164
C.146
D.154
Explanation: In Roman numerals, C = 100, XL = 40 (50 minus 10), and IV = 4 (5 minus 1). Adding these values together gives 100 + 40 + 4 = 144.
4Which of the following numbers is a prime number?
A.27
B.33
C.41
D.51
Explanation: A prime number has exactly two distinct factors: 1 and itself. The number 41 is divisible only by 1 and 41, making it a prime number.
5What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 6, 8, and 12?
A.24
B.48
C.36
D.72
Explanation: The multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30...; multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32...; and multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36... The smallest number appearing in all three lists is 24.
6What is 500,000 + 4,000 + 300 + 9 written as a single standard numeral?
A.540,309
B.504,309
C.504,390
D.54,309
Explanation: Adding the expanded form values: 500,000 (hundred thousands) + 4,000 (thousands) + 300 (hundreds) + 9 (units) yields 504,309.
7What is the highest common factor (HCF) of 36, 54, and 90?
A.6
B.9
C.18
D.27
Explanation: The prime factorisations are 36 = 2^2 x 3^2, 54 = 2 x 3^3, and 90 = 2 x 3^2 x 5. Taking the product of the lowest powers of common prime factors (2^1 x 3^2) gives 2 x 9 = 18.
8Evaluate the expression: 15² - √144.
A.213
B.225
C.237
D.201
Explanation: First calculate 15² = 15 x 15 = 225. Next find √144 = 12. Subtracting 12 from 225 gives 225 - 12 = 213.
9The 2022 Botswana population census registered 149,652 residents in a district. What is this population rounded to the nearest ten thousand?
A.140,000
B.149,700
C.150,000
D.200,000
Explanation: To round 149,652 to the nearest ten thousand, examine the thousands digit (9). Since 9 is greater than or equal to 5, round up the ten thousands digit (4) to 5, resulting in 150,000.
10Express the current year 2026 in Roman numerals.
A.MMXXVI
B.MMXVI
C.MMXXIV
D.MXXVI
Explanation: In Roman numerals, 2000 is written as MM (1000 + 1000), 20 is XX (10 + 10), and 6 is VI (5 + 1). Combining these gives MMXXVI.
