What is the smallest number with exactly 14 divisors?
Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers. For example, 15=7+8 and 10=1+2+3+4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed in this way?
If it takes four men one day to build a wall, how long does it take 60,000 men to build a similar wall?
The diagram show four circles each of which touches the largest square and two adjacent circles. A second square has its vertices at the midpoints of the sides of the largest square and the central square has its vertices at the centres of the circles. What is the ratio of the total shaded area to the area of the outer square? If you liked this problem, here is an NRICH task which challenges you to use similar mathematical ideas.
