Concept: 2 Marks
Example: 1 Mark

$48 = 4 \times 12$

4 and 12 are not co-prime

Therefore, it is not necessary that the number will be divisible by 48.

Let us consider the number 72 for an example

$72 \div 4 = 18$ , so 72 is divisible by 4.

$72 \div 12 = 6$ , so 72 is divisible by 12.

But 72 is not divisible by 48.
