Question

Help Maxine pick out the missing number from the given puzzle.

Choose from the options given below.

• A. 3
• B. 8
• C. 14
• D. 7

Answer 1

The correct option is D 7

The number in each circle represents the factor of the number given within the square/rectangle at the center.

Thus, to find the missing number, we need to find the factors of 14.

The factor pairs of 14 are:
$1\times 14=14$
$2\times 7=14$
$7\times 2=14$
$14\times 1$ = 14

Thus, the factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, and 14.

Hence, the missing number is 7.
