The numbers written by the symbols, 0, 1, 2, 3. 4, 5. 6, 7. 8 and 9 are known as digits. The numbers which are divisible by such as 2, 4, 6 etc, are known as even numbers. The numbers which are not divisible by 2 such as 1, 3,5, etc. are known as odd numbers. . The numbers 1, 2, 3, ........which are used for counting are known as the natural numbers. Thus 528 is a natural numbers but 0 - 3, 14.6, and 3/4 etc. are not natural numbers. . If zero is included in natural numbers the set so obtained is known as whole numbers. For example 0, 1, 2, 3, .....etc. are whole numbers but -1, —2, 3.24 are not whole numbers. . The whole numbers positive as well as negative are known as integers. For example -7, - 6, 5, .....0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. are integers butV5, 0.32, -1.2 and Fete. are not integers. . The numbers which can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers but q # 0, are known as rational numbers. For example 25,-62, 2 2 z » 265° — 37 0 etc. rational numbers. . A number which can not be expressed in terminating decimal is known as an irrational numbers, For example Vs, 3+ V2, etc, are irrational numbers. The numbers which are either rational or irrational are known as real numbers. For example 3,-2, VTete. are real numbers. A natural number other than 1, is a prime number if and only if it is divisible by 1 and the number itself. For example 2 4s a prime number but 6 is not a prime furaber.4A | O. Math 11. The natural number other than 1 is a composite number which is divisible by 1, the number itself and atleast one more other number. For example 6 is a composite number because it is divisible by 1, 2, 3 and 6. Note— 1. is neither prime number nor composite, 2. is only the number which is prime as well as even number 12. Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder. 13. In division performed by factors True remainder = First remainder + (First divisor x Second remainder) + (First divisor x Second divisor x Third remainder) + ........ For example on dividing 305 by 15, what will be the remainder. 3 | 307 5 [102-1 20-2 <. True remainder= | + (3 x2) =14+6 =7 14, The face value of a digit is known as the intrinsic value. For example the intrinsic value of 8 in 9872 is 8. 15. The value of a digit according to its particular place is known as place value. For example the place value of 8 in 9872 is 800. Tests of Divisibility : 1. A number is divisible by 2 if it ends in zero or in a digit which is a multiple of 2. For example 30, 36 etc. are divisible by 2. 2. A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. For example sum of the digits of 402 is 6 and 6 is divisible by 3. Therefore, 402 is also divisible by 3. 3. A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits i.e. tens and units are divisible by 4. For example last two digits of 372 are 72 and 72 is divisible by 4. Therefore, 372 is also divisible by 4. 4. A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in zero or 5. For Sxample 205, 320 etc. are divisible by 5. 5. A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 as well as by 3. For example 510 is divisible by 2 as well as by 3. Therefore, 510 is divisible by 6. 6. To check whether the given number is divisible by 7, the unit digit of the given number is doubled and then it is subtracted from the number obtained after omitting the unit digit. If the remainder is divisible by 7, then the given number is also divisible by 7.O. Math | SA If the given number is large enough, then the process is repeated till such a small number is obtained which can be easily checked whether it is divisible by 7. Example 1. 343 is to be checked whether it is divisible by 7. Solution : On doubling the unit digit 3 of 343, we get 6 then 34-6 =28 Since 28 is divisible by 7, hence, 343 is divisible by 7. Example 2. 5499838 is to be checked whether it is divisible by 7. The unit digit of the given number is 8. Solution : On doubling 8 and subtracting from the number which is obtained after omitting the unit digit, we get 549983 —16 = 549967 54996-2x7 = 54982 5498-22 = 5494 549-2x4 = 541 54-2x1 = 52 Since 52 is not divisible by 7, therefore, 5499838 is also not divisible by 7. 7. Anumber is divisible by 8 if its last three digits i.e., hundreds, tens and units, are divisible. by 8. For example the last three digits of 5248 are 248 and 248 is divisible 8, hence 5248 is also divisible by 8. 8. A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. For example the sum of the digits of 576 is 18 and 18 is divisible by 9. Therefore, 576 is also divisible by 9. 9. A number is divisible 10 if it ends in zero. For example the last digit of 410 is zero, therefore, 410 will be divisible by 10. 10. A number is divisible by 11 if, the difference between the sums of the digits in the even and odd places is zero or a multiple of 11. For example in 1573, the sum of the digits in odd places is 5 +3 ie. 8 and the sum of the digits in even places is 7+ 1 i.e. 8. Therefore, the difference between there sums is zero. Hence 1573s divisible by 11. Similarly in 9174, the sum of the digits in odd places is 4+ 1 ie. 5 and the sum of digits in even places is 7 + 9 i.e. 16. Now the difference between there sums in 16 - 5 i.e. 11 which is a multiple of 11. Therefore, 9174 is divisible by 11. This One ion6A | O. Math Recurring Decimal : If in a decimal number a digit or a set of digits is repeated again and again, the decimal is known as recurring decimal. In short it is expressed by putting dots over the first and last digits which are repeated. For example. 2.666... .728372837283... and 7.342424... = 7.342 Addition and Subtraction of Decimal : While doing a sum of addition or subtraction of decimals, the following steps should be executed : 1. The numbers should be placed in columns i.e. ones under ones, tenths under tenths etc. 2. The decimal points should form one column. 3, The numbers are added or subtracted in the same way as whole numbers. 4, The decimal point is put in the answer directly under the column of decimals. Muitiplication of Decimals : Ignore the decimal points and multiply the two numbers as the whole numbers . In the product, put a decimal point after as many places from the right as there are in the multiplier and multiplicand together. Division of Decimals : 1, When the divisor is a whole number, perform the division as in the case of whole numbers. In the quotient put a decimal point after as many places from the right as there are in the dividend. 2. When the divisor is a decimal, move the decimal points of the divisor to the right until it becomes a whole number. Next move the decimal point of the dividend the same number of places to the right adding zeros if necessary. Then proceed to divide as given above. Use of Some Formulae in Simplification : a? —b2 =(a+ b) (a—-b) a? +2ab+ b? =(a+ by a? -2 ab+b? =(a-by a3 + b3 =(a+ b) (a? - ab + b*) a —b3 =(a—b) (a? + ab +b?) @+h4 3-3 abe=(at+b+c) (a +b + 2 -ab -be -ca) Example 1. What is the unit digit in the product of 237 x 72 x 28x 15? AWNO. Math | 7A Solution : The’ unit digit of the numbers 237, 72, 28 and 15 are 7, 2; 8 and 5 respectively. The product of 7, 2, 8 and 5 = 560. Be The unit digit in the required product is 0. Ans. Example 2. If a number is divided by 84 the remainder is 37. What will be the remainder if it is divided by 21? Solution : Since 84 is divisible by 21, therefore, (the given number-37) will also be perfectly divisible by 21. So it is the remainder i.e. 37 which is to be considered when divided by 21. But we know if 37 is divided by 21, the remainder-is 16. Hence when the given number is divided by 21, the remainder will be 16. Ans. By Short-cut Method : Number =84K+37 1x4K + (21 + 16) =21(44K+1)+16 ~. Remainder when the number is divided by 21 is 16. Example 3. What is the sum of all odd numbers between 1 to 50? Solution : By Short-cut Method : The odd numbers between 1 to 50 are— 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47 and 49. Thus the number of odd numbers = 25 -. Sum of all these odd numbers = (25)? = 625 Ans, Note— 1. If we want to find the number of odd numbers between two numbers whose last number is even, then last number is halved and result so obtained is number of odd numbers. For example the number of all odd numbers from 0 to 50 is 25 because half of last number 50 is 25. 2. If the last number is odd, then in order to find the number of odd number, 1 is added to the last number and then it halved. For example the number of odd numbers from 0 to 25 is x (25 +1) ie. 13. 3. The sum of odd numbers = (number of odd numbers)?8A | O. Math Example 4. What is the sum of all even number between | to 40 7 Solution : The even numbers from 1 to 40 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. No. of these even numbers = 20 Sum of even numbers = 20 x 21 = 420 Ans. Note— 1. In order to find the number of even numbers, last even number is halved. For example in the question given above the last even number is 40. Hence the number of even numbers from | to 40 is 20. 2. Sum of all even numbers = n (# + 1) where n is the number of even numbers. Example 5. Which digits can be the last digit of an exact square number ? Solution : +: @ =0, 1? =1, 2? =4, 3? =9, 4? = 16, 5? = 25, 6? = 36, 7? =49, 8 = 64 and 9? = 81. The last digit of a square number may be, 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9 only Ans. Example 6. How many numbers between 1 and 400 are such which are exactly divisible by 7 7 Solution : If 400 is divided by 7, the quotient will be 57 and remainder 1. Hence between I and 400, there are 57 numbers which are exactly divisible by 7. Ans. Example 7. What is the least number of 4 digits which is exactly divisible by 3 ? Solution : The least number of 4 digits = 1000 But 1000 is not exactly divisible by 3 Therefore, we should consider about the number 1001, 1002, ....etc. for the least number of 4 digits. We see that 1002 is exactly divisible by 3. Hence the least number of 4 digits which is divisible by 3 is 1002. Ans, Example 8. What is the difference in intrinsic value and local value of 5 in 7502 7O. Math | 9A Solution : The local value of 5 in 7502 = 500 and intrinsic value of 5 in 7502 =5 * Required difference = 500-5 =495 Ans. Example 9. What is the least prime number of three digits ? Solution : Least number of 3 digits = 100 But 100 is not a prime number Now the number next to 100 is 101 and it is a prime number. Therefore, the least prime number of 3 digits is 101. Ans, Example 10. What is the sum of all the natural numbers from 1 to 40 ? Solution : By Short-cut Method : Sum of all the natural number from 1 to 40 _ 40x41 2 = 820 Note—Sum of all the natural numbers from 1 to n= ae) Example 11. If a number is successively divided by 5 and 7, then the remainders are 3 and 4 respectively. What will be the remainder if the same number is divided by 35? Solution : True remainder = First remainder + (First divisor x Second remainder) Ans. Example 12. If (4137)7> is simplified, what will be the last digit in the answer ? Solution : The last digit in (4137)’3 will be same as the last digit in (753. But we know (7)! = 7, (7)? = 49, (7)3 = 343, (7)* = 2401, (7) = 16807 Hence last digit is repeated after each 4 index10A | O. Math The last digit in (7)’53_ = the last digit in (7)’5%*! = the last digit in (7)! =7 Ans. By Short-cut Method : In such questions if index (power) is n, then after dividing (n — 1) by 4, remainder is calculated then by the following formula the unit digit is found. Unit digit in (4737)"53 = (unit digit of 4737) "minder +1 Here, n = 753, therefore, n-1 = 752 After dividing 752 by 4, the remainder = 0 Unit digit of (4737)78 = (7)°+! = 7. Ans. Example 13.
