Arithmetic is the science of numbers. Numbers make it possible to count, to give values, and to compare quantities. 4. ARITHMETICAL TERMS AND SIGNS: 1.4 Numbers, numerals and digits Annumber is a concept of quantity. For example, the concept of 3, that is, number 3 may be represented by THREE 3 TRES Ml pia ‘Annumeral is a symbol that stands for a number. For example, 2 and 54 are numerals. A digit is a single symbol used to make numerals. For example, 1 and 7 are digts. 4.2 Decimal notation Numerals are written with digits. The word digit comes from the ancient Latin digita which means fingers. There are 10 digits forming the Western Arabic (gubari) digits: 1-0-6 Edition 06 - Revision 01 =~ g Sslamand institute of Aeronautics ‘AeroGATES: PART 66 courseware 01- Mathematics Category A BI MB? HBS 01 Arlthmetic Level 01 2 OS 0123456789 The most common way to count is based on the decimal eystem (decem means ten in ancient Latin). In everyday life, we are used to writing numbers in.a 10 number system (aiso called decimal system or base 10, or denary). Let us have a closer look From the right tothe left, > The first dat corresponds to the units. If there are 10 units or more, the next digit represents the tens, ‘> Ifthere are 10 tens or more, the next diait represents the hundreds, there are 10 hundreds or more, the next digit represents the thousands, > Ando on You see that digits are arranged based on mutiples of ten. This is precisely why we call our everyday way of counting the decimal system. For example, 2504 denotes 4 units, O tens, 5 hundreds and 2 thousands. n our previous example, 2504 is a whole number. Its called an integer. But what happens if we want to evaluate a quantity with a number which is, not a whole? Usually quantities are not described by a whole number, but by a whole number plus or minus less than a unit. In order to express quantities that fall between two whole numbers, decimals are used. The word “decimals” comes from the ancient Latin Decimus which means ‘tenth > One tenth is one of the ten equal segments of a unit. In the decimal notation, tenths are placed on the right of the units, separated by a point called the decimal point, > One hundredth is one of the ten equal segments of a tenth. In the decimal notation, hundredths are placed to the right ofthe tenths, > One thousandth is one of the ten equal segments of a hundredth. In the decimal notation, thousands are placed to the right of the hundreds, > And so on, For example, 0.01 denotes one hundredth, that is, the tenth of one tenth 9578.9 denotes 9 thousands, 5 hundreds, 7 tens, 8 units and 9 tenths, that is, 9578 and nine t 430.05 denotes 1 hundred, 3 tens and 5 hundredths. 4/826 denotes 4 units, 5 tenths, 2 hundreaths and 6 thousandth. th of a unit. a-01- 7 Edition 06 - Revision 01 | go Sslamand institute of Aeronautics ‘AeroGATES: PART 66 courseware 01- Mathematics Category A BI MB?

HBS 01 Arlthmetic Level 01 2 OS 1.3 Directed numbers: Positive and negative numbers. Numbers can be positive or negative, A negative number has one minus sign (-) in front of the digits For example, 13 is a positive number, whereas -4 is a negative one (oecause the digit 4 has a minus sign ~ in front oft). ‘When a number is negative, t means that itis smaller than zero, You can understand positive and negative numbers with a ruler: Positive numbers are on one side (Usually on the right side), while negative numbers are the other side (Usually on the left side). Zero is in between, Positive numbers are larger than zero. Negative numbers are smaller than zero. Zero is the only number which is positive and negative The further you go towards the positive side of the ruler, the larger are the numbers. The further you go towards the negative side of the ruler, the smaller are the numbers, Opposite numbers are at the same distance from zero, but on opposite sides of the ruler: If you take the oppostte of a number and take its opposite again, you see that you come back to the number.

Several additions performed together are also called a ‘summation. Example: 243-5 2 and 3 are the addends, 5 is the sum. > Geometrically addition can be understood with a ruler: = Onthe ruler, stating from zero, you measure the distance coresponding to addend a toward the positive side if @ is positive, or toward the negative side, if a is negative, = Then you go on measuring the distance corresponding to addend b,, toward the positive side if b is posttve, or toward the negative side if b is negative. Addition does not change the direction given by the addends. = You stop, and what you read on the ruleris the sum a+b For example, we want to perform 8+4, 8 is positive, you must count 8 to the positive side on the ruler, 4is positive, you then go on counting 4 to the positive side on the ruler.

METHODS OF MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION: 2.4 The decimal system The decimal notation is based upon the decimal system, Reading from left to right, cach figure is ten time the value ofthe next one, Reading from right to left, each figure isthe tenth ofthe next one. For example, one thousand is ten times one hundred, which is ten time ten, which is ten time a unt, which is ten time a tenth, which is ten time one hundredth, which is ten time on thousandth The same way, one thousandth is the tenth of on hundredth, which is the tenth of one tenth, which isthe tenth of a unit, which is the tenth of a hundred, Which is the tenth oh a thousand. (Thousand | 4 Hundred Ten 4Unit Decimal ‘Tenth | 1 Hundredth | 4 thousandth point Numbers can be decomposed in multiples of 1000; 100; 10; 4; 0.1; 0.01; 0.001 and so.on (called powers of ten), according to the postion of the figure with regard to the decimal point. For example: 2456 = 2100+ 4% 100+5%10+ 6x1 302-3100 0x1042x1 0.57 = 0x1+5x0.1+7%0.01 12,.304= 410+ 2x143x0.1+ 00,014 40.001 2.2 Multiplication and division by 10, 10, 1000 and so on ‘What happens when you muttiply a number in decimal notation by 10, 100, 10007 Let's take some examples: to. 33 Edition 06 - Revision 01 | fg Sslamand institute of Aeronautics ‘AeroGATES: PART 66 courseware Category A BI MB?

HBS Level O01 2 3 01- Mathematics 01 Arlthmetic 2.3 Roun 19 off numbers. Rounding off a decimal is a technique used to estimate or approximate values. Rounding is most commonly used to limit the amount of decimal places. Instead of having a long string of decimals places, or even one that goes on forever, we can approximate the value of the decimal to a specified decimal place. ‘We can round to any place, After rounding, the digit inthe place we are rounding will ether stay the same, referred to as rounding down, o increase by 4, referred to as rounding up. The question now becomes, when do we round up or down? 2.3.1 Rounding up ‘> Rounding up means that we increase the terminating digit by a value of 4 and drop off the digits to the right > Ifthe next place beyond where we are terminating the decimal is greater than or equal to five, we round up. Examples 7.78-7.8 tothe tenth place 1.505 ~1.51 tothe hundredth place 22.6897 = 22,6900 the thousands place 2.3.2 Rounding down > Rounding down means that we leave our last decimal place as it s given and discarding all digits to its right. > Ifthe number to the right of our terminating decimal place is four or less (4, 3, 2, 1,0), we round down: Examples 714-77 tothe tenth place 4,503 = 1.50 to the hundredth place 22.6892 - 22,6891o the thousandth place 2.4 Method of multiplication In ofder to multiply in the decimal system, 1) Make as ifthe multiplicand and multiplier were whole numbers, that is, disregard the decimal points. 1-01-36 Edition 06 - Revision 01 | go Sslamand institute of Aeronautics ‘AeroGATES: PART 66 courseware 01- Mathematics Category A BI MB? HBS 01 Arlthmetic Level a1 203 2) The number of decimal places in the product must be ‘equal to the total of decimal places in the multiplicand and the multiplier. Example: 3.21x2.9 ‘We do as ifthe multipicand and the multiplier were whole numbers. We will calculate 321 x 29: 321 x 29 7689 6420 93 0 9 The number of decima's in the product must be equal to the number of decimals in the multiplicand and in the multiplier’ The muttiplicand 3.21 has 2 digits after the decimal point and the multiplier 2.9 has 1 digit. So the number of digits after the decimal point in the product must be 3 3.21x2.9= 9.309 2.5 Method of division In order to divide in the decimal system, 4) Make the divisor a whole number. by multiplying t by @ Power of ten (10, 100, 1000...) 2) To compensate, multiply the dividend by the same power of ten. 3) Divide Example: 1.17 45 ‘We make the divisor 4.5 a whole number. We multiply by 10. In order to compensate, we also muttiply the dividend by 10. Then, we divide: eg aia 1-01. 36 Edition 06 - Revision 01 | go Sslamand institute of Aeronautics ‘AeroGATES: PART 66 courseware Category A BI MB?

Then, we aivide: 324 29 3 2 also 29 iaslgeen0) The result is not strictly exact, as there is a remainder We can go on dividing to get more digits after the decimal (Or we can stop and wrte the result: 32.1: 29= 14.1 correct to trst (tenth) decimal place. (Or we can include the remainder in the answer, so that itis an exact answer: Dividend = Quotient x Divisor + Remainder or, a-o1- (Dividend : Divisor) = Quotient + (Remainder : Divisor) 7 Edition 06 - Revision 01 | go Sslamand institute of Aeronautics ‘AeroGATES: PART 66 courseware 01- Mathematics Category A BI MB?

For example, 19 = 3 = 6,333333333333 ‘Some other numbers have a finite but long string of decimal places. For example, 0,99999999990 It you perform several calculations with such numbers, you are sure that you will get errors. For example, if you type on a calculator 0. 98999999990 x 099999999990, you have great chance to get 0.99999999990 x 0.99999999990 = 1, which 's not true This is the reason why fractions are important: They make it possible to perform many calculations without any error. Then, when the calculations are Performed, the result can be expressed in decimal notation. 3.4 Definition of a fraction ‘A fraction (also called commen or vulgar fraction) is a number written as: or 2 iscalled the numerator, » iscalled the denominator. 1-01. 38 Edition 06 - Revision 01 | go Sslamand institute of Aeronautics ‘AeroGATES: PART 66 courseware 01- Mathematics Category A BI MB?

Teeth ratio of a drive gear to a driven gear The ratio of a drive gear to a driven gear is defined by the number of teeth of the drive gear to the number of teeth of the driven gear. The ratio of teeth is the inverse of the ratio of revolutions, For example, the ratio of a drive gear with 30 teeth to a driven gear with 90 teeth is 30:90, that is, 1:3. This means that for every one tooth of the drive gear, there a 3 teeth on the driven gear. Since the drive gear has one thifd as many teeth as the driven gear, the drive gear must complete 3 revolutions to turn the driven gear once. The result is a revolution ration of 3:1, which is the opposite ofthe teeth ratio. 6.1.1 Ratios expressed as fractions > If quantities 2 and b are integers, a ratio can be expressed as a fraction.

We move the decimal point in the divisor all the way to the right to make it a whole number, and we move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places (here, we then need to add a zero to the dividend), ea) 7a 0 sEet2| tor. 150 Edition 06 - Revision 01 | go Sslamand institute of Aeronautics ‘AeroGATES: PART 66 courseware Category A BI MB?

It s the remainder which does not appear in the equality. We can also write: 147 + 3.2= 45.9 correct to the 1 decimal place. In order to get a strict equality, we can finally write the result as: Dividend = Quotient x Divisor + Remainder or, (Dividend : Divisor) = Quotient + (Remainder : Divisor) ‘The dividend is 147, the quotient is 3.2 and the divisor is 0.024 tae evapo) aelea t-o1- 152 Edition 06 - Revision 01 g 7.
