❖ Give Exercises on GCF and LCM (Exercise A)
✔ Factorial- denoted as n!
- Represents the product of all positive integers from 1 to n
n! = n(n-1)…3, 2, 1
5! = 5x4x3x2x1
= 120
✔ Significant Digits
-digits that define the numerical value of a number
Note: The sifnificant digit of a number begins with the first non-zero digit and
ends with the final digit be it zero or not.
Ex. 16.72 – has 4 significant digits
0. 0016 – has 2 significant digits
✔ Rounding Off
Ex. Round off 5, 836 to the nearest tens = 5, 840
Round off 12. 873 to the nearest hundredths = 12. 87
✔ Properties of Real Numbers

1. Closure Property
⮚ The sum/difference of two more real numbers is also a real number.
Example:5+8=13for addition
(6)(8)=48for multiplication
2. Commutative Property
⮚ A change in order of real numbers that are being added/multiplied does not change their
sum/product.
Example:5+8=8+3=13for addition
( 6 )( 8 ) =( 8 ) ( 6 )=48 for multiplication
3. Associative Property
⮚ A change in the grouping of real numbers being added/multiplied does not change their
sum/product.
Example:5+ ( 10+6 )=( 5+10 ) +6=21for addition
5 x ( 10 x 6 )=( 5 x 10 ) x 6=300 for multiplication
Ex. (5+8)+2 = 2+(5+8) is it commutative or associative?

Answer: commutative
If associative, it should be : (5+8)+2=2+(5+8)
4. Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition (DPMA)

⮚ When two real numbers have been added and then multiplied by a factor, the result will
be the same when each number is multiplied by the factor and the products are then added.
Example:3 x ( 10+6 )=3 x 10+3 x 6=48
( 3+10 ) x 6=6 x 3+6 x 10=78
5. Identity property
ST. TERESA REVIEW
CENTER
a. For addition: the sum of any real number and zero is the real number.
Example:5+0=5
b. For multiplication: the product of any real number and one is the real number.
Example:( 8 ) ( 1 )=8
6. Zero property
⮚ The product of real number and zero is zero.
Example:( 10 ) ( 0 )=0
7. Inverse property
a. Additive inverse: the sum of a number and it’s opposite is zero.
Example: 2 + (-2) = 0.
b. Multiplicative inverse: the product of a number and it’s reciprocal is 1.
Example:( 2 )()
1
2
=1
✔ Operations on Real Numbers
o Addition
Rule: same sign: add and keep the sign
Ex. (-10)+(-5)=(-15)
Different sign: subtract and copy the sign of the larger number
Ex. (-10)+(5)=(10-5=5) (-5) (copy the sign of number 10 which is negative )
o Subtraction
Rule: Change subtraction to addition, the first number stays the same but switch the
sign of the second number, then apply rules in addition.
Ex. (-5)-(5)=(-5)+(-5)=(-10)
10-(-5) = 10+5=15
o Multiplication & Division
Rule: same sign: results to a positive number
Different sign results to a negative number
Ex. 6x3= 18, (-6)x(3)= -18
Ex. (-15)/(-3)= 5, (15)/(-3)= -5
✔ Divisibility Rules
A whole number divides another if the remainder is zero. Hence its whole number is said
to be a divisor/ factor of the other or that other number is divisible by the whole number.
Divisibility By 2
- A number is divisible by 2 if it ends in 0, 2,4,6 or they are even numbers.
Divisibility By 3
- A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
Example: 2 613
2+6+1+3 = 12; 12 is divisible by 3
Divisibility By 4
- A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by the last 2 digits is
divisible by 4.
Example: 2 512
ST. TERESA REVIEW

- A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0/5
Example: 3 780
4 125
Divisibility By 6
- A number is divisible by 6 if the number is even and is divisible by 3.
Example: 2 754
2 754 is even
2+7+5+4 = 18 divisible by 3.
Divisibility By 7
- A number is divisible by 7 if the difference between twice its ones digit and
the number formed by the remaining digits is zero or divisible by 7.
Example: 938
93 – 2(8) = 77; 77 is divisible by 7
Divisibility By 8
- A number is divisible by 8 if the no formed by the last three digits is divisible
by 8.
Example: 67048
048 is divisible by 8.
Divisibility By 9
- A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digit is divisible by 9.
Example: 2 754
2+7+5+4 = 18 ; 18 is divisible by 9
Divisibility By 10
- A number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0.
Example: 1430
Divisibility By 11
- A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of the digits in
the odd places (starting from the rightmost digit) and the sum of the digits in
the even places is 11 or divisible by 11.
Example: 61 248
6+2+8= 16
1+4= 5
16-5=11
Divisibility By 12
- A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by 3 or 4
Divisibility By 13
- A no is divisible by 13 if the sum of 4 times the one’s digit and the number
formed by the remaining digits is divisible by 13.
Example: 325
32 + 4(5)

VIII. ALGEBRA
● Algebraic expressions
- Result of applying one or more of the four fundamental operations of
additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions to a collection of
constant and variables.
● Constant – 1, 2, 3
● Variables – x, y, z
● Term- each district parts of A.E with its sign
● Constant/ Variables – a factor of the term
● Co efficient – any factor of a term
o literal co-efficient
o numeral co- efficient
▪ Example: 30n; 30-numerical coeff., n-literal coef.

● The sum of a and 3 ● a+3
● 8 more than p ● p+8
● 6 subtracted from n ● n-6

● 4 less y ● 4-y
● The product of 9 and s ● 9s
● The sum of x and 3y ● X +3y
● The cube of the sum of x and y ● (x+y)3
● The difference of twice x and y ● 2x - y

2. 6x(2x2-3xy+7y2)=12x3-18x2y+42xy2
ADDITION OF POLYNOMIALS
Step 1: Arrange the polynomials in standard form
Standard form of a polynomials in just means that the term with highest
degree comes first and followed by each of the following terms.
ST. TERESA REVIEW
CENTER
Step 2: Arrange the like terms in columns and add the like terms.
1. Write in standard form (3y5+y4+2y3-2y+5) + (2y5+ 3y3+ 7y +2)

2. Arrange in columns of like terms and then add
3y5+y4+2y3- 2y+5
+ 2y5+ 3y3+ 7y +2
5y5+ y4+5y3+5y+7
SUBTRACTION OF POLYNOMIALS
Step 1: Write the given polynomials
Step 2: Combine like terms and remove zero pairs
Step 3: Subtract the like terms( In subtraction the sign of the second term will
change)
Ex. (3a2- 7a+2) – (5a2 +a – 8)
3a2- 7a+2 3a2- 7a+2
-(5a2 +a – 8) +-5a2 -a + 8
2a2- 8a +10
MULTIPLICATION OF POLYNOMIALS
Step 1: Multiply each term in one polynomial by each term in the polynomial
Step 2: add those answers together, and simplify if needed.
Example:
1. (-4x3y7)(6x5y2) = -24x8y9
2. 2x ( 3x2 + 2y + 6) = 6x2 + 4xy + 12x
3. (ab) (ar +bs +cd) = a2br + ab2s + abcd

Polynomials
-an algebraic expression consisting only of non-negative integer, power of variables and with
no variable in the denominator and exponents should not be in fraction.

Types according to the number of terms:

1. monomial- one term
2. binomial – two terms
3. trinomial- three terms
4. multinomial- 4 or more terms
o Degree of a term – sum of exponents

o Degree of a polynomial – highest degree
Ex. 5x2y Degree of the term : 2+1=3

Degree of the polynomial=2
✔ AGE, WORK AND MIXTURE
● Age Problem:
The ages of a certain person in the past, present and future in terms of x.
Present Past Future
(6 years ago) (5 years hence)
x x-6 x+5
Example: Paula is now 18 years old and Monica is 14 years old. How many years old ago
was Paula twice as old as Monica.
Past Present
Paula 18-n 18
Monica 14-n 14
ST. TERESA REVIEW

Solution:
(18-n)= 2)(14-n)
18-n= 28-2n
2n-n= 28-18
n=10
Try:
Ex. Debbie is twice as old as Jerry. 4 years ago, Debbie was three times as old as Jerry then.
How old is Debbie?
4 years ago
Debbie 2x 2x-4
Jerry x x-4
2x-4=3(x-4)
2x-4=3x-12
-4+12=3x-2x
8=x (Jerry)
16=2x (Debbie)

Jerry can do the job alone in 6 hours. If Tom helps, they can get the job done in 4 hours.
How long did it take Tom to do the job by himself?
● Mixture Problem
Example: A chemist has 70 ml of a 50% methane solution. How much of an 80%
solution must she add so the final solution is 60% methane?
0.50 + 0.80 = 0.60
70 ml x = 70 +x
= (0.50)(70) + (0.80)(x) = 0.60(70+x)

= 35+0.80x= 42 + 0.60x
=0.80-0.60x = 42-35
0.20 x 7
