Illustrative Examples:
Prime & Composite
Definition:
• A number whose ONLY factors are 1 and itself is called prime, otherwise, the number is called
composite.
• The first five prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.
• The first five composite numbers are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10

Remarks:
1. 1 is neither prime nor composite.
2. 2 is the only EVEN prime number.
3. NOT all ODD numbers are prime.
4. Composite numbers can be expressed as product of prime factors.
Illustrative Examples:
1. 50 = 5 x 5 x 2
2. 120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
3. 90 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 5
4. 315 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 7
5. 85 = 5 x 17
GCF & LCM
Definition:
The largest possible number that can divide all the numbers in a given set is called its
greatest common factor (GCF). divisor

Examples:
1. The GCF of 85 and 51 is 17.
2. The GCF of 35, 55, 80 and 100 is 5.
3. The GCF of 63, 72 and 54 is 9.
Definition:
The smallest number that can be divided by all of the numbers in a given set is
called its least common multiple (LCM). dividend

Examples:
1. The LCM of 4, 5 and 6 is 60.
2. The LCM of 7 and 11 is 77
3. The LCM of 5, 10 and 15 is 30.
Remarks:
1. LCM is always greater than the GCF .
2. The concept of prime factorization can be applied in determining GCF and LCM.

• Decimals & Fractions
• Basic Concepts of Decimals and Fractions
- The following are examples of decimals: 0.5 , 0.33, 1.025 and 150.02
- Decimals may be classified as terminating, repeating or non-terminating/
non-repeating
- The following are examples of fractions: ½ , 1/3, 1 1/40 and 150 1/50
- Fractions may be classified as proper, improper or mixed numbers.

Remarks:
1. Fractions can be expressed as decimals and vice-versa.
2. Fractions should always be expressed in lowest terms.
Operations:
• Percent, Ratio & Proportion
Basic Concepts of Percent
1. Percent means “for every hundred”
2. Decimals and fractions may be converted to percent and vice-versa.
Decimal Fraction Percent
0.25 25/100 or ¼ 25%
0.50 or 0.5 50/100 or ½ 50%
0.666… 2/3 66.67% or 66.7%
0.025 2.5/100 or 25/1000 or 1/40 2.5%
12.3 1230/100 or 123/10 or 1230%
12 3/10
Basic Concepts of Ratio and Proportion
1. Ratio is the comparison between two or more quantities of the same unit.
2. Proportion is an equality between two ratios.
