Types of Numbers in Math

Just like different persons of the same family live in different homes, different numbers are of the
same family but have different characteristics or properties. These patterns of numbers are
different from each other due to different representations and properties.

The diagram of “stack of funnels” below will help us classify numbers easily.

But first, we need to describe what kind of elements are included in each group of numbers.
Each group or set of numbers is represented by a funnel.

GRADE 9 Page 1 of 41
WHOLE NUMBERS (draft)
The numbers that we use to count are called natural numbers:

Natural numbers have the following properties:


Property 2:
Not closed under subtraction or division
When subtraction or division is done with
natural numbers, the answers are not
Property 1: always natural numbers
Closed under addition and multiplication Example 1:
When you add two or more natural numbers, There is no natural number
you get a natural number again. that provides the answer to 5 – 20.
Example 1: Example 2:
5 + 7 = 12, 12 → a natural number there is no natural
4 + 6 = 10, 10 → a natural number number that provides the answer to
10 ÷ 3.
When you multiply two or more natural
numbers, you get a natural number again.
Example 2:
5× 7 = 35, 35 → natural number
4 × 6 = 24, 24 → natural number

The whole numbers are a slight “upgrade” of the natural numbers because we simply add the
element zero to the current set of natural numbers. Think of whole numbers as natural numbers
together with zero.

0 When 0 is added to a
number the answer is just
the
number you start with:
24 + 0 = 24.
All whole numbers are also For this reason, 0 is called
integers. The set of whole the identity element for

For each whole number, there

number 5. But there is an answer to this subtraction in the system of integers.
For example: 5 – 8 = −3. The number –3 is read as “negative 3”

Integers extend in both directions:

GRADE 9 Page 2 of 41
WHOLE NUMBERS (draft)
The system of integers does not provide an answer for all possible division questions.
𝟐
For example, the answer for 12 ÷ 5 = 2.4 or 𝟐 𝟓 , is not an integer.

To have answers for all possible division questions, we must extend the number
𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒓
system to include fractions and negative fractions, in other words, numbers of the form
𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒆𝒓
Caution: The denominator cannot equal zero.

This system of numbers is called rational numbers.


We can represent rational numbers as common fractions or as decimal numbers.

Rational numbers do not provide for all situations that may occur in Mathematics.

For example, there is no rational number which will produce the answer 2 when it is
multiplied by itself : (𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓) × (𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓) = 𝟐
2 × 2 = 4 and 1 × 1 = 1, so clearly, this number must be between 1 and 2.

But there is no number which can be expressed as a fraction, in either the common
fraction or the decimal notation, which will solve this problem.

Numbers like these are called irrational numbers.


Here are some more examples of irrational numbers as seen below:

Nos: mean

Rational and irrational numbers together, are called real numbers.

Remember:
Under the set of rational
numbers, we have the
subcategories or subsets of
integers, whole numbers,
and natural numbers.

Multiples and factors


Use prime factorization of numbers to find LCM and HCF

RESOURCES: DBE Workbook, Sasol-Inzalo book, Textbooks

LESSON DEVELOPMENT

Multiples and Factors

Let’s revise the following mathematical concepts:

• A multiple is a number made up by multiplying two other numbers together.

Example: 𝟓 × 𝟕 = 𝟑𝟓 therefore 35 is a multiple of 5 and of 7.

More examples: The numbers 6; 12; 18; 24; ... are multiples of 6.
The numbers 7; 14; 21; 28; ... are multiples of 7.

• A factor of a number can be divided into that number without leaving a remainder.

Example: 3 is a factor of 48 because 𝟒𝟖 ÷ 𝟑 = 𝟏𝟔 (no remainder).

More examples: Of which numbers is 20 a multiple?


20 = 1 × 20 = 2 × 10 = 4 × 5 = 5 × 4 = 10 × 2 = 20 × 1
Factors come in pairs. The following pairs are factors of 20:

• A prime number can only be expressed as the product of 1 and the number itself.

Example: 29 is prime because its only factors are 1 and 29

Prime factorization means that a number is written as a product of all its prime factors.

Example: 𝟕𝟐 = 𝟐 × 𝟐 × 𝟐 × 𝟑 × 𝟑

GRADE 9 Page 7 of 41
WHOLE NUMBERS (draft)
• Prime factorization can be done by using:

a factor tree, which starts with known factors of the number


a factor ladder, which starts with the smallest prime factor of the number.

Let’s illustrate:

Use prime factorization of numbers to find LCM and HCF:

Numbers can be broken down into prime factors using prime factor trees or ladder.
When the prime factors of two numbers are known, they can be compared to calculate
Highest Common Factor and Lowest Common Multiple.

This can be a more efficient method than listing the factors and multiples of large numbers.

Example:

Find the HCF and LCM of 24 and 180.

Use either a factor tree or factor ladder to find the prime factors of 24 and 180.

Write each number as a product of its prime factors.

The product of prime factors for 24 is: 𝟐 × 𝟐 × 𝟐 × 𝟑

The product of prime factors for 180 is: 𝟐 × 𝟐 × 𝟑 × 𝟑 × 𝟓

GRADE 9 Page 8 of 41
WHOLE NUMBERS (draft)
Finding the Highest Common Factor:

Match the prime factors vertically when possible as shown below.


All the 2’s is now underneath each other, as are the 3’s etc.

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
180 = 2 × 2 × 3 ×3×5
HCF =

The highest common factor is found by multiplying all the factors which appear
in BOTH lists as indicated by the arrows below:

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
180 = 2 × 2 × 3 ×3×5
HCF = 2 × 𝟐 × 𝟑
∴ the HCF of 24 and 180 = 12

Finding the Least Common Multiple:

Match the prime factors vertically when possible.


All the 2’s is now underneath each other, as are the 3’s etc.

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
180 = 2 × 2 × 3 ×3×5
LCM =

GRADE 9 Page 9 of 41
WHOLE NUMBERS (draft)
The lowest common multiple is found by multiplying all the factors which appear
in either list:

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
180 = 2 × 2 × 3 ×3×5
LCM = 𝟐 × 𝟐 × 𝟐× 𝟑 × 𝟑× 𝟓

LCM = 360

Indirect Proportion
Two values(quantities) 𝑥 and 𝑦 are indirectly or inversely proportional to each other when their
product of 𝒙 and 𝒚 is a constant (always remains the same).

This means that when 𝑥 increases 𝑦 will decrease, and vice versa, by an amount such
that 𝑥𝑦 remains the same.

𝐼𝑛 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠: 𝑥 × 𝑦 = 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡

∴ 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑐

(Note: 1 × 6 = 6 ∴` 6 is the constant product)
To find how long 3 men would take to do the same job, find what is multiplied by 3 to get
the constant product of 6 (6 ÷ 3 = 2). 3 men will take two hours.

Introduction
Money and finance involve maths. You use mathematics when you spend or make money or
when you study a bank statement.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Term Explanation
Profit/loss A measure of the gain/loss made in a transaction or
business.
VAT Value Added Tax is paid on goods or services. In South
Africa VAT is 15% of the price.
Simple interest Interest on an investment is earned or interest on a loan
amount is charged with only the principal amount taken
into consideration.
Hire purchase When an item is purchased but only a deposit is paid
and then the item is paid off over a specified period. The
interest charged is simple interest.
Deposit A sum of money paid as a first instalment on an item with
the understanding that the balance will be paid at a
later stage.
Compound interest Interest is calculated not only on the principal amount
but also will include any accumulated interest that may
have been charged or earned previously.
Exchange rate An exchange rate is the value of one
nation's currency versus the currency of another nation.

Remember the following:

All businesses would like to make a profit but that does not always happen.
If a business does not do well it runs at a loss.
The cost price of an item is the price the company or the individual pays for it.
The selling price is the price that the item is sold to the customer.

If the selling price is higher than the cost price, then a profit is made:
Profit = selling price – cost price

If the selling price is lower than the cost price, then the company/individual makes a loss:
Loss = cost price – selling price

Profit or loss is often expressed as a percentage. Use the following formula to work out the
actual loss or profit:

Simple Interest (SI) Compound Interest (CI)

Interest is paid on money that is saved or invested.


When you borrow money from a bank or company,
interest is charged for the use of the money.
So, when you borrow money from a bank, you will
have to pay the money plus interest back.
When you invest money with a bank, the bank will use your money and pay interest to you.

When interest is calculated for a number of When the interest earned, each year is
years on an amount (i.e. a fixed deposit), added to the original amount, and the
