Chapter : 4 Number System

Natural Numbers – Natural numbers start with 1 ; Natural numbers are counting numbers.
Even Numbers – Numbers which are divisible by 2.
Odd Number – Numbers which are not divisible by 2.
Whole Number – When zero is included in natural numbers then numbers are called whole numbers.
Integers – When in the set of whole numbers, natural numbers with negative sign are included, then it
become set of integers. They are denoted by Z.
Prime Numbers - The natural numbers which have no factors other that 1 and It self are called Prime
Numbers.
Note: - 2 is only even prime number.
Co-Prime number – Two numbers which have no common factors other than 1 are called Co-prime
numbers. Such as 9 and 16 , 4 and 17, 80 and 81 etc. It is not necessary that two co-prime numbers are
prime always. They may or may not be Prime numbers.
Composite Numbers – The number which are not prime number are called composite numbers. Such as 6, 8,
12 etc.
Note : - 1 is neither prime or Composite number. Composite number may be even or odd number.
Rational Number – The numbers which can be expressed in the form of p/q and q ǂ 0. They are denoted by
Q. These may be positive or negative.
Ir- rational Numbers – The numbers which are not rational numbers, are called Ir-rational numbers.
15
Such as √ 2 = 1.414213562….
π = 3.141592653….
Real numbers – Set of all rational numbers as well as ir-rational numbers. In other words, all type of
numbers are real numbers except imaginary numbers.
Cyclic Numbers – Cyclic numbers are those numbers of n digits which when multiplied by any other
number upto n gives some digits in a different order. Such as 142857
142857 x 1 = 142857, 142857 x 2 = 285714, 142857 x 3 = 428571,
142857 x 4 = 571428, 142857 x 5 = 714285
Perfect Numbers – If the sum of all divisors of a number N (except)N is equal to the number N itself,
then the number is called perfect Number. Such as 6, 28, 496, 8128 etc.
6 = 1+2+3 =6
28 = 1+2+4+7+14 = 28
496 = 1+2+4+8+16+31+62+124+248 = 496
Note – In a Perfect number, the sum of inverse of all of its factors including it self is 2.
Factors of 6 are = 1, 2, 3
1 1 1 1 6 +3+2+1 12
+ + + = = =2
1 2 3 6 6 6
Important points.
1. The place or position of a digit in a number is called its place value.
Such as place value of 2 in 5283 is = 200

Place value of 3 in 5243491 is = 3000
2. The real value of any digit in a certain number is called its face value.
Such as face value of 2 in 5283 is = 2
3. The sum, subtraction, Multiplication and division of two rational numbers Is always a rational number.
4. The sum, subtraction, multiplication and division of rational and Ir-rational number is always an Ir-
rational Number.
5. Square of even number is even and square of odd number is odd.

Rules of Divisibility
1. Divisibility by 2- If the last digit is 0 or an even number then that number is divisible by 2.
2. Divisibility by3 – If the sum of all digit of a number is divisible by 3, then that number is divisible by 3.
Such as – 432, 2349, 15678, But 864329 – not divisible
3. Divisibility by 4 - If in any number last two digits are divisible by 4, then whole number will be divisible by 4.
Such as – 48424, 982648 but 749282 is not divisible by 4.
4. Divisible by 5 - If the last digit of number is 5 or 0, then that number is divisible by 5.
Such as – 20820, 50345, are divisible but 30934 and 40946 are not divisible.
5. Divisibility by 6 – If a number is divisible by both. 2 and 3, then that number is divisible by 6.
Such as – 35356, 25614
6. Divisibility by 7- Subtract 2 times the last digit from the rest.
Such as – 483
48 – 3 x 2 = 48 – 6 = 42 Divisible by 7.
112 = 11 – 2 x 2 = 11- 4 = 7
343 = 34 – 3 x 2 = 34 - 6 = 28
7. Divisibility by 8 – If the last 3 digits of a number are divisible by 8, then that number is also divisible by 8.
Such as 247864 is divisible by 8.
8. Divisibility by 9 – If the sum of all digits of a number is divisible by 9, then that number is also
divisible by 9.
Such as 2432435 = 2+4+ 3+2+4+3 = 18 Divisible by 9. But 6895 is not divisible by 9.
9. Divisibility by 10 – The number whose last digit is 0, is divisible by 10.
10. Divisibility by 11 – If the difference between “sum of digits at even place” and “sum of digits at odd
place” is 0 or divisible by 11, then that number is divisible by 11.
Such as 48 32718
Sum of Odd places 4+3+7+8 = 22 Sum of Even places 8+2+1 = 11

Difference : 11 - 22 = -11 This difference is divisible by 11 .
11. Divisibility by 12 – If a number is divisible by 3 and 4 both, then that number is divisible by 12.
Such as – 19044.
12. Divisibility by 13 - Multiply last digit by 4 and add to the rest.
17
Such as – 143 : 3 x 4 + 14 = 12+14 = 26 and 325 : 5 x 4 + 32 = 20+32 = 52

13. Divisibility by 14 – If a number is divisible by 2 and 7 both then that number is divisible by 14.
14. Divisibility by 15 - If a number is divisible by 3 and 5 both then that number is divisible by 15.
15. Divisibility by 16 – If last 4 digits of a number are divisible by 16, then whole number is divisible by 16.
Such as 341920
16. Divisibility by 17 - Subtract 5 times the last digit from the rest.
Such as 221 = 22 - 5x 1 = 22 - 5 = 17
Such as 1904 = 190 – 4 x 5 = 190 - 20 = 170
17. Divisibility by 18 – If a number is divisible by both 2 and 9, then whole number is divisible by 18. Such as
1008 and 9882 are divisible by 18.
18. Divisibility by 19 - Add twice the last digit to the rest.
Such as 437, 361, 1615
 To find the unit’s place digits of a given exponential

for example, how to find unit digit of (2035)125
Rule 1 : If base is 0,1,5 and 6 : The unit digit remains same Ir - respective of Power.
Such as (2150676)128 , (12481)1246, , (43780)2156 (124565)367
Rule 2 : If base is 4, check the power
(a ) If power is even – Units digits will be 6

(b) If power is odd – Units digit will be 4
Rule 3 : If base is 9, check the power
(a) If the power is even – Units digits will be 1
(b) If the power is odd – Units digits will be 9
Rule 4 : If base is 2, 3, 7 and 8
Step -1 : First divide power by 4 and find the remainder and take remainder as n.
Step-2 : (Take unit digit of base )n
Note: - If remainder is zero, then take n = 4.
Some Examples.
(134647)553 Step 1 : Divide power by 4 , We get quotient 138 and remainder is 1. Now take n = 1
18
Step 2 : (Take unit digit of base )n = (7)1 = 7
Next Example : (134647)552 Step 1 : Divide 552 by 4 , We get quotient 138 and remainder is 0. Now
take n = 4
Step 2 : (Take unit digit of base )n = (7)4 = 24
