Number System

Types Of Numbers
• Natural Numbers(N): - 1,2,3,4,5,6…….. +∞

• Whole Numbers(W): - 0, N

• Integers(I): - - ∞ ,………., -3,-2,-1,W

• Rational(Q):-A number which can be represented in (P/Q)

form in such a way that P,QeI& Q!=0

• Irrational(Q’): - A number whose (P/Q) form does not

exist is called as Irrational Numbers.

 Finding Unit digit of np

What is unit digit of np

To find unit digit of np remove all the digits of n except

unit digit.
Divide power by 4 and take the remainder
If remainder is nonzero, replace power with remainder
and the answer is unit digit of Nr.
If remainder is zero replace power with 4 and the
answer is unit digit of N4

 No of zeros at the end of N!
70=7*10=7*2*5
If any number is getting multiplied with pair of
2*5 it will get a zero at the end
• 5!=120
There is only one zero at the end of 5! Because
5!=5*4*3*2*1 and we can see that there is only
one pair of 2 and 5 can be formed.
 No of zeros at the end of N!
• To find the number of zeroes at the end of N!,
successively divide N by 5 till the quotient
becomes less than 5
• Once the quotient is less than 5 add all the
quotients to get the answer.
