The Fundamental
Theorem of Arithmetic
The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
+ (Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic) : Every composite number
can be expressed ( factorised) as a product of primes, and this
factorisation is unique, apart from the order in which the prime
factors occur.
+ In general, given a composite number x, we factorise it as x = p1
p2 ... pn , where p1 , p2 ,..., pn are primes and written in
ascending order, i.e., p1 ≤ p2 ≤ . . . ≤ pn . If we combine the
same primes, we will get powers of primes
HCF AND LCM using the Fundamental Theorem
of Arithmetic
+ Find the LCM and HCF of 600 and 420 by the prime factorisation
method.
HCF AND LCM
+For any two positive integers a and b, HCF (a, b) ×
LCM (a, b) = a × b.
HCF AND LCM
+ : Find the HCF of 96 and 404 by the prime factorisation method.
Hence, find their LCM.
HCF AND LCM
+ Find the HCF and LCM of 60, 720 and 120, using the prime
factorisation method

A number ‘s’ is called irrational if it cannot be written in the form ,
p q where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Expansions

rational numbers have either a

terminating decimal expansion or a
non-terminating repeating decimal
expansion.
rational number, say p/ q ,q ≠ , the
decimal expansion of p q is
terminating and when it is non-
terminating repeating
