Numbers - Important Facts And Formulae
IMPORTANT FACTS AND FORMULAE
I. Numeral : In Hindu Arabic system, there are ten symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and these symbols called digits to represent any number.
A group of digits that denoting a number is called a numeral.
We can represent a number, say 689745132 as shown below :
We read it as :- 'Sixty-eight crores, ninety-seven lacs, forty-five thousand, one hundred and thirty-two'.
II. Local Value or Place Value of a Digit in a Numeral :
In the above numeral :
Place value of 2 is (2 x 1) = 2; Place value of 3 is (3 x 10) = 30;
Place value of 1 is (1 x 100) = 100 and so on.
Place value of 6 is 6 x 108 = 600000000
III.Face Value : It is the value of the digit itself in a numeral at whatever place it may be. In the above numeral,
face value of 2 is 2;
face value of 3 is 3 and so on
IV.TYPES OF NUMBERS :
1.Natural Numbers : Counting numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7..... are called natural numbers.
2.Whole Numbers : All the counting numbers together with the zero form the set of whole numbers. Thus,
(i) 0 is only the whole number which is not a natural number(zero is not a natural number).
(ii) Every natural number is a whole number(except zero).
3.Integers : All the natural numbers, 0 and negatives of counting numbers i.e., {…, - 3 , - 2 , - 1 , 0, 1, 2, 3,…..} together form the set of the integers.
(i) Positive Integers : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 …..} is the set of all positive integers.
(ii) Negative Integers : {- 1, - 2, - 3, -4…..} is the set of all negative integers.
(iii) Non-Positive and Non-Negative Integers : 0 is neither positive nor negative. So, {0, 1, 2, 3, 4….} represents the set of non-negative integers, while {0, - 1 , - 2 , - 3 , -4 …..} represents the set of non-positive integers.
4. Even Numbers : A number which is divisible by 2 is called an even number, e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 etc.
5. Odd Numbers : A number which is not divisible by 2 is called an odd number. e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc.
6. Prime Numbers : A number that is greater than 1 is called a prime number and if it has exactly two factors, namely 1 and the number itself.
Prime numbers up to 100 are : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.
7.Composite Numbers : Numbers that are greater than 1 which are not prime, are known as the composite numbers, e.g., 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12.
Note : (i) 1 is neither prime nor composite.
(ii) 2 is the only even number which is prime.
(iii) There are 25 prime numbers between 1 and 100.
8. Co-primes : Two numbers say a and b are said to be co-primes, if their H.C.F. is 1. e.g., (2, 3), (4, 5), (7, 9), (8, 11), etc. are co-primes,
V. TESTS OF DIVISIBILITY
1. Divisibility By 2 :- A number is divisible by 2, if its unit's digit is any of :- 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.
Ex. 849372 is divisible by 2, while 659315 is not.
2. Divisibility By 3 :- A number is divisible by 3, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Ex.5924823 is divisible by 3, since sum of its digits = (5 + 9 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 2+3) = 33, which
is divisible by 3.
But, 8643292 is not divisible by 3, since sum of its digits =(8 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 9+2) = 34,
which is not divisible by 3.
3. Divisibility By 4 :- A number is divisible by 4, if the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4.
Ex. 892644 is divisible by 4, since the number formed by the last two digits is 44, which is divisible by 4.
But, 749281 is not divisible by 4, since the number formed by the last two digits is 81, which is not divisible by 4.
4. Divisibility By 5 :- A number is divisible by 5, if its unit's digit is either 0 or 5. Thus,
20820 and 50345 are divisible by 5, while 30934 and 40946 are not.
5. Divisibility By 6 :- A number is divisible by 6, if it is divisible by both 2 and 3. Ex. The number 35256 is clearly divisible by 2.
Sum of its digits = (3 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 6) = 21, which is divisible by 3. Thus, 35256 is divisible by 2 as well as 3. Hence, 35256 is divisible by 6.
6. Divisibility By 8 :- A number is divisible by 8, if the number formed by the last three digits of the given number is divisible by 8.
Ex. 953360 is divisible by 8, since the number formed by last three digits is 360, which is divisible by 8.
But, 529418 is not divisible by 8, since the number formed by last three digits is 418, which is not divisible by 8.
7. Divisibility By 9 :- A number is divisible by 9, if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
Ex. 60732 is divisible by 9, since sum of digits * (6 + 0 + 7 + 3 + 2) = 18, which is divisible by 9.
But, 68956 is not divisible by 9, since sum of digits = (6 + 8 + 9 + 5 + 6) = 34, which is not divisible by 9.
8. Divisibility By 10 :- A number is divisible by 10, if it ends with 0.
Ex. 96410, 10480 are divisible by 10, while 96375 is not.
9. Divisibility By 11 :- A number is divisible by 11, if the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and the sum of its digits at even places, is either 0 or a number divisible by 11.
Ex. The number 4832718 is divisible by 11, since :
(sum of digits at odd places) - (sum of digits at even places) - (8 + 7 + 3 + 4) - (1 + 2 + 8) = 11, which is divisible by 11.
10. Divisibility By 12 :- A number is divisible by 12, if it is divisible by both 4 and 3.
Ex. Consider the number 34632.
(i) The number formed by last two digits is 32, which is divisible by 4,
(ii) Sum of digits = (3 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 2) = 18, which is divisible by 3. Thus, 34632 is
divisible by 4 as well as 3. Hence, 34632 is divisible by 12.
11. Divisibility By 14 :- A number is divisible by 14, if it is divisible by 2 as well as 7.
12. Divisibility By 15 :- A number is divisible by 15, if it is divisible by both 3 and 5.
13. Divisibility By 16 :- A number is divisible by 16, if the number formed by the last 4 digits is divisible by 16.
Ex.7957536 is divisible by 16, since the number formed by the last four digits is 7536,
which is divisible by 16.
14. Divisibility By 24 :- A given number is divisible by 24, if it is divisible by both3 and 8.
15. Divisibility By 40 :- A given number is divisible by 40, if it is divisible by both 5 and 8.
16. Divisibility By 80 :- A given number is divisible by 80, if it is divisible by both 5 and 16.
Note : If a number is divisible by p as well as q, where p and q are co-primes, then the given number is divisible by pq.
If p arid q are not co-primes, then the given number need not be divisible by pq, even when it is divisible by both p and q.
Ex. 36 is divisible by both 4 and 6, but not divisible by (4x6) = 24, since 4 and 6 are not co-primes.
