TUTORIAL

Natural Numbers (N):

    *   (Positive Integers) 1,2,3,4,.............∞.

Whole Numbers (W):

    *   (set of all natural numbers and 0) 0,1,2,3,4,5,...........∞.

Integers (Z):

    *   -∞...........-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,.............∞.

Even Numbers:

    *   2,4,6,8,............∞.
    *   Numbers are exactly divisible by 2. These numbers are end with even number or zero.

Odd Numbers:

    *   1,3,5,7,.............∞.
    *   Numbers are not exactly divisible by 2. These numbers are end with odd number.
    *   Sum of any two odd number is always an even number.
    *   Product of any two odd numbers always an odd number.

Rational Numbers:

    *   Numbers which can be expressed in the form of p / q where p and q both are integers, and q is a non-zero integer.
    *   A number expressed in the form of p  ÷  q is also called a fraction, where p is numerator and q is denominator.
    *   A fraction when converted into decimal, gives finite or recurring digits after decimal sign.

Ex: ¼,¾,½,

Mixed numbers:

    *   Numbers which consists of a whole number and a fraction.
        Ex: 3¼, 5¼, 7¾, etc.

Irrational Numbers:

    *   Numbers which cannot be expressed in the form of p ÷ q where p and q both are integers i.e. the numbers which are not Rational.
    *   These numbers when converted into decimal, give infinite and non-recurring digits after decimal sign.
         Ex: π, √2, √3, √25.

Real Numbers: 

    *   Real Numbers are combination of rational and irrational numbers.

Complex or imaginary Numbers:

    *   These numbers are written as 'a+bi' where i²=-1.

Composite Numbers:

    *   The number which have more than two factors.
        Ex: 4,6,8,9.

Prime Numbers:

    *   A number which is not divisible by any number other than 1 and itself. such numbers have only two factors, the number itself and 1.
        Ex: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19.

    *   1 is neither a prime number nor a composite number.
    *   Product of any two prime numbers is always a composite number, since the product is divisible by both the prime numbers.

Twin-Prime Numbers:

    *   Pairs of such prime numbers whose difference is 2.
        Ex: 3 and 5, 11 and 13.

Co-Prime Numbers:

    *   Co-Prime Numbers are those numbers which are prime to each other i.e they don't have any common factor other than 1.
    *   Since these numbers do not have any common factor, their HCF is 1 and their LCM is equal to product of the numbers.
    *   Co-Prime numbers can be prime or composite numbers. Any two prime numbers are always co-prime numbers.
        Ex1: 3 and 5 both numbers are prime numbers.
        Ex2: 8 and 15 both numbers are composite numbers but they are prime to each other i.e. they don't have any common factor.

Face Value and Base Value:

    *   Face value is absolute value of the digit in a number.
    *   Place value or Local Value is value of a digit in relation to its position in the numbers.
        Ex: Face value and place value of 9 in 12921 is 9 and 900.

BODMAS Rule:

    *   Any simplification of an expression may involve various operations, these operations must be performed in the following order of preference.

    * B:Bracket:
      If more then one type of brackets are found, they are operated in the following order.
         1. First: (¯) line or bar bracket or vinculum bracket.
         2. Second: ( ) small bracket.
         3. Third: {} Mid Bracket.
         4. Fourth: [ ] Large Bracket.

    * O(of): means multiplication but is operated before division.

    * D: Division.

    * M: Multiplication.

    * A: Addition.

    * S: Subtraction.

Note:

1. if sum of two numbers a and b is x and difference between the numbers is y. then a= x+y/2 and b = x-y/2

2. if on adding 9 to a two digit number (say xy), its digits are reversed. Then units digit of the number exceeds its ten's digit by 1. similarly, if on adding 9a to a two digit number its digits are reversed, then units digit of the number exceeds its tens digit by a i.e. x+a = y if digits are reversed on subtracting 9a from the number then x-a = y Difference between two digits of the number added/subtracted ÷ 9.

3. If on adding 99a to a three digit number (say xyz), its digits are reversed, then x+a = z
If digits are reversed on subtracting 99a from the number, then x-a = z.

4. if a composite number C, can be expressed as a^m x b^n x c^p....., where a,b,c,....are prime factors and m,n,p,....are natural numbers,then total number of factors of C = (m+1)x(n+1)x(p+1)....
Total number of factors includes unity and the number itself.
