THEORY OF NUMBERS FOR ALL COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION

 OPERATION ON NUMBERS



1. Prime Numbers and Composite Numbers:

- Prime Numbers: A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. Examples include 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.

- Composite Numbers: A composite number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not prime, meaning it has divisors other than 1 and itself. Examples include 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10.


Example: Determine if 29 is prime or composite.

Solution: 29 is only divisible by 1 and 29 itself, making it a prime number.


2. Factors and Divisors:

- Factors: Factors of a number are the integers that divide the number without leaving a remainder. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

- Divisors: Divisors are the numbers that divide a given number evenly. They are also called factors.


Example:Find the factors of 24.

Solution:The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.


3. Prime Factorization:

- Prime Factorization involves expressing a number as a product of its prime factors.

- Example: Prime factorization of 60: 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 2² × 3 × 5.


Example:Find the prime factorization of 84.

Solution: 84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 2² × 3 × 7.


4. Divisibility Rules:

- Divisibility rules help determine if one number is divisible by another without performing actual division.

- Example: Divisibility rule for 2: A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, 8).


Example: Is 4752 divisible by 8?

Solution: Since the last three digits (752) are divisible by 8, 4752 is divisible by 8.


5. LCM (Least Common Multiple):

- The LCM of two or more numbers is the smallest multiple that is common to all of them.

- Example: Find the LCM of 12 and 18.

Solution: Prime factorization of 12: 2² × 3, Prime factorization of 18: 2 × 3². LCM = 2² × 3² = 36.


6. GCD (Greatest Common Divisor):

- The GCD of two or more numbers is the largest positive integer that divides all of them.

- Example: Find the GCD of 30 and 45.

Solution:Prime factorization of 30: 2 × 3 × 5, Prime factorization of 45: 3² × 5. GCD = 3 × 5 = 15.


7. Exponents and Powers:

- Exponents indicate how many times a number is multiplied by itself.

- Example: Calculate 5³.

Solution: 5³ = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125.


8. Perfect Squares and Cubes:

- Perfect square is the square of an integer, and a perfect cube is the cube of an integer.

- Example: Determine if 64 is a perfect square.

Solution: 64 is a perfect square since it can be expressed as 8².


9. Triangular Numbers:

- A triangular number is the sum of the first n natural numbers.

- Example: Find the 5th triangular number.

Solution:1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15.


10. Factorial:

- Factorial of a non-negative integer n (denoted as n!) is the product of all positive integers from 1 to n.

- Example: Calculate 4! (4 factorial).

Solution: 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24.


11. Remainder Theorem:

- The remainder when a number is divided by another number gives insight into the relationship between the two numbers.

- Example: Find the remainder when 257 is divided by 8.

Solution: 257 ÷ 8 = 32 with a remainder of 1.


12. Summation of Series:

- Calculating the sum of a series of numbers involves using formulas to simplify the process.

- Example: Find the sum of the first 10 natural numbers.

Solution: Sum = 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 10 = 55.


13. Unit Digit:

- The unit digit of a number plays a crucial role in determining the properties of numbers, including divisibility and remainders.

- Example: Find the unit digit of 7⁴.

Solution:The unit digits of the powers of 7 follow a pattern: 7, 9, 3, 1. Therefore, the unit digit of 7⁴ is 1


DIVISIBILITY TESTS


1. Divisibility by 2:

A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).


Example: 548 is divisible by 2 because the last digit is 8 (even).


2. Divisibility by 3:

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.


Example: 714 is divisible by 3 because 7 + 1 + 4 = 12, which is divisible by 3.


3. Divisibility by 4:

A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4.


Example: 548 is divisible by 4 because 48 is divisible by 4.


4. Divisibility by 5:

A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 or 5.


Example: 235 is not divisible by 5 because the last digit is 5 (odd).


5. Divisibility by 6:

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.


Example:732 is divisible by 6 because it is divisible by 2 and the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.


6. Divisibility by 7:

There is no simple rule for divisibility by 7, but for larger numbers, it's often easier to perform the division directly.


Example: 175 is not easily determined to be divisible by 7 using a simple rule.


7. Divisibility by 8:

A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by its last three digits is divisible by 8.


Example:4568 is divisible by 8 because 568 is divisible by 8.


8. Divisibility by 9:

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.


Example:891 is divisible by 9 because 8 + 9 + 1 = 18, which is divisible by 9.


9. Divisibility by 10:

A number is divisible by 10 if it ends with a 0.


Example:430 is divisible by 10 because it ends with 0.


10. Divisibility by 11:

A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of the digits in even and odd positions is divisible by 11.


Example: 3742 is divisible by 11 because (3 + 4) - (7 + 2) = -2, which is divisible by 11.


These divisibility tests are useful shortcuts for determining if a number is divisible by another number without performing the actual division..
