Rules

1. 3^n will always have even number of tens.


For ex: 3^3={2}7 , 3^4=[8]1,3^5=[ 24]3,3^6=[72]9
2. A sum of 5 consecutive whole numbers will always be divisible by
5.
3. The diff b/w two numbers
Xy - yx will be divisible by 9.
4. The square of an odd number when divided by 8 will always
leave a remainder of 1
5. The product of three consecutive natural numbers is divisible by
6.
6. The product of 3 consecutive natural nos the fist of which is even
is divisible by 24.
7. Odd*Odd=Odd

8. All nos not divisible by 3 have the property that their square will
have an remainder of 1 when divided by 3.
9. (a^2+b^2) /(b^2+c^2) = a^2/b^2 if a/b = b/c
10. The product of any r consecutive integers is divisible by r!.
11. If m& n are two integers then (m+n)! is divisible by m!n!.
12. Any no. written in the form 1o^n-1 is divisible by 3& 9.
13. (a)^n /(a+1) leaves a remainder of
a if n is odd
1 if n is even
(a+1)^n/a will always give a remainder of 1
