Class 10 Mathematics Revision Notes Chapter 1 Real Numbers
Example 1:
For a = 15, b = 3, it can be observed that
15 = 3 × 5 + 0
Here, q = 5 and r = 0
If b divides a, then 0 < r < b
Example 2:
For a = 20, b = 6, it can be observed that 20 = 6 × 3 + 2
Here, q = 6, r = 2, 0 < 2 < 6
Steps for finding HCF of two positive integers a and b (a > b) by using
Euclid’s division algorithm:
Example:
Find the HCF of 48 and 88.
Solution:
Take a = 88, b = 48
Applying Euclid’s division lemma, we get
88 = 48 × 1 + 40 (Here, 0 ≤ 40 < 48)
48 = 40 × 1 + 8 (Here, 0 ≤ 8 < 40)
40 = 8 × 5 + 0 (Here, r = 0)
HCF (48, 88) = 8
For any positive integer a, b, HCF (a, b) × LCM (a, b) = a × b
Example 1:
Find the LCM of 315 and 360 by the prime factorisation method. Hence, find
their HCF.
Solution:
315 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 32 × 5 × 7
360 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 23 × 32 × 5
LCM = 32 × 5 × 7 × 23 = 2520
Example 2:
Find the HCF of 300, 360 and 240 by the prime factorisation method.
Solution:
300 = 22 × 3 × 52
360 = 23 × 32 × 5
240 = 24 × 3 × 5
HCF (300, 360, 240) = 22 × 3 × 5 = 60
• Euclid’s Division Lemma
For any given positive integers a and b, there exists unique
integers q and r such that
a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r < b
Example 1:
For a = 15, b = 3, it can be observed that
15 = 3 × 5 + 0
Here, q = 5 and r = 0
If b divides a, then 0 < r < b
Example 2:
For a = 20, b = 6, it can be observed that 20 = 6 × 3 + 2
Here, q = 6, r = 2, 0 < 2 < 6
Example:
Find the HCF of 48 and 88.
Solution:
Take a = 88, b = 48
Applying Euclid’s division lemma, we get
88 = 48 × 1 + 40 (Here, 0 ≤ 40 < 48)
48 = 40 × 1 + 8 (Here, 0 ≤ 8 < 40)
40 = 8 × 5 + 0 (Here, r = 0)
HCF (48, 88) = 8
Using Euclid’s division lemma to prove mathematical relationships
Result 1:
Every positive even integer is of the form 2q, while every positive odd integer is
of the form 2q + 1, where q is some integer.
Proof:
Let a be any given positive integer.
Take b = 2
By applying Euclid’s division lemma, we have
a = 2q + r where 0 ≤ r < 2
As 0 ≤ r < 2, either r = 0 or r = 1
If r = 0, then a = 2q, which tells us that a is an even integer.
If r = 1, then a = 2q + 1
It is known that every positive integer is either even or odd.
Therefore, a positive odd integer is of the form 2q + 1.
Result 2:
Any positive integer is of the form 3q, 3q + 1 or 3q + 2, where q is an integer.
Proof:
Let a be any positive integer.
Take b = 3
Applying Euclid’s division lemma, we have
a = 3q + r, where 0 ≤ r < 3 and q is an integer
Now, 0 ≤ r < 3 Þ r = 0, 1, or 2
∴ a = 3q + r
⇒ a = 3q + 0, a = 3q + 1, a = 3q + 2
Thus, a = 3q or a = 3q + 1 or a = 3q + 2, where q is an integer.
Fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that very composite number can be uniquely
expressed (factorised) as a product of primes apart from the order in which the prime
factors occur.
Example: 1260 can be uniquely factorised as
2 1260
2 630
3 315
3 105
5 35
7
1260 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7
84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7
For any positive integer a, b, HCF (a, b) × LCM (a, b) = a × b
Example 1:
Find the LCM of 315 and 360 by the prime factorisation method. Hence, find
their HCF.
Solution:
315 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 32 × 5 × 7
360 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 23 × 32 × 5
LCM = 32 × 5 × 7 × 23 = 2520
Example 2:
Find the HCF of 300, 360 and 240 by the prime factorisation method.
Solution:
300 = 22 × 3 × 52
360 = 23 × 32 × 5
240 = 24 × 3 × 5
HCF (300, 360, 240) = 22 × 3 × 5 = 60
According to fundamental theorem of arithmetic, a number can be represented as the
product of primes having a unique factorisation.
Example:
Check whether 15n in divisible by 10 or not for any natural number n. Justify
your answer.
Solution:
A number is divisible by 10 if it is divisible by both 2 and 5.
15n = (3 . 5)n
3 and 5 are the only primes that occur in the factorisation of 15n
By uniqueness of fundamental theorem of arithmetic, there is no other prime
except 3 and 5 in the factorisation of 15n.
2 does not occur in the factorisation of 15n.
Hence, 15n is not divisible by 10.
Example:
Prove that is an irrational number.
Solution:
If possible, suppose is a rational number.
Then, , where p, q are integers, q ≠ 0.
If HCF (p, q) ≠ 1, then by dividing p and q by HCF can be reduced as
where HCF (a, b) = 1 … (1)
⇒
⇒ 7b2 = a2
⇒ a2 is divisible by 7
⇒ a is divisible by 7 … (2)
⇒ a = 7c, where c is an integer
⇒ 7b2 = 49c2
⇒ b2 = 7c2
⇒ b2 is divisible by 7
⇒ b is divisible by 7 … (3)
From (2) and (3), 7 is a common factor of a and b. which contradicts (1)
∴ is an irrational number.
Example:
Show that is an irrational number.
Solution:
If possible, suppose is a rational number.
Then for some integers p, q (q ¹ 0)
Now,
(i) Terminating
(ii) Non-terminating and repetitive
In order to find decimal expansion of rational numbers we use long division method.
the form, where p and q are co-prime (the HCF of p and q is 1) and the prime
factorisation of q is of the form 2n5m, where n and m are non-negative integers.
ii. If the prime factorisation of q is not of the form 2m5n, where m and n are non-negative
integers, then x has a non-terminating and repetitive decimal expansion.
For example, has the denominator in the form 2n5m, where n = 6and m = 2 are
non-negative integers. So, it has a terminating decimal expansion.
has the denominator not in the form 2n5m, where n and m are non-negative
integers. So, it has a non-terminating decimal expansion.
