 Some facts :

► Prime numbers:Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that only have two factors, 1 and the
number itself.
• Prime numbers are natural numbers greater than 1.
• 2 is the smallest prime number.
• 2 is the only even prime number. All the prime numbers except 2 are odd.
• Any two prime numbers are always coprime.
• Every prime number can be written in the form of 6n + 1 or 6n – 1 say 79.
• Between 1-50 there are 15 prime numbers , and between 50-100 there are 10.
• Composite numbers: A composite number is a natural number or a positive integer which has
more than two factors.
• O+O---E E+E---E E+O---O.
Divisibility Rule for 13
► Add 4 times the last digit to the remaining truncated number. Repeat the step as necessary. If the result is divisible
by 13, the original number is also divisible by 13. For example: 3146
Divisibility Rule for 17
► Subtract 5 times the last digit from remaining truncated number. Repeat the step as necessary. If the result is
divisible by 17, the original number is also divisible by 17 . For example: 2278 .
► Any number of the form abab is always divisible by 101.
► Any number of the form abcabc is always divisible by 1001.
► Any number of the form ababab is always divisible by 10101.

 Remainders:

Question:
233+123+445+990+4444+1112 is divided by 2 , find the remainder ?

Fermat’s theorem-
If p is a prime and a is an integer co-prime to p,then [a^(p-1)]/p gives remainder 1.
Example:- Find the remainder when 72^40 divide by 41?

Wilson’s Theorem-
This theorem state that for a prime number p , (p-1)! Divide by p , then the remainder is p-1.
Example: - Find the remainder when 16! is divided by 17.

Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder.
