CHAPTER –1. NUMBER SYSTEM

KEY POINTS-

Introduction to Natural Numbers


Non-negative counting numbers excluding zero are called Natural
Numbers.
N = {1, 2, 3, 4,5…}
Whole Numbers
All natural numbers including zero are called Whole
Numbers.
W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…}
Integers
All natural numbers, 0 and negatives of natural numbers are called
Integers.
Z = {……,–3,–2,–1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4…….}
Rational Numbers
The number ‘a’ is called Rational if it can be written in the form of r/s where ‘r’ and ‘s’

are integers and s ≠ 0,


Q = 2/3, 3/5,7 etc. all are rational numbers.
How to find a rational number between two given numbers?
The rational number between two given numbers ‘a’ and ‘b’ is

Example: Find two rational numbers between 4 and 5.


Solution: To find a rational number between 4 and 5.

To find another number we will follow the same process again.

Hence the two rational numbers between 4 and 5 are 9/2 and 17/4.
Remarks: There could be unlimited rational numbers between any two rational numbers.
Irrational Numbers
The number ‘a’ which cannot be written in the form of p/q is called irrational, where
p and q are integers and q ≠ 0 or you can say that the numbers which are not rational are
called Irrational Numbers.Example - √7, √11 etc.
Real Numbers

All numbers including both rational and irrational numbers are called Real
Numbers R = –2, (-2/3), 0, 3 and √2 etc.

Real Numbers and their Decimal Expansions


1. Rational Number
If the rational number is in the form of a/b then by dividing a by b we can get two
situations.

a. If the remainder becomes zero

While dividing if we get zero as the remainder after some steps then the decimal
expansion of such number is called terminating.

Example: 7/8 = 0.875

b. If the remainder does not become zero

While dividing if the decimal expansion continues and a digit or a set of finite
number of digits repeats periodically then it is called non terminating recurring or
repeating decimal expansion.

Example: 1/3 = 0.3333….

Hence, the decimal expansion of rational numbers could be terminating or non-

terminating recurring and vice-versa.


2. Irrational Numbers
If we do the decimal expansion of an irrational number then it would be non –
terminating non- recurring and vice-versa. i.e the remainder does not become zero and
also not repeated.
Example: π = 3.141592653589793238……
Operations on Real Numbers
1. The sum, difference, product and quotient of two rational numbers will be

rational.Example:

2. If we add or subtract a rational number with an irrational number then the


outcome will be irrational.
Example: If 5 is a rational number and √7 is an irrational number then 5+√7 and 5-√7 are
irrational numbers.
3. If we multiply or divide a non-zero rational number with an irrational number
then also the outcome will be irrational.
Example: If 7 is a rational number and √5 is an irrational number then 7√7 and 7/√5 are
irrational numbers.

4. The sum, difference, product and quotient of two irrational numbers could be
rational or irrational.
