IMPORTANT FORMULAS & CONCEPTS

EUCLID'S DIVISION LEMMA
Given positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r satisfying a = bq + r, where
0--::::,r<b.
Here we call 'a' as dividend, 'b' as divisor, 'q' as quotient and 'r' as remainder.
:. Dividend= (Divisor x Quotient)+ Remainder
Ifin Euclid's lennna r= 0 then b would be HCF of 'a' and 'b'.

NATURAL NUMBERS
Counting numbers are called natural numbers i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ................ ru·e natural numbers.

WHOLE NUMBERS
All counting numbers/natural numbers along with 0 ru·e called whole numbers i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
................ ru·e whole numbers.

INTEGERS
All natural numbers, negative of natural numbers and 0, together are called integers. i.e.
.......... - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, .............. ru·e integers.

ALGORITHM
An algorithm is a series of well defined steps which gives a procedure for solving a type of
problem

LEMMA
A lemma is a proven statement used for proving another statement.

EUCLID'S DIVISION ALGORITITh'I

Euclid's division algorithm is a technique to compute the Highest Connnon Factor (HCF) of two
given positive integers. Recall that the HCF of two positive integers a and b is the largest positive
integer d that divides both a and b.

To obtain the HCF of two positive integers, say c and d, with c > d, follow the steps below:
Step 1 : Apply Euclid's division lemma, to c and d. So, we find whole numbers, q and r such that c
= dq + r, 0 --::::, r < d .
Step 2 : If r = 0, dis the HCF ofc and d. Ifr :;t 0 apply the division lemma to d and r.
Step 3 : Continue the process till the remainder is zero. The divisor at this stage will be the required
HCF.
This algorithm works because HCF (c, d) = HCF (d, r) where the symbol HCF (c, d) denotes the
HCF ofc and d, etc.

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

Eve1y composite number can be expressed ( factorised) as a product of primes, and this factorisation
is unique, apart from the order in which the primefactors occur.

The prime factorisation of a natural number is unique, except for the order of its factors.
❖ HCF is the highest corrnnon factor also known as GCD i.e. greatest common divisor.
❖ LCM of two numbers is their least common multiple.
❖ Property ofHCF and LCM of two positive integers 'a' and 'b':

 ► HCF(a,b)xLCM(a,b) = axb
axb
► LCM(a,b) =
HCF(a,b)
axb
► HCF(a b)=
' LCM(a,b)

PRIME FACTORISATION :METHOD TO FIND HCF AND LCM

HCF(a, b) = Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers.
LCM(a, b) = Product of the greatest power of each prin1e factor, involved in the numbers.

Eve1y rational number can be expressed in decimal form and the decimal fo1m will be either
te11Ilinating or non-terminating repeating. e.g. � = 2.5 (Terminating), � = 0.66666.... or 0.6 (Non-
2 3
terminating repeating).

IRRATIONAL NUMBERS
The munbers which are not rational ar·e called irrational numbers. e.g. .fi_, ✓3, .Js, etc.
❖ Let p be a prime number. Jfp divides a2, then p divides a, where a is a positive integer.
❖ If p is a positive integer which is not a perfect squar·e, then J;;; is an inational, e.g.
.
.fi , ✓5, ✓6 , ✓8, ...etc.
❖ If p is prime, then ✓P is also an inational.
RATIONAL NUMBERS AND THEIR DECIMAL EXPANSIONS
► Let x be a rational number whose decimal expansion terminates. Then x can be expressed in the
p
form where p and q are coprime, and the prime factorisation of q is of the fom1 2n5m, where
q
n, 111 are non-negative integers.

p
► Let x = be a rational number, such that the prime factorisation of q is of the Jann Y'5m, where
q
n, 111 are non-negaUve integers. Then x has a decimal expansion which tenninates.
p
► Let x = be a rational number, such that the prime factorisation of q is not of the fonn 2n5m,
q
where n, 111 are non-negative integers. Then, x has a decimal expansion which is non-tenninating
repeating (recurring).

❖ The decimal fonn of irrational numbers is non-tenninating and non-repeating.

❖ Those decimals which are non-terminating and non-repeating will be in·afional numbers.
e.g. 0.20200200020002... .... i.s a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal, so it
irrational.
