Frequently Asked Questions
Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers, representing all points on the number line.
Rational numbers can be expressed asp/qp/qp/qwherepppandqqqare integers andq?0q \neq 0q?=0.
Irrational numbers cannot be expressed asp/qp/qp/q; their decimal expansion is non-terminating and non-repeating.
Euclid, an ancient Greek mathematician, proposed the division lemma used for finding HCF.
For any two positive integersaaaandbbb, there exist unique integersqqqandrrrsuch thata=bq+ra = bq + ra=bq+r, where0=r<b0 \leq r < b0=r<b.
It helps find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two numbers using repeated division.
It is the process of applying Euclid’s Lemma repeatedly to find the HCF of two numbers.
HCF (Highest Common Factor) is the greatest number that divides two or more numbers exactly.
LCM (Least Common Multiple) is the smallest number divisible by the given numbers.
HCF×LCM=Product of the two numbers\text{HCF} \times \text{LCM} = \text{Product of the two numbers}HCF×LCM=Product of the two numbers.
Prime numbers are natural numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors: 1 and itself.
Composite numbers have more than two factors. Examples: 4, 6, 8, 9.
Every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes in a unique way, except for order of factors.
Expressing a number as a product of prime numbers.
List prime factors of each number and multiply common factors with least power.
