Important points


A1:                       The product of GCF (greatest common factor) and LCM ( least common factor) of two numbers if equal to the product of two numbers.
LCM×GCF=a×b        (let the numbers are a and b)

A2:                       Every integer greater than 1 that is not a prime can be written as a product of primes. e.g, 12 can be written as 2×2×3

A3:                       Every integer has a finite set of factors (or divisors) and an infinite set of multiples.

A4:                       Some important points about integers:
1.     If two integers are both even or both odd, their sum and difference are even.
2.     If one integer is even and the other is  odd, their sum and difference are odd.
3.     The product of two integers is even unless both of them are odd.

A5:                       Important inequalities for numbers between 0 to 1:
1.     If 0<x<1, and a is positive, then xa<a
2.     If 0<x<a, and m and n are integers with m>n>1, then xm<xn<x.
3.     If 0<x<1, then squrare root of x>x
4.     If 0<x<1, then 1/x>x. In fact,1/x>1

A6:                       If fraction have the same nominator then , if the denominators are positive, then the fraction with smaller denominator is greater.

A7:                       In solving percent problems, first convert sentences into equation, for this replace
1.     “what” by “x”
2.     “of” by sign of multiply i.e, “×”
3.     “is” by sign of equality i.e, “=”
4.     “Percent” means “per cent” means 1/100   . So replace percent by 1/100   .

A8:                       Use following formula while solving percentage questions:
1.     Original × percentage= apart
This formula  can also be written as:  actual × percent = changed.

A9:                       For any positive number a : a % of 100 is a.

A10:                  For any positive numbers a and b: a% of b = b% of a

A11:                  If a set of objects is divided into two groups in the ratio of a:b, then the first group contains a/(a+b)   of the objects and the second group contains b/(a+b) of the objects.
