Chapter Number System, Simplification

01 and Approximation
This chapter forms a basis of many other topics in mathematics. Let us begin by understanding various types of numbers.
(1) Natural Numbers: All the counting numbers are called natural number.
Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ......
(a) Even Numbers: The numbers which are exactly divisible by 2 are called even numbers.
Example: 2, 4, 6, 8, ...
(b) Odd Numbers: The numbers which leave a remainder 1 when divided by 2 are called odd numbers.

number.
Example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ....
Co-primes → Two numbers which have no common factor between them except 1 are said to be co-prime to
each other. The two numbers individually may be prime or composite.
Example: 13 and 29 are co-primes.
(d) Composite Numbers: Numbers which are divisible by other numbers along with 1 and itself are called
composite numbers.
Example: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, .....
The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.

(2) Whole Numbers: Natural numbers along with ‘0’ form the set of whole numbers.
Example: 0, 1, 2, 3, .....
(3) Integers: All counting numbers and their negatives along with zero are called Integers.
Example: ......-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, .......
𝑝
(4) Rational and Irrational Numbers: Any number which can be expressed in the form of , where p and q are integers
𝑞
and q≠0, is a rational number.
𝟑
Example: 5 , 4, –6, etc.
Numbers which are represented by non–terminating and non–recurring decimals are called irrational numbers.
Example: √2 = 1.414....., √3 = 1.732.....
(5) Real Numbers: Rational and irrational number taken together are called real numbers.

We can summarise the above discussion as follows :

integers integers

Some important formula :

1. a²–b² = (a + b) (a – b)
2. (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab
3. (a – b)² = a² + b² – 2ab

4. (a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac

5. (a +b)³ = a³ + b³ + 3ab (a + b)
6. (a –b)³ = a³ – b³ – 3ab (a – b)
7. a³ + b³ = (a + b) (a² + b² –ab)
8. a³ – b³ = (a – b) (a² + b² + ab)
9. a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc = (a + b + c) (a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ac)

Tests of divisibility
Divisibility by 2: A number is divisible by 2 if its unit digit is zero or an even number.
Example: 248, 130
Divisibility by 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digit is divisible by 3.
Example: 279 → 2 + 7 + 9 = 18.
18 is divisible by 3, hence 279 is divisible by 3.
Divisibility by 4: A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4.
Example: 236784
Here, 84 is divisible by 4, hence 236784 is divisible by 4.
Divisibility by 5: A number is divisible by 5 if the number or its unit digit is either 5 or 0.
Example: 115, 240, etc.
Divisibility by 6: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
Example: 318, 396, etc.
Divisibility by 8: A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by its last 3 digit is divisible by 8.
Example: 23816.
Here, 816 is divisible by 8, hence 23816 is divisible by 8.
Divisibility by 9: A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of all its digits is divisible by 9.
Example: 72936 → 7 + 2 + 9 + 3 + 6 = 27
27 is divisible by 9, hence 72936 is divisible by 9.
Divisibility by 11: A number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the alternate digits starting from the units
digit and the sum of the alternate digits starting from the tens digit is either ‘0’ or is a multiple of 11.
Example: 1331
(1 + 3) – (3 + 1) = 0 ⇒ 1331 is divisible by 11.
Divisibility by 19: A number is divisible by 19 if the sum of the number formed by digits other than the unit digit and
twice the unit digit is divisible by 19.
Example: 76 ⇒ 7 + (2 × 6) = 19.
Therefore 76 is divisible by 19.

Least Common Multiple (LCM)

LCM of two or more numbers is the least number which is divisible by each of these numbers.

Finding LCM
Write the numbers as product of prime factors. Then multiply the product of all the prime factors of the first number by
those prime factors of the second number which are not common to the prime factors of the first number.
The product is then multiplied by those prime factors of the third number which are not common to the prime factors of
the first two numbers.
The final product after considering all the numbers will be the LCM of these numbers.

Example: Find the LCM of 540 and 108?

540 = 2 × 27 × 10 = 2² × 3³ × 5
108 = 22 × 3³
LCM = 22 × 3³ × 5 = 4 × 27 × 5 = 540

Finding LCM by division

Choose one prime factor common to at least two of the given numbers write the given numbers in a row and divide them
by the above prime number. Write the quotient for each number under the number itself. If a number is not divisible by
the prime factor selected, wirte the number as it is Repeat this process untill you get quotients which have no common
factor.

The product of all the divisors and the numbers in the last line will be the LCM.
Example: Find the LCM of 36, 84 and 90
3 36, 84, 90
3 12, 28, 30
2 4, 28, 10
2 2, 14, 5
1, 7, 5

LCM = 3 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 5 = 1260

Highest Common Factor (HCF)

HCF is the largest factor of two or more given numbers.
HCF is also called Greatest Common Divisor (GCD).

Finding HCF by Factorisation method

Express each given number as a product of primes factors. The product of the prime factors common to all the numbers
will be the HCF.

Example: Find the HCF of 144, 336 and 2016?

144 = 12 × 12 = 3 × 2² × 3 × 2² = 3² × 24
336 = 24 × 3 × 7
2016 = 25 × 7 × 3²
HCF = 3 × 24 = 48

Finding HCF by Division method

Divide the greater number by the smaller number. Then divide the divisor by the remainder. Now, divide the second
divisor by the second remainder
We repeat this process till no remainder is left. The last divisor is the HCF.
Then using the same method, find the HCF of this HCF and the third number. This will be the HCF of the three numbers.

Example: HCF of 144, 336

144 336 ( 2
288
48 144 ( 3
144
0
HCF = 48

Simplification
BODMAS Rule
This rule depicts the correct sequence in which the operations are to be executed, so as to find out the value of a given
expression.
B → Bracket
O → Of
D → Division
M → Multiplication
A → Addition
S → Subtraction

Thus in simplifying an expression, first of all the brackets must be removed, strictly in the order (), { }, [].
After removing the brackets, we must use the following operations strictly in the order :
(i) of (ii) Division (iii) Multiplication (iv) Addition (v) Subtraction

Approximation
One needs to solve the questions of approximation by taking the nearest approximate values and mark the answers
accordingly.

Example: If the given value is 3.009, then the approximate value is 3.

If the given value is 4.45, then the approximate value is 4.50.
Example 1: 2959.85 ÷ 16.001 – 34.99 = ?
(a) 160 (b) 150 (c) 140 (d) 180 (e) 170
Sol. (b); 2959.85 ÷ 16.001 – 34.99 ≅ 2960 ÷ 16 – 35 = 185 – 35 = 150

Example 2: (1702 ÷ 68) × 136.05 = ?

(a) 3500 (b) 3550 (c) 3450 (d) 3400 (e) 3525
Sol. (d); (1702 ÷ 68) × 136.05 (1700 ÷ 68) × 136 3400

Some shortcuts and tricks for calculations

Multiplication by a number close to 10, 100, 1000, etc
Example: 999 = 1000 – 1 ; 101 = 100 + 1
To multiply with such numbers, convert the number into the form of (10+C) or (100+C) etc.
Example: 46 × 98 = 46 × (100 – 2) = 46 × 100 – 46 × 2 = 4600 – 92 = 4508

Multiplication by 5 or powers of 5: can be converted into multiplication by 10 or powers of 10 by dividing it by 2 and

its powers.
10 3 234500
Example: 2345 × 125 = 2345 × 5³ = 2345 × ( 2 ) = 8
= 293125

Square of a number which ends with 5.

(1) Last two digits of the square are always 25.
(2) To find the number which comes before 25, perform the operation n×(n+1), where n is the digit before 5 in the original
number.
(3) Put the number received in step 2 before 25 and you get the square.

Example: (65)² = ?
(1) Last two digits are 25.
(2) The digit before 5 is 6 perform n × (n + 1) operation on this = 6 × (6 + 1) = 6 × 7 = 42
(3) Hence the square of 65 will be 4225.

Square of a number containing repeated 1’s

(1) Count the number of digits. Let the count be n.
(2) Now, starting from 1, write the number till n.
(3) Then, starting from n write the number till 1.
Example: Find the square of 1111?
Sol. There are four 1’s. Now we write numbers from 1 to 4. Then again form 4 to 1. So, (1111) 2 = 1234321

Multiplying 2-digit numbers where the unit’s digits add upto 10 and ten’s digits are same
Example: 42 × 48 = ?
(1) First multiply the unit digits of the numbers. 2 × 8 = 16
(2) Then multiply 4 by (4 +1) ⇒ 4 × 5 = 20.
(3) The answer is 2016.

Multiplying numbers just over/below 100

Example: 108 × 109 = 11772.
The answer is in two parts : 117 and 72.
117 is (108 + 9) or (109 + 8), and 72 is 8 × 9.

113 42
new, check for 107 × 106 = (7 × 6)
(107+6)
or
(106+7)

Multiplication of a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number

Example: 12 × 13?
Sol. Steps:
1. Multiply the right-hand digits of multiplicand and multiplier (unit-digit of multiplicand with unit-digit of the
multiplier).
1 2

1 3
6(2  3)

2. Now, do cross-multiplication, i.e., multiply 3 by 1 and 1 by 2. Add the two products and write down to the left of 6.
1 2

1 3
56
3. In the last step we multiply the left-hand figures of both multiplicand and multiplier (ten’s digit of multiplicand with
ten’s digit of multiplier).

Some more short tricks:

(1) 2 + 22 + 222 + 2222 = 2 (1 + 11 + 111 + 1111)
2 (1234) = 2468
(2) 0.2 + 0.22 + 0.222 + 0.2222 + 022222 = 2 (0.1 + 0.11 + 0.111 + 0.1111 + 0.11111) = 2 (0.54321) = 1.08642
(3) 2 + 8 + 22 + 88 + 222 + 888 + 2222 + 8888 + 22222 + 88888 = 2 (12345) + 8 (12345)
= (12345) ( 2 + 8) = 12345 × 10 = 123450
(4) (2222)2 = 22 × (1111)2 = 4 × (1234321) = 4937284

Finding the unit place digit when a number is raised to some power
(1) When the unit digit of a number is 0, 1, 5, or 6, then on raising that number to any power, the new number obtained
will have its unit digit 0, 1, 5, or 6 respectively.
(2) When the unit digit of a number is 2:
Example: (122)159
Divide 159 by 4
159
4
→ remainder = 3

(unit digit of 122)3 = 23 = 8

So, the unit digit of (122)159 = 8
(3) When the unit digit of the number is 3.
