2. TEST OF DIVISIBILITY

These test help us to know whether a given number however large it maybe is divisible

by a certain division without going into the process of division.

1. Test of divisibility by "2": Any number whose last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 is divisible by 2.

Ex: The numbers 72, 908, 1426 are divisible by 2.

2. Test of divisibility by "3": A number is divisible by '3' if the sum of it's digits divisible

by 3.

Ex: 126, 147, 198....

3. Test of divisibility by '"4": A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits of a number

divisible by 4.

Ex: 124, 184, 864, 1528.....

4. Test of divisibility by "5": If a number ends in '5' (or) '0' the number is divisible by 5.

Ex: 120, 180, 175, 225, 290, 350, 520, 1000, 1550, 1900....

5. Test of divisibility by "6": If a number is divisible by both 3 & 2 the number is also divisible

by '6'.

Ex: 126, 198, 864, 1260....

6. Test of divisibility by "7": If a number is divisible by '7' if its unit digit is multiplied with

2 and sobtracted from the remaining number its result is divisible by '7' the number is divisible

by '7'.

Ex: 1. Find 343 is divisible by '7' (or) not-

Ans: 343 = 342 3 = 36 6 = = 4 So the number 343 is divisible by 7

2. Find 2961 is divisible by 7 (or) not-

Ans: 2961=296 2(1) = 294

Ex: 30, 90, 150, 470, 890, 1000, 1500, 1860...

10. Test of divisibility by "11": A number is divisible by 11, if the difference of the sum of its

digits at odd places and the sum of its digits at even places is either "0" (or) a number divisible

by '11'.

Ex: Show that 4832718 is divisible by 11 or not -(sum of digits at odd places) - (sum of digits at even places)

= [ 8 + 7 + 3 + 4] = [8 + 2 + 1] = 22 - 11 = 11, which is divisible by 11.

11. Test of divisibility by "12": Any number which is divisible by both 3 & 4 it is also divisible

by 12.

Ex: 240, 312, 612, 886......

Ratio and Proportion

Ratio: "Ratio is a relationship between two numbers of the same kind"

To express the ratio use symbol " : "

Ex: 1) The ratio of two weights of rama to that of krishna is 16 : 23 read of 16 is to 23

2) The ratio a to b is the fraction in a/b it is writen as a:b

In a:b, a = antecedent b = consequent

Rule:

i) The ratio exists b/w Quantities of the same kind

ii) They express in the same units

iii) Ratio being a fraction has no units

iv) A Ratio doesn't alter if its first and second terms are multiplied (or) divided by

the same non-zero number.

Ratio in simplest form:

" A ratio a:b is said to be in simplest form the HCF of a and b divide each of its terms

a&b.

Ex: 14:16

Simplest form 7:8

Inverse Ratio:

"In a given ratio interchanging of the antecedent and consequest is known as inverse

ratio"

Ex: i) The inverse ratio of a:b is b:a (also known as Reciprocal ratio)

a = b denotes Ratio of eaqulity.

For the ratio a:b a2:b2 is called "duplicate ratio"

For the ratio is called "sub-duplicate ratio"

For the ratio a:b a3

:b3

is called Triplicate ratio

For the ratio "sub-triplicate ratio3 3a : b a : b

1. NUMBER SYSTEM

Digit: Collection of certain symbols (or) figures is called Digit. The name "digit" comes from

the fact that the 10 digits (ancient Latin digiti meaning fingers) of the hands correspond to the

10 symbols of the common base 10 number system.

Ex: The ten digits of the numerals are.. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Numbers: A number is a mathematical object used to count, label and measure. Numbers are

formed with the digits. The numbers include such as 0, negative numbers, rational numbers,

irrational numbers, and complex numbers.

Ex: 23, 47, 86, 154, 542, 620, 3540, 8692, 5682, etc....

Facevalue: The value of digit itself is called face value.

Ex: In 8,642 The face value of '2' is 2, face value of '6' is 6

Place value: The place value of a given digit in a given number begins from the extreme

right.

Ex: The number 987654321 is represented as shown below.

10 Crore Crore 10-L Lakh 10-Th Thousands Hundreds Ten's Units place

108 107 106 105 104 103 102 101 100

9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Ex: Place value of 5 is 510 4 = 50000

Place value of 2 is 2104 = 20000

* 10 lakh = 1 million

* 10 million = 1 crore

* 100 million = 10 crore

* 100 crore = 1 billion

Test for checking primes greater than "100" natural numbers

Let, x = given number,

"k" be an integer very near to x such that k > xIf 'x' is not divisible by any of the numbers less than k, then 'x' is prime otherwise it is not

a prime.

Ex: Test 191 is prime (or) not..

Ans: let, x = 191

The primes less than 14 are.. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13

191 is not divisible by any of the above. So 191 is a prime number.

Ex: Test 104 is Prime or not..

Ans: Let x = 104

Primes less than 11 are..2, 3, 5, 7. '104' is divisible by '2'. So 104 is not a prime number.

* The largest prime number known so far is (222811) which is a number of about 700 digits.

Highest Common Factor - HCF

HCF: The HCF of two (or) more numbers is the greatest number that can divide each one of

them exactly.

Method of finding HCF:

There are two methods to find HCF

1. By factorisation

2. By division

1. By factorisation: In this type express the given numbers in to the prime factors.

"The product of least powers of common prime factors gives HCF"

Ex: i. Find the HCF of 108, 288 and 360.

Finding Unit's Digit

Unit's Digit:

A number is made up from digits in the numeral system is called Unit's Digit. We often use

the decimal system in which we use 10 digits, In writing the any number, many digits are used,

even repitation of digits. when we write any number using the digits, the last digit ( from right

side ) in that number is called unit digit.

For example in the number 48750, here " 0 " is called unit digit.

To find the number in the unit place of Nn, where

N & n = positive numbers

"N" is called base

'n' is called index of power

* Base number "N" can has any of the following digit in the unit's place

[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Case-I:

When 0, 1, 5, 6 are the digits in the unit's place of the base number N, then the number in the

unit's place of Nn will also be 0, 1, 5 & 6 respectively, whatever be the value of "n"

Ex: 1. Number in the unit's place of (370)93 is " 0 "

2. Number in the unit's place (391)775 is " 1 "

3. Number in the unit's place of (75)73 is " 5 "

4. Number in the unit's place (676)99 is " 6 "


45/54

Case-II

When 4 (or) 9 are in the unit's place of N, then

(4)1 = 4 (4)2 = 16

(4)3 = 64 (4)4 = 256

(4)5 = 1024 (4)6 = 4096

From the above figures we observe that..

4n when " n " is odd number [i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7 etc.], it contains " 4 " in the unit's place

4n when " n " even number [i.e. 2, 4, 6, 8 etc.], it contains " 6 " in the unit's place

In the same way..

9n n = odd number " 9 " in the unit's place

9n n = even number " 1 " in the unit's place

Example:

1) (74)99 n = 99 (odd) 4 in the unit's place

2) (84)78 n = 78 (even) 6 in the unit's place

3) (79)33 9 in the unit's place

Case-III

When ' 3 ' is the digit in the unit's place of ' N '

(3)1 = 3 (3)2 = 9

(3)3 = 27 (3)4 = 81

for any value of 3 is always odd

DIVISION SUMS

In a division sum we have four quantities namely -

i) Dividend (p)

ii) Divisor (d)iii) Quotient (q)

iv) Remainder (r)

Divisor) Dividend (Quotient

Remainder

Dividend = (Divisor Quotient) + Remainder

Problems:

1. Find a number when divided by a divisor which is five times the quotient, gives a

quotient which is four times the remainder the remainder being 10.

a) 8,000 b) 8,010 c) 8,500 d) 8,110

Ans: Remainder (r) = 10

Quotient (Q) = 4r = 4 10 = 40 = 40

Divisor (d) = 5 40 = 200

Dividend = (200 40) + 10 = 8,010

2. In a division sums the quotient is 120 the divisor 456 and the remainder 333. Find the

dividend.

a) 5,553 b) 50,553 c) 56,053 d) 55,053

Ans: Quotient (Q) = 120,

Divisor (d) = 456

Remainder (r) = 333Dividend (P) = (D Q) + r

= (456 120) + 333 = 55,053

P = (d q) + r

3. In a division sum the divisor is ten times the quotient and five times the remainder.

what is the dividend if the remainder is 46 ?

a) 5,326 b) 5,306 c) 5,336 d) 5,366

Ans: Remainder (r) = 46

Divisor (d) = 5 r = 5 46 = 230

Divisor (d) = 10 q

10q = 230 q = 23

Dividend - (D Q) + r = (230 23 + 46)

= 5,336

4. The quotient arising from a division of a number by 62 is 463 and the remainder is 60.

what is the number ?

a) 28,666 b) 28,766 c) 28,576 D) 28,676

Ans: Divisor (d) = 62, quotient (Q) = 463

Remainder (r) = 60, find dividend

Dividend = (divisor quotient) + remainder

= (63 463) + 60

= 28,766

Divisors:

Divisor: Each one of the natural numbers that divides a given number exactly is called

a divisor (or)

Factor of the given number is divisor

Ex: Each of the numbers 1, 3 and 5 divides 15 exactly

So, 1, 3 & 5 are divisors of "15"

* Every number has at least two different divisors

* Those numbers which contain only two different divisors are called Prime numbers

* The numbers containing more than two different divisors are called "Composite

numbers"
