Number System – Formulae and Tricks Free Quant e-book

Quantitative Aptitude is one of the very important sections in almost every


exam that a candidate may come across (Bank, Insurance, SSC, RRB, etc.).
Quantitative Ability checks a candidate’s capability on handling the number,
remembering the formula, application of shortcut tricks, etc. But it has been
often heard that people find Quant section the toughest which eventually
affects the candidate’s preparation. To make this fear wash out we are coming
out with an e-book on the topic-wise formulas and shortcut tricks that will help
you all in cracking a question and eventually the section with much higher
efficiency.
We are going to start with Number system today as it is the most basic topic
that has its application in the long run in almost all sections of Quant like
Arithmetic, Calculus, Advanced, Mensuration, etc. Number System forms the
basic tile for the understanding of concepts in mathematics. You will find the
usage of mentioned formulas here to be very prominent when you prepare for
any Banking, Insurance, SSC exam.
I hope this e-book helps you in long run and you grasp the formulas with ease
and understanding.

Number System is divided into 4 parts:


1. Classification
2. Divisibility Test
3. Division and Remainder Rules
4. Sum Rules

In this e-book we will look into some tricks that will make the solving of the questions involving
number system easy.

TRICKS TO REMEMBER FOR NUMBER SYSTEM:

1. Classification
Types Description
Natural Numbers all counting numbers ( 1,2,3,4,5….∞)
Whole Numbers natural number + zero( 0,1,2,3,4,5…∞)
All whole numbers including Negative number + Positive
Integers number(∞……-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5….∞)
All whole number divisible by 2 is Even (0,2,4,6,8,10,12…..∞) and
Even & Odd Numbers which does not divide by 2 are Odd (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19….∞)
It can be positive or negative except 1, if the number is not divisible by
any number except the number
Prime Numbers itself.(2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61….∞)
Composite Numbers Natural numbers which are not prime.
Co-Prime Two natural number a and b are said to be co-prime if their HCF is 1.

2. Divisibility

Numbers IF A Number
Divisible by 2 End with 0,2,4,6,8 are divisible by 2
Divisible by 3 Sum of its digits is divisible by 3
Divisible by 4 Last two digit divisible by 4
Divisible by 5 Ends with 0 or 5
Divisible by 6 Divides by Both 2 & 3
Divisible by 8 Last 3 digit divide by 8
Divisible by 10 End with 0

Divisible by 11 [Sum of its digit in odd places-Sum of its


digits in even places]= 0 or multiple of 11

Divisible by 12 [The number must be divisible by 3 and


4]
Number System – Formulae and Tricks Free Quant e-book

[Multiply last digit with 4 and add it to


Divisible by 13 remaining number in given number,
result must be divisible by 13]
[The number must be divisible by 2 and
Divisible by 14 7. Because 2 and 7 are prime factors of
14.]
[The number should be divisible by 3 and
Divisible by 15 5. Because 3 and 5 are prime factors of
15.]

Divisible by 16 [The number formed by last four digits in


given number must be divisible by 16.]
[Multiply last digit with 5 and subtract it
Divisible by 17 from remaining number in given
number, result must be divisible by 17]

Divisible by 18 [The number should be divisible by 2 and


9]
[Multiply last digit with 2 and add it to
Divisible by 19 remaining number in given number,
result must be divisible by 19]

Divisible by 20 [The number formed by last two digits in


given number must be divisible by 20.]

3. Division & Remainder Rules

A very basic formula for division rules is:

dividend = ( divisor✘quotient ) + remainder

or
divisor= [(dividend)-(remainder] / quotient

This could be mathematically written in another way:

 x = kq + r where (x = dividend, k = divisor, q = quotient, r = remainder).

4. Sum Rules:
• Sum of first n natural numbers= n(n+1)/2
• Sum of square of first n natural numbers= n(n+1)(2n+1)/6
• Sum of cubes of first n natural numbers= (n(n+1)/2)^2
• Sum of first n odd numbers= n^2
• Sum of first n even numbers= n(n+1)

Now we will look into basic mathematical formulas that help in solving the Number System
questions very frequently.

1. (a + b)(a - b) = (a2 - b2)


2. (a + b)2 = (a2 + b2 + 2ab)
3. (a - b)2 = (a2 + b2 - 2ab)
4. (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
5. (a3 + b3) = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)
6. (a3 - b3) = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
7. (a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc) = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ac)
8. (a+b)³=a³+3a²b+3ab²+b³
9. (a-b)³=a³-3a²b+3ab²-b³
