Fraction: Any number that can be represented in the form of p/q, where p & q are integers & q is not equal to zero is called
a rational number.
Irrational Number ® Any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers, i.e as a fraction.
Example: 5, 8

(vii) If P is prime number & a is an integer then (aP – a) is always divisible by P.
Example: (511 – 5) is divisible by 11.
(viii) If n is an odd number then (22n + 1) is always divisible by 5.
(ix) If n is an even number, then (22n – 1) is always divisible by 5.
(x) The product of three consecutive natural numbers is always divisible by 6.

Unit digit : 34 = 81 = 1 i.e. 1 is unit digit
3215 × 5163 × 7298
product of unit digits = 5 × 3 × 8 = 120, i.e. unit digit is zero.
The unit digit of the numbers in following forms is:

5n = 5 4 odd = 4 9odd = 9
6n = 6 4 even = 6 9 even = 1
0n =0
1n =1

Example :
(i) 234567 + 566133 (ii) 24933 + 25034 + 25135
Unit digit = 4 + 6 = 10 = 0 unit digit = 9 + 0 + 1 = 10 = 0
Remaining digit : (2, 3, 7, 8)
• 212 79 Þ 2 79 4 = 2 3 = 8

• 378 41925 Þ 825 4 = 81 = 8

• 4732188 Þ 388 4 = 34 = 81 = 1
• In case remainder is zero, then power would be 4
Example : 214 2164 Þ 4 64 4 = 4 4 = 256 = 6
Testing of prime numbers
• Test whether 191 is prime or not
Clearly 14 > 191
Prime numbers up to 14 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
No one of these divides 191 exactly
\ 191 is a prime number.
• Test wether 221 is prime or not
Clearly 15 is > 221
Prime numbers up to 15 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
Clearly, 13 divides 221 exactly
So, 221 is not prime.
(i) Sum of n natural numbers (ii) Sum of squares of n natural numbers

Remainder Theorem:
1. When a1, a2, a3 ..... an are divided by 'd' individually the respective remainders are R1, R2, R3.... Rn and when (a1+ a2+ a3.......an)
is divided by 'd' the remainder can be obtained by dividing (R1 + R2 + R3 ....Rn) by 'd'
Example : Find remainder when 38 + 71 + 85 is divided by 16

2. When a1, a2, a3... an are divided by a divisor d the respective remainders obtained are R1, R2, R3 .....Rn, and the remainder
when (a1× a2×a3 ....× an) is divided by 'd' can be obtained by dividing (R1×R2×R3....Rn) by d.
Example : Find Remainder when 77 is divided by 4.

77 7 ´ 7 ´ 7 ´ 7 ´ 7 ´ 7 ´ 7 3 ´ 3 ´ 3 ´ 3 ´ 3 ´ 3 ´ 3

Recurring Decimal : A decimal number in which a digit or a set of digits repeats regularly, over a constant period, is called a
recurring decimal.
Example : 2.3333..... , 7.5555.... , 1.3333.... they are represented as 2.3, 7.5, 1.3

decimal e.g 7.4444.... , 2.1111.... , 3.4545...
(ii) Mixed Recurring decimal : A decimal number in which some of the digits do not recur is called a mixed recurring
decimal e.g. 0.1777, .087373...
