 Number System 
 Basics of Number System 
 (1).  Face  Value  :  It  is  nothing  but  the 
 number  itself  about  which  it  has  been 
 asked. 
 Eg:  In  the  number  23576,  face  value  of  5 
 is 5 and face value of 7 is 7. 
 (2).  Place  Value  :  The  place  value  of  a 
 number  depends  on  its  position  in  the 
 number.  Each  position  has  a  value  10 
 n 
 , 
 the places to its right. 
 Eg:  In  the  number  23576,  place  value  of  5 
 is 500 and place value of 3 is 3000. 
 Types of Numbers 
 (1). Natural Numbers (N) : 
 All  positive  counting  numbers.  (0  is  not 
 included in it.) 
 Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4 … etc. 
 (2).  Whole  Numbers  (W):  All  non- 
 negative numbers are all whole numbers. 
 Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4… etc. 
 (3).  Integer  Numbers  (I):  All  positive 
 numbers  and  negative  numbers 
 including  zero.  Positive  numbers  are 
 called  positive  integers  and  negative 
 numbers are called negative integers. 
 I = ….. , -4, - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 …... 
 (4).  Even  Numbers  :  2,  4,  6,  8,  10….. 
 [Divisible by 2 completely] 
 (5).  Odd  Numbers  :  1,  3,  5,  7,  9,  11…..  [Not 
 divisible by 2 completely] 
 (6).  Rational  Numbers  :  Numbers  whose 
 exact  value  can  be  determined.  Also  a 
 number  which  can  be  written  in  the  form 
 ,  where  p  and  q  are  integers  and  q  ?  0
 ?? 
 ?? 
 is called a rational  number. For example, 
 Examples :  = 0.75,  = 0.8  ,  ,

 (7).  Irrational  Numbers  :  Numbers  whose 
 exact value cannot be determined. 
 Example :  = 3.142857142857 … p
 (8).  Prime  number  :  A  number  which  is 
 divisible  by  1  and  itself.  2  is  only  an  even 
 prime number. 
 Example : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. 
 Note:- 
 Total prime no. between 1 - 50  15 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 100  25 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 500  95 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 1000  168 ?
 (9).  Composite  number  :  If  we  remove  all 
 prime  numbers  from  natural  numbers 
 then whatever is left is called Composite 
 numbers. 
 Example : 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 etc. 
 Note :-  1 is neither prime nor composite. 
 (10).  Co  -  prime  number  :  Two  numbers 
 are  called  Co-prime  numbers  if  their  HCF 
 is 1. 
 Example  : (2 and 3), (6 and 11). 
 Note  :  Two  prime  numbers  are  always 
 co-prime  numbers  to  each  other.  Any  two 
 consecutive  integers  are  always  co-prime 
 number to each other. 
 Factors 
 The  factors  of  a  number  are  the  numbers 
 that  divide  it  completely  without  leaving 
 any remainder. 
 Example  :  24  can  be  completely  divided 
 by  1,  2,  3,  4,  6,  8,  12  and  24,  so  these 
 numbers are factors of 24. 
 Prime  factorisation  of  a  number  :  When 
 a  number  is  written  in  the  form  of 
 multiplication  of  its  prime  factors,  it's 
 called prime factorisation.

 Recurring Decimal 
 Recurring  decimals  are  referred  to  as 
 numbers  that  are  uniformly  repeated 
 after  the  decimal.  Some  rational 
 numbers  produce  recurring  decimals 
 after  converting  them  into  decimal 
 numbers,  but  all  irrational  numbers 
 produce  recurring  decimals  after 
 converting them into decimal form.

 Divisibility Test 
 By  2:-  When  last  digit  is  0  or  an  even 
 number     eg: 520, 588 
 By 3:-  Sum of digits is divisible by 3 
 eg: 1971, 1974 
 By  4:-  When  last  two  digits  are  divisible 
 by 4 or, they are zeros eg: 1528, 1700 
 By 5 :-  When last digit is 0 or 5 
 eg: 1725, 1790 
 By  6  :-  When  the  number  is  divisible  by  2 
 and 3 both. eg: 36, 72 
 By  7  :  -  Subtract  twice  the  last  digit  from 
 the  number  formed  by  the  remaining 
 digits. Like  651 divisible by 7 
 65  -  (1  ×  2)  =  63.  Since  63  is  divisible  by 
 7, so is 651. 
 By  8  :-  When  the  last  three  digits  are 
 divisible by 8.  eg: 2256 
 By  9  :-  When  sum  of  digit  is  divisible  by  9 
 eg: 9216 
 By  10  :-  When  the  last  digit  is  0.  eg: 
 452600 
 By  11:-  When  the  difference  between  the 
 sum  of  odd  and  even  place  digits  is 
 equal to 0 or multiple of 11 . 
 eg: 217382 
 Sum of odd place digits = 2 + 7 + 8 = 17 
 Sum of even place digits = 1 + 3 + 2 = 6 
 17 – 6 = 11, hence 217382 is divisible by 
 11. 
 By  13  :  -  If  adding  four  times  the  last 
 digit  to  the  number  formed  by  the 
 remaining  digits  is  divisible  by  13,  then 
 the  number  is  divisible  by  13.  Like  1326 
 is divisible by 13 
 132  +  (6  4)  =  156.  Repeat  the  same  × 
 process for 156 . 
 15 + (6  4) = 39.so 39 is divisible by 13  × 
 BY  17  :-  The  divisibility  rule  of  17  states, 
 "If  ?ve  times  the  last  digit  is  subtracted 
 from  a  number  made  up  of  the  remaining 
 digits  and  the  remainder  is  either  0  or  a 
 multiple  of  17,  then  the  number  is 
 divisible by 17". 
 Like 221: 22 - 1 × 5 = 17. 
 Prime Number Test 
 For  ?nding  whether  any  number  is  a 
 prime  number  or  not,  we  need  to  ?nd  the 
 nearest  square  root  of  given  number, 
 then  we  need  to  ?nd  out  whether  the 
 given  number  is  divisible  by  any  prime 
 number  less  than  the  obtained  number  or 
 not.  If  it  is  divisible  then  it  is  not  a  prime 
 number and if not divisible then it is a 
 prime number. 
 Example  :  Find  whether  177  is  a  prime 
 number or not. 
 Soln  :  Nearest  square  root  of  177  is  13. 
 Now  we  need  to  check  whether  177  is 
 divisible  by  prime  numbers  less  than  13. 
 On  checking  we  ?nd  that  177  is  divisible 
 by 3. Hence, 177 is not a prime number.

 Remainder Theorem 
 Que.  What  will  be  the  remainder  when 
 is divided by 12?  17     ×     23 
 Ans :-  We can express this as: 
 =  17     ×     23  12 + 5 ( ) × 12 + 11 ( )
= 12     ×     12 + 12     ×     11 + 5     ×     12 + 5  ×  11 
 In  the  above  expression  we  will  ?nd  that 
 remainder  will  depend  on  the  last  term 
 i.e.  5     ×     11 
 Now,  .(  )  7.  ??????

 Number System 
 Basics of Number System 
 (1).  Face  Value  :  It  is  nothing  but  the 
 number  itself  about  which  it  has  been 
 asked. 
 Eg:  In  the  number  23576,  face  value  of  5 
 is 5 and face value of 7 is 7. 
 (2).  Place  Value  :  The  place  value  of  a 
 number  depends  on  its  position  in  the 
 number.  Each  position  has  a  value  10 
 n 
 , 
 the places to its right. 
 Eg:  In  the  number  23576,  place  value  of  5 
 is 500 and place value of 3 is 3000. 
 Types of Numbers 
 (1). Natural Numbers (N) : 
 All  positive  counting  numbers.  (0  is  not 
 included in it.) 
 Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4 … etc. 
 (2).  Whole  Numbers  (W):  All  non- 
 negative numbers are all whole numbers. 
 Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4… etc. 
 (3).  Integer  Numbers  (I):  All  positive 
 numbers  and  negative  numbers 
 including  zero.  Positive  numbers  are 
 called  positive  integers  and  negative 
 numbers are called negative integers. 
 I = ….. , -4, - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 …... 
 (4).  Even  Numbers  :  2,  4,  6,  8,  10….. 
 [Divisible by 2 completely] 
 (5).  Odd  Numbers  :  1,  3,  5,  7,  9,  11…..  [Not 
 divisible by 2 completely] 
 (6).  Rational  Numbers  :  Numbers  whose 
 exact  value  can  be  determined.  Also  a 
 number  which  can  be  written  in  the  form 
 ,  where  p  and  q  are  integers  and  q  ?  0
 ?? 
 ?? 
 is called a rational  number. For example, 
 Examples :  = 0.75,  = 0.8  ,  , 
 3 
 4 
 4 
 5 
 9 
- 5 
 22 
 7
 (7).  Irrational  Numbers  :  Numbers  whose 
 exact value cannot be determined. 
 Example :  = 3.142857142857 … p
 (8).  Prime  number  :  A  number  which  is 
 divisible  by  1  and  itself.  2  is  only  an  even 
 prime number. 
 Example : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. 
 Note:- 
 Total prime no. between 1 - 50  15 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 100  25 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 500  95 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 1000  168 ?
 (9).  Composite  number  :  If  we  remove  all 
 prime  numbers  from  natural  numbers 
 then whatever is left is called Composite 
 numbers. 
 Example : 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 etc. 
 Note :-  1 is neither prime nor composite. 
 (10).  Co  -  prime  number  :  Two  numbers 
 are  called  Co-prime  numbers  if  their  HCF 
 is 1. 
 Example  : (2 and 3), (6 and 11). 
 Note  :  Two  prime  numbers  are  always 
 co-prime  numbers  to  each  other.  Any  two 
 consecutive  integers  are  always  co-prime 
 number to each other. 
 Factors 
 The  factors  of  a  number  are  the  numbers 
 that  divide  it  completely  without  leaving 
 any remainder. 
 Example  :  24  can  be  completely  divided 
 by  1,  2,  3,  4,  6,  8,  12  and  24,  so  these 
 numbers are factors of 24. 
 Prime  factorisation  of  a  number  :  When 
 a  number  is  written  in  the  form  of 
 multiplication  of  its  prime  factors,  it's 
 called prime factorisation.

 Recurring Decimal 
 Recurring  decimals  are  referred  to  as 
 numbers  that  are  uniformly  repeated 
 after  the  decimal.  Some  rational 
 numbers  produce  recurring  decimals 
 after  converting  them  into  decimal 
 numbers,  but  all  irrational  numbers 
 produce  recurring  decimals  after 
 converting them into decimal form.

 Divisibility Test 
 By  2:-  When  last  digit  is  0  or  an  even 
 number     eg: 520, 588 
 By 3:-  Sum of digits is divisible by 3 
 eg: 1971, 1974 
 By  4:-  When  last  two  digits  are  divisible 
 by 4 or, they are zeros eg: 1528, 1700 
 By 5 :-  When last digit is 0 or 5 
 eg: 1725, 1790 
 By  6  :-  When  the  number  is  divisible  by  2 
 and 3 both. eg: 36, 72 
 By  7  :  -  Subtract  twice  the  last  digit  from 
 the  number  formed  by  the  remaining 
 digits. Like  651 divisible by 7 
 65  -  (1  ×  2)  =  63.  Since  63  is  divisible  by 
 7, so is 651. 
 By  8  :-  When  the  last  three  digits  are 
 divisible by 8.  eg: 2256 
 By  9  :-  When  sum  of  digit  is  divisible  by  9 
 eg: 9216 
 By  10  :-  When  the  last  digit  is  0.  eg: 
 452600 
 By  11:-  When  the  difference  between  the 
 sum  of  odd  and  even  place  digits  is 
 equal to 0 or multiple of 11 . 
 eg: 217382 
 Sum of odd place digits = 2 + 7 + 8 = 17 
 Sum of even place digits = 1 + 3 + 2 = 6 
 17 – 6 = 11, hence 217382 is divisible by 
 11. 
 By  13  :  -  If  adding  four  times  the  last 
 digit  to  the  number  formed  by  the 
 remaining  digits  is  divisible  by  13,  then 
 the  number  is  divisible  by  13.  Like  1326 
 is divisible by 13 
 132  +  (6  4)  =  156.  Repeat  the  same  × 
 process for 156 . 
 15 + (6  4) = 39.so 39 is divisible by 13  × 
 BY  17  :-  The  divisibility  rule  of  17  states, 
 "If  ?ve  times  the  last  digit  is  subtracted 
 from  a  number  made  up  of  the  remaining 
 digits  and  the  remainder  is  either  0  or  a 
 multiple  of  17,  then  the  number  is 
 divisible by 17". 
 Like 221: 22 - 1 × 5 = 17. 
 Prime Number Test 
 For  ?nding  whether  any  number  is  a 
 prime  number  or  not,  we  need  to  ?nd  the 
 nearest  square  root  of  given  number, 
 then  we  need  to  ?nd  out  whether  the 
 given  number  is  divisible  by  any  prime 
 number  less  than  the  obtained  number  or 
 not.  If  it  is  divisible  then  it  is  not  a  prime 
 number and if not divisible then it is a 
 prime number. 
 Example  :  Find  whether  177  is  a  prime 
 number or not. 
 Soln  :  Nearest  square  root  of  177  is  13. 
 Now  we  need  to  check  whether  177  is 
 divisible  by  prime  numbers  less  than  13. 
 On  checking  we  ?nd  that  177  is  divisible 
 by 3. Hence, 177 is not a prime number.

 Application of Remainder 
 Theorem 
 Que  .  Find  the  last  two  digits  of  the 
 expression 
 ?  22     ×     31     ×     44     ×     27     ×     37     ×     43 
 Sol:-  If  we  divide  the  above  expression  by 
 100,  we  will  get  the  last  two  digits  as 
 remainder.

 dividing by 4 to make it simple

= 14 
 Since  we  had  divided  by  4  initially  now  to 
 get  the  correct  answer,  we  need  to 
 multiply the remainder by 4. 
 So  remainder  will  be  which  14     ×     4 = 56 ,
 will  also  be  the  last  two  digits  of  the 
 expression.

 Number System 
 Basics of Number System 
 (1).  Face  Value  :  It  is  nothing  but  the 
 number  itself  about  which  it  has  been 
 asked. 
 Eg:  In  the  number  23576,  face  value  of  5 
 is 5 and face value of 7 is 7. 
 (2).  Place  Value  :  The  place  value  of  a 
 number  depends  on  its  position  in  the 
 number.  Each  position  has  a  value  10 
 n 
 , 
 the places to its right. 
 Eg:  In  the  number  23576,  place  value  of  5 
 is 500 and place value of 3 is 3000. 
 Types of Numbers 
 (1). Natural Numbers (N) : 
 All  positive  counting  numbers.  (0  is  not 
 included in it.) 
 Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4 … etc. 
 (2).  Whole  Numbers  (W):  All  non- 
 negative numbers are all whole numbers. 
 Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4… etc. 
 (3).  Integer  Numbers  (I):  All  positive 
 numbers  and  negative  numbers 
 including  zero.  Positive  numbers  are 
 called  positive  integers  and  negative 
 numbers are called negative integers. 
 I = ….. , -4, - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 …... 
 (4).  Even  Numbers  :  2,  4,  6,  8,  10….. 
 [Divisible by 2 completely] 
 (5).  Odd  Numbers  :  1,  3,  5,  7,  9,  11…..  [Not 
 divisible by 2 completely] 
 (6).  Rational  Numbers  :  Numbers  whose 
 exact  value  can  be  determined.  Also  a 
 number  which  can  be  written  in  the  form 
 ,  where  p  and  q  are  integers  and  q  ?  0
 ?? 
 ?? 
 is called a rational  number. For example, 
 Examples :  = 0.75,  = 0.8  ,  , 
 3 
 4 
 4 
 5 
 9 
- 5 
 22 
 7
 (7).  Irrational  Numbers  :  Numbers  whose 
 exact value cannot be determined. 
 Example :  = 3.142857142857 … p
 (8).  Prime  number  :  A  number  which  is 
 divisible  by  1  and  itself.  2  is  only  an  even 
 prime number. 
 Example : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. 
 Note:- 
 Total prime no. between 1 - 50  15 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 100  25 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 500  95 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 1000  168 ?
 (9).  Composite  number  :  If  we  remove  all 
 prime  numbers  from  natural  numbers 
 then whatever is left is called Composite 
 numbers. 
 Example : 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 etc. 
 Note :-  1 is neither prime nor composite. 
 (10).  Co  -  prime  number  :  Two  numbers 
 are  called  Co-prime  numbers  if  their  HCF 
 is 1. 
 Example  : (2 and 3), (6 and 11). 
 Note  :  Two  prime  numbers  are  always 
 co-prime  numbers  to  each  other.  Any  two 
 consecutive  integers  are  always  co-prime 
 number to each other. 
 Factors 
 The  factors  of  a  number  are  the  numbers 
 that  divide  it  completely  without  leaving 
 any remainder. 
 Example  :  24  can  be  completely  divided 
 by  1,  2,  3,  4,  6,  8,  12  and  24,  so  these 
 numbers are factors of 24. 
 Prime  factorisation  of  a  number  :  When 
 a  number  is  written  in  the  form  of 
 multiplication  of  its  prime  factors,  it's 
 called prime factorisation.

 Recurring Decimal 
 Recurring  decimals  are  referred  to  as 
 numbers  that  are  uniformly  repeated 
 after  the  decimal.  Some  rational 
 numbers  produce  recurring  decimals 
 after  converting  them  into  decimal 
 numbers,  but  all  irrational  numbers 
 produce  recurring  decimals  after 
 converting them into decimal form.

 Divisibility Test 
 By  2:-  When  last  digit  is  0  or  an  even 
 number     eg: 520, 588 
 By 3:-  Sum of digits is divisible by 3 
 eg: 1971, 1974 
 By  4:-  When  last  two  digits  are  divisible 
 by 4 or, they are zeros eg: 1528, 1700 
 By 5 :-  When last digit is 0 or 5 
 eg: 1725, 1790 
 By  6  :-  When  the  number  is  divisible  by  2 
 and 3 both. eg: 36, 72 
 By  7  :  -  Subtract  twice  the  last  digit  from 
 the  number  formed  by  the  remaining 
 digits. Like  651 divisible by 7 
 65  -  (1  ×  2)  =  63.  Since  63  is  divisible  by 
 7, so is 651. 
 By  8  :-  When  the  last  three  digits  are 
 divisible by 8.  eg: 2256 
 By  9  :-  When  sum  of  digit  is  divisible  by  9 
 eg: 9216 
 By  10  :-  When  the  last  digit  is  0.  eg: 
 452600 
 By  11:-  When  the  difference  between  the 
 sum  of  odd  and  even  place  digits  is 
 equal to 0 or multiple of 11 . 
 eg: 217382 
 Sum of odd place digits = 2 + 7 + 8 = 17 
 Sum of even place digits = 1 + 3 + 2 = 6 
 17 – 6 = 11, hence 217382 is divisible by 
 11. 
 By  13  :  -  If  adding  four  times  the  last 
 digit  to  the  number  formed  by  the 
 remaining  digits  is  divisible  by  13,  then 
 the  number  is  divisible  by  13.  Like  1326 
 is divisible by 13 
 132  +  (6  4)  =  156.  Repeat  the  same  × 
 process for 156 . 
 15 + (6  4) = 39.so 39 is divisible by 13  × 
 BY  17  :-  The  divisibility  rule  of  17  states, 
 "If  ?ve  times  the  last  digit  is  subtracted 
 from  a  number  made  up  of  the  remaining 
 digits  and  the  remainder  is  either  0  or  a 
 multiple  of  17,  then  the  number  is 
 divisible by 17". 
 Like 221: 22 - 1 × 5 = 17. 
 Prime Number Test 
 For  ?nding  whether  any  number  is  a 
 prime  number  or  not,  we  need  to  ?nd  the 
 nearest  square  root  of  given  number, 
 then  we  need  to  ?nd  out  whether  the 
 given  number  is  divisible  by  any  prime 
 number  less  than  the  obtained  number  or 
 not.  If  it  is  divisible  then  it  is  not  a  prime 
 number and if not divisible then it is a 
 prime number. 
 Example  :  Find  whether  177  is  a  prime 
 number or not. 
 Soln  :  Nearest  square  root  of  177  is  13. 
 Now  we  need  to  check  whether  177  is 
 divisible  by  prime  numbers  less  than  13. 
 On  checking  we  ?nd  that  177  is  divisible 
 by 3. Hence, 177 is not a prime number.

 Number of Zeros in an expression 
 We  shall  understand  this  concept  with 
 the help of an example. 
 Let’s  ?nd  the  number  of  zeros  in  the 
 following  expression:  24  32  17  23 × × ×
 19 = (2 
 3 
 × 3 
 1 
 )  2 
 5 
 × 17 × 23 × 19 × × 
 Notice  that  a  zero  is  made  only  when 
 there  is  a  combination  of  2  and  5.  Since 
 there  is  no  ‘5’  here  there  will  be  no  zero  in 
 the above expression. 
 Example:- 
 8     ×     15     ×     23     ×     17     ×     25     ×     22 =

    ×     11 
 In  this  expression  there  are  4  twos  and  3 
 ?ves.  From  this  3  pairs  of  can  be  5×2 
 formed.  Therefore,  there  will  be  3  zeros 
 in the ?nal product.

 Zeros  are  possible  with  a  combination  of 
 2  Here  the  number  of  5’s  are  less  so     ×     5 
 the  number  of  zeros  will  be  limited  to  the 
 number of 5’s. 
 In  this  expression  number  of  ?ves  are:

 i.e. 4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 18 + 40 = 98 
 The number of Zeros in n! 
 To  ?nd  the  number  of  zeros  in  n!,  we 
 divide  “n”  by  5  until  we  get  a  number  less 
 than  5,  and  then  we  add  all  the  quotients 
 so obtained. 
 Que.  Find the number of zeros in 36! . 
 The number of zeros = 7 + 1 = 8. 
 Remainder Theorem 
 Que.  What  will  be  the  remainder  when 
 is divided by 12?  17     ×     23 
 Ans :-  We can express this as: 
 =  17     ×     23  12 + 5 ( ) × 12 + 11 ( )
= 12     ×     12 + 12     ×     11 + 5     ×     12 + 5  ×  11 
 In  the  above  expression  we  will  ?nd  that 
 remainder  will  depend  on  the  last  term 
 i.e.  5     ×     11 
 Now,  .(  )  7.  ?????? 
 5     ×     11 
 12 
=
 So, 
 12     ×     12    +    12        ×     11    +    5     ×     12    +    5     ×     11 
 12 
 and  remainder  is  same  in  both 
 5     ×     11 
 12 
 cases which is 7. 
 Example:-  Remainder when 
 is divided by 12?  1421     ×     1423     ×     1425 
 (  )  ?????? 
 1421     ×     1423     ×     1425

 5     ×     7     ×     9

 (  ) = ??????

 Negative Remainder 
 Taking  a  negative  remainder  will  make 
 our calculation easier. 
 Examples 
 (i)  rem  (  )  =  rem  (  ) 
 7     ×     8 
 9 
- 2        ×    - 1

 =  2  1 = 2    - × -
 (ii)  rem  (  ) =  rem  (  ) 
 55     ×     56 
 57 
- 2        × - 1 
 57 
 = - 2  1  × - = 2 
 (iii)  rem  (  ) =  rem  (  ) 
 7     ×     10

 Theorem 
 Que  .  Find  the  last  two  digits  of  the 
 expression 
 ?  22     ×     31     ×     44     ×     27     ×     37     ×     43 
 Sol:-  If  we  divide  the  above  expression  by 
 100,  we  will  get  the  last  two  digits  as 
 remainder. 
 (  )  ,  ?     ?????? 
 22     ×     31     ×     44     ×     27     ×     37     ×     43 
 100 
 dividing by 4 to make it simple 
 (  ) = ?????? 
 22     ×     31     ×     11     ×     27     ×     37     ×     43

 4     ×     16 
 25 
 (  )    = ?????? 
 14 
 25 
= 14 
 Since  we  had  divided  by  4  initially  now  to 
 get  the  correct  answer,  we  need  to 
 multiply the remainder by 4. 
 So  remainder  will  be  which  14     ×     4 = 56 ,
 will  also  be  the  last  two  digits  of  the 
 expression.

 Number System 
 Basics of Number System 
 (1).  Face  Value  :  It  is  nothing  but  the 
 number  itself  about  which  it  has  been 
 asked. 
 Eg:  In  the  number  23576,  face  value  of  5 
 is 5 and face value of 7 is 7. 
 (2).  Place  Value  :  The  place  value  of  a 
 number  depends  on  its  position  in  the 
 number.  Each  position  has  a  value  10 
 n 
 , 
 the places to its right. 
 Eg:  In  the  number  23576,  place  value  of  5 
 is 500 and place value of 3 is 3000. 
 Types of Numbers 
 (1). Natural Numbers (N) : 
 All  positive  counting  numbers.  (0  is  not 
 included in it.) 
 Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4 … etc. 
 (2).  Whole  Numbers  (W):  All  non- 
 negative numbers are all whole numbers. 
 Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4… etc. 
 (3).  Integer  Numbers  (I):  All  positive 
 numbers  and  negative  numbers 
 including  zero.  Positive  numbers  are 
 called  positive  integers  and  negative 
 numbers are called negative integers. 
 I = ….. , -4, - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 …... 
 (4).  Even  Numbers  :  2,  4,  6,  8,  10….. 
 [Divisible by 2 completely] 
 (5).  Odd  Numbers  :  1,  3,  5,  7,  9,  11…..  [Not 
 divisible by 2 completely] 
 (6).  Rational  Numbers  :  Numbers  whose 
 exact  value  can  be  determined.  Also  a 
 number  which  can  be  written  in  the  form 
 ,  where  p  and  q  are  integers  and  q  ?  0
 ?? 
 ?? 
 is called a rational  number. For example, 
 Examples :  = 0.75,  = 0.8  ,  , 
 3 
 4 
 4 
 5 
 9 
- 5 
 22 
 7
 (7).  Irrational  Numbers  :  Numbers  whose 
 exact value cannot be determined. 
 Example :  = 3.142857142857 … p
 (8).  Prime  number  :  A  number  which  is 
 divisible  by  1  and  itself.  2  is  only  an  even 
 prime number. 
 Example : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc. 
 Note:- 
 Total prime no. between 1 - 50  15 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 100  25 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 500  95 ?
 Total prime no. between 1 - 1000  168 ?
 (9).  Composite  number  :  If  we  remove  all 
 prime  numbers  from  natural  numbers 
 then whatever is left is called Composite 
 numbers. 
 Example : 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 etc. 
 Note :-  1 is neither prime nor composite. 
 (10).  Co  -  prime  number  :  Two  numbers 
 are  called  Co-prime  numbers  if  their  HCF 
 is 1. 
 Example  : (2 and 3), (6 and 11). 
 Note  :  Two  prime  numbers  are  always 
 co-prime  numbers  to  each  other.  Any  two 
 consecutive  integers  are  always  co-prime 
 number to each other. 
 Factors 
 The  factors  of  a  number  are  the  numbers 
 that  divide  it  completely  without  leaving 
 any remainder. 
 Example  :  24  can  be  completely  divided 
 by  1,  2,  3,  4,  6,  8,  12  and  24,  so  these 
 numbers are factors of 24. 
 Prime  factorisation  of  a  number  :  When 
 a  number  is  written  in  the  form  of 
 multiplication  of  its  prime  factors,  it's 
 called prime factorisation.

 Recurring Decimal 
 Recurring  decimals  are  referred  to  as 
 numbers  that  are  uniformly  repeated 
 after  the  decimal.  Some  rational 
 numbers  produce  recurring  decimals 
 after  converting  them  into  decimal 
 numbers,  but  all  irrational  numbers 
 produce  recurring  decimals  after 
 converting them into decimal form.

 Divisibility Test 
 By  2:-  When  last  digit  is  0  or  an  even 
 number     eg: 520, 588 
 By 3:-  Sum of digits is divisible by 3 
 eg: 1971, 1974 
 By  4:-  When  last  two  digits  are  divisible 
 by 4 or, they are zeros eg: 1528, 1700 
 By 5 :-  When last digit is 0 or 5 
 eg: 1725, 1790 
 By  6  :-  When  the  number  is  divisible  by  2 
 and 3 both. eg: 36, 72 
 By  7  :  -  Subtract  twice  the  last  digit  from 
 the  number  formed  by  the  remaining 
 digits. Like  651 divisible by 7 
 65  -  (1  ×  2)  =  63.  Since  63  is  divisible  by 
 7, so is 651. 
 By  8  :-  When  the  last  three  digits  are 
 divisible by 8.  eg: 2256 
 By  9  :-  When  sum  of  digit  is  divisible  by  9 
 eg: 9216 
 By  10  :-  When  the  last  digit  is  0.  eg: 
 452600 
 By  11:-  When  the  difference  between  the 
 sum  of  odd  and  even  place  digits  is 
 equal to 0 or multiple of 11 . 
 eg: 217382 
 Sum of odd place digits = 2 + 7 + 8 = 17 
 Sum of even place digits = 1 + 3 + 2 = 6 
 17 – 6 = 11, hence 217382 is divisible by 
 11. 
 By  13  :  -  If  adding  four  times  the  last 
 digit  to  the  number  formed  by  the 
 remaining  digits  is  divisible  by  13,  then 
 the  number  is  divisible  by  13.  Like  1326 
 is divisible by 13 
 132  +  (6  4)  =  156.  Repeat  the  same  × 
 process for 156 . 
 15 + (6  4) = 39.so 39 is divisible by 13  × 
 BY  17  :-  The  divisibility  rule  of  17  states, 
 "If  ?ve  times  the  last  digit  is  subtracted 
 from  a  number  made  up  of  the  remaining 
 digits  and  the  remainder  is  either  0  or  a 
 multiple  of  17,  then  the  number  is 
 divisible by 17". 
 Like 221: 22 - 1 × 5 = 17. 
 Prime Number Test 
 For  ?nding  whether  any  number  is  a 
 prime  number  or  not,  we  need  to  ?nd  the 
 nearest  square  root  of  given  number, 
 then  we  need  to  ?nd  out  whether  the 
 given  number  is  divisible  by  any  prime 
 number  less  than  the  obtained  number  or 
 not.  If  it  is  divisible  then  it  is  not  a  prime 
 number and if not divisible then it is a 
 prime number. 
 Example  :  Find  whether  177  is  a  prime 
 number or not. 
 Soln  :  Nearest  square  root  of  177  is  13. 
 Now  we  need  to  check  whether  177  is 
 divisible  by  prime  numbers  less  than  13. 
 On  checking  we  ?nd  that  177  is  divisible 
 by 3. Hence, 177 is not a prime number.

= 12     ×     12 + 12     ×     11 + 5     ×     12 + 5  ×  11 
 In  the  above  expression  we  will  ?nd  that 
 remainder  will  depend  on  the  last  term 
 i.e.  5     ×     11

 expression 
 ?  22     ×     31     ×     44     ×     27     ×     37     ×     43 
 Sol:-  If  we  divide  the  above  expression  by 
 100,  we  will  get  the  last  two  digits  as 
 remainder.

= 14 
 Since  we  had  divided  by  4  initially  now  to 
 get  the  correct  answer,  we  need  to 
 multiply the remainder by 4. 
 So  remainder  will  be  which  14     ×     4 = 56 ,
 will  also  be  the  last  two  digits  of  the 
 expression.
