Irrational Numbers

StarStarStarStar

Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a simple fraction. They have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions. Example: The number π\pi is irrational.

StarStarStarStar

Imaginary Numbers

StarStarStarStar

Imaginary numbers are a subset of complex numbers that can be written as a real number multiplied by the imaginary unit ii. Example: 2i2i is an imaginary number, where i=1i = \sqrt{-1}.

StarStarStarStar

Prime Number

StarStarStarStar

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. Example: 7 is a prime number because its only divisors are 1 and 7.

StarStarStarStar

Perfect Square

StarStarStarStar

A perfect square is an integer that is the square of an integer. Example: 49 is a perfect square because 7×7=497 \times 7 = 49.

StarStarStarStar

Integers

StarStarStarStar

Integers are all the whole numbers including negative numbers, zero, and positive numbers. Example: -3, 0, and 4 are all integers.

StarStarStarStar

Least Common Multiple

StarStarStarStar

The least common multiple (LCM) of two integers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both of the integers. Example: The LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.

StarStarStarStar

Rational Numbers

StarStarStarStar

Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers where the denominator is not zero. Example: 12\frac{1}{2} and 43\frac{4}{3} are rational numbers.

StarStarStarStar

Arithmetic Sequence

StarStarStarStar

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each term after the first is obtained by adding a constant difference to the previous term. Example: The sequence 2, 4, 6, 8 is arithmetic with a common difference of 2.

StarStarStarStar

Geometric Sequence

StarStarStarStar

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. Example: The sequence 3, 9, 27, 81 is geometric with a common ratio of 3.

StarStarStarStar

Real Numbers

StarStarStarStar

Real numbers include all the rational and irrational numbers. They correspond to points on the number line. Example: 34\frac{3}{4}, π\pi, and -2 are all real numbers.

StarStarStarStar

Divisibility

StarStarStarStar

A number is divisible by another if it can be divided by the other number without leaving a remainder. Example: 10 is divisible by 2 because 10÷2=510 \div 2 = 5 with no remainder.

StarStarStarStar

Absolute Value

StarStarStarStar

The absolute value of a real number is the non-negative value of that number without regard to its sign. Example: The absolute value of -7 is 7.

StarStarStarStar

Multiple

StarStarStarStar

A multiple of a number is the product of that number and any integer. Example: 20 is a multiple of 5 because 5×4=205 \times 4 = 20.

StarStarStarStar

Natural Numbers

StarStarStarStar

Natural numbers are the set of positive integers beginning from 1. Example: The first five natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

StarStarStarStar

Greatest Common Divisor

StarStarStarStar

The greatest common divisor (GCD) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both of them without leaving a remainder. Example: The GCD of 8 and 12 is 4.

StarStarStarStar

Factor

StarStarStarStar

A factor of a number is an integer which divides the number without leaving a remainder. Example: 3 is a factor of 12 because 12÷3=412 \div 3 = 4 with no remainder.

StarStarStarStar

Euclidean Algorithm

StarStarStarStar

The Euclidean Algorithm is a method for finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two numbers. It is based on the principle that the GCD of two numbers also divides their difference. Example: GCD of 270 and 192 can be found using the Euclidean Algorithm.

StarStarStarStar

Complex Numbers

StarStarStarStar

Complex numbers consist of all numbers that can be expressed in the form a+bia + bi where aa and bb are real numbers and ii is the imaginary unit. Example: 3 + 4i is a complex number.
