A. THE NUMBER SYSTEM

1. The Real Numbers
A set of real numbers is composed of numbers which are positive, negative or zero. These numbers
can be classified as:
p
1) Rational numbers can be expressed in the form , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0. They
q
are integers, fractions and decimals.
a. Integers – positive, negative, and zero Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6
a.1 Positive numbers
a.1.1 Natural or counting numbers are the numbers that we use in counting. Ex. 1, 2,3, . . .
a.1.2 Whole numbers consist of 0 and the set of counting/natural numbers Ex. 0, 1,2,3, . . .
1 5 23 4
b. Fractions (positive or negative) Examples:
2
, - 8
, 5
, - 5
c. Decimals (positive and negative terminating and repeating decimals)
2 3 3
c.1 terminating decimals Examples: ¿ 0.5 −¿ =−0.6 , ¿ 0.75
4 5 4

1 −13
c.2 repeating decimals Examples: =0.3333 . . . = -0.131313. . .
3 99
2) Irrational numbers are real numbers that are positive and negative nonterminating,
nonrepeating decimals. Examples: √ 2=1.414213562 . . . π=3.141592654 . . .

2. Properties of Real Numbers

For real numbers A, B, and C:
2.1 Commutative Property of Addition: Changing the position of the addends does not affect the
sum. A + B = B + A Example: 14 + 25 = 25 + 14
39 = 39
2.2 Commutative Property of Multiplication: Changing the position of the factors does not affect the
product. AxB=BxA Example: 36 x 4 = 4 x 36
144 = 144
2.3 Associative Property of Addition: Changing the grouping of the addends does not affect the sum.
(A + B) + C = A + (B + C) Example: 5 + (6 + 4) = (5 + 6) + 4
5 + 10 = 11 + 4
15 = 15
2.4 Associative Property of Multiplication: Changing the grouping of the factors does not affect the
product. (A x B) C = A(B x C) Example: 5(6 x 4) = (5 x 6)4
5 x 24 = 30 x 4
120 = 120
2.5 Identity Property of Addition: If 0 is added to any real number, the sum is the number itself.
The additive identity (the identity element of addition) is 0. A+0=A 0+A=A
Examples: 55 + 0 = 55 0 + 19 = 19
2.6 Identity Property of Multiplication: If 1 is multiplied to any real number, the product is the
number itself. The multiplicative identity (the identity element of multiplication) is 1.
Bx1 =B 1xB=B Examples: 93 x 1 = 93 1 x 45 = 45
2.7 Inverse Property of Addition: Any real number added to its additive inverse is equal to 0.
C + (-C) = 0 (- B) + B = 0 Example: 12 + (-12) = 0 (-36) + 36 = 0
* -C is the additive inverse of C C is the negative inverse of -C
* When additive inverses are added, the sum is the additive identity.
2.8 Inverse Property of Multiplication: If a real number is multiplied by reciprocal, the product is 1.
1 A 1 12
Ax = =1 Example: 12 x = = 1
A A 12 12

1
* A and A are called multiplicative inverses or reciprocal of each other.

* The product of multiplicative inverses is the multiplicative identity.

 2

2.9 Distributive Property of Multiplication Over Addition: If a real number is multiplied by the sum of
real numbers inside the parenthesis, distribute the multiplication over all the real numbers inside.
A(B + C) = AB + AC Example: 6(3 + 4) = (6 x 3) + (6 x 4) = 18 + 24 = 42
2.10 Multiplication Property of Zero: If a real number is multiplied by 0, the product is 0.
A ∙ 0=0 0 ∙ B=0 Examples: 52 x 0 = 0 0 x 18 = 0
2.11 Division Property of Zero: If 0 is divided by any real number other than 0 is equal to 0.
0 ÷ A=0 A ≠ 0 Example: 0 ÷ 18=0
A 13
* Division by 0 is not defined, that is is undefined . Example: is undefined
0 0
2.12 Division Property of One
If a number other than 0 is divided by itself, it is equal to 1. A ÷ A = 1 Example: 21 ÷ 21 = 1
2.13 Closure Property: If A and B are real numbers, then A + B is a unique real number, and A ∙ B is a
unique real number. (If A and B are real numbers, then A + B and A ∙ B are real numbers.)
Example 1: 4 and 6 are real numbers; 4 + 6 = 10 and 4 x 6 = 24, and 10 and 24 are real numbers.
Therefore, real numbers are closed under addition and multiplication.
1
Example 2: Real numbers are not closed under the operation division because is not a real
0
number even though 1 and 0 are real numbers.
2.14 Density Property: There is always a real number between any two real numbers.
Example: Between 3 and 4 is 3.5

EXPONENTIAL AND SCIENTIFIC NOTATIONS

1. Exponential notation is another way of writing a number that is taken as a factor for a certain
number of times. Examples: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 2 4 = 16 5 x 5 x 5 = 53 = 125
2. Scientific notation is expressing a number as a product of a number greater than or equal to 1 but
less than 10 and a power of 10. Examples: 839 = 8.39 x 102 ; 7 654 = 7.654 x 103

ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Remember PEMDAS: Parentheses first, Exponents next, then Multiplication or Division before
Addition or Subtraction.
Example 1: 4 + (6 – 3)2 x 4 – 6 = 4 + 32 x 4 – 6 = 4 + 9 x 4 – 6 = 4 + 36 – 6 = 40 – 6 = 34
Example 2: 175 – (82–32) + (81÷ 3)2 x 100 = 175 – (64–32) + (27)2 x 100 = 175 – 32 + 729 x 100
= 143 + 72 900 = 73 043

DIVISIBILITY RULES
A number is divisible by:
2 – if the number ends in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 (the number is even).
Examples: 340 432 6 534 29 326 342 628
3 – if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
Example: 34 671 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 1 = 21 21 ÷ 3 = 7
4 – if the last two digits of the number is divisible by 4.
Example: 34 736 36 ÷ 4 = 9 123 640 40 ÷ 4 = 10
5 – if the number ends in 0 or 5.
Examples: 25 680 194 895
6 – if the number is even and is divisible by 3.
Example: 1 356 (1 356 is an even number and divisible by 3 since 1 + 3 + 5 + 6 = 15; 15 ÷ 3=5)
7 - if twice the last digit of the number, when subtracted from the remaining digits, will give a
difference of 0 or a number that is divisible by 7.
Examples: 448 44 – (2 x 8) = 44 – 16 = 28; 28 ÷ 7 = 4
189 18 – (2 x 9) = 18 – 18 = 0
8 – if the last three digits of the number are 000 or divisible by 8.
Examples: 92 000 79 128 (128 ÷ 8 = 16)
9 – if the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 9.
Example: 12 861 1 + 2 + 8 + 6 + 1 = 18 18 ÷ 9 = 2
10 – if the number ends in 0.
 Examples: 340 1 250 3 540
11 – if the difference between the sum of the 1 st, 3rd, 5th, . . . and the sum of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, . . . digits
is divisible by 11.
3
Example: 90 816 9 + 8 + 6 = 23 0+1=1 23 – 1 = 22 22 ÷ 11 = 2
1 st 3rd 5th 2 nd 4th
12 – if the number is divisible by 3 and 4.
Example: 1 428 1 + 4 + 2 + 8 = 15 15 ÷ 3 = 5 1 428 is divisible by 3
The last digit of 1 428 is 28. 28 ÷ 4 = 7 Therefore, 1 428 is divisible by 12
13 – if the sum of four times the last digit and the number formed by the remaining digits is divisible
by 13.
Example : 182 4x2=8 18 + 8 = 26 26 ÷ 13 = 2

PRIME AND COMPOSITE NUMBERS

Prime numbers are counting numbers that have only two factors, 1 and the number itself.
Examples: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, . . .
Composite numbers are counting numbers that have more than two factors.
Examples: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, . . .

 1 is neither prime nor composite.

 2 is the only even number that is prime.
 All even numbers, except 2, are composite.
 Some composite numbers are odd.
 All prime numbers are odd, except 2.

PRIME FACTORIZATION

Prime factorization refers to both the process as well as to the result of the process of expressing a
counting number as the product of its prime factors.
Example: 32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 2 5
* If the counting number is prime, its prime factorization is the number itself.
Example: 11 The prime factorization of 11 is itself.

Methods of Getting the Prime Factorization of Numbers

1. Continuous/Repeated Division Example: 24 2 24
2 12 The prime factorization of 24
2 6 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 or 2 3 x 3

2. Factor Tree Example: 12 12

2x 6 The prime factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3 or 2 2 x 3

2 x 2 x3

GREATEST COMMON FACTOR (GCF)

The GCF of two or more numbers is the largest whole number divisor of the given numbers.
Example: The GCF of 10 and 15 is 5.

Methods of finding the GCF

1. Intersection of Sets Method /Listing Method
Example1: 10 1, 2, 5, 10 Common Factors : 1, 2, 5 GCF = 5
15 1, 2, 3, 5, 15

Example 2: 8 : 1, 2, 4, 8
10 : 1, 2, 5, 10 Common Factors: 1, 2 GCF = 2
24 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
2. Prime Factorization

5 is the GCF of 10, 15, 30 2 x 2 = 4 is the GCF of 12, 16, and 24
4

3. Euclidian Method ( can only be used when finding the GCF of only two numbers )
Example: 12 and 20
Steps: 1) Divide the larger number by the other.
2) If there is a remainder, divide the last divisor by the remainder. Repeat this no
remainder is left.
3) The GCF is the last divisor.
20 ÷ 12 = 1 with a remainder of 8
12 ÷ 8 = 1 with a remainder of 4
8 ÷ 4 = 2 with no remainder Thus, the GCF of 12 and 20 is 4.

Two or more numbers are said to be relatively prime if their GCF is 1.

Example: 11, 12, 19 11 = 1, 11
12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
15 = 1, 3, 5_______
1 is the GCF of 11, 12, and 15

LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE (LCM)

The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the least nonzero multiple of all the
numbers.

Methods of Finding the LCM

1. Intersections of Sets Method/Listing Method – List their multiples from least to greatest until you
arrive at a common multiple.
Example 1: 8 – 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, . . . The LCM of 8 and 20 is 40.
20 – 20, 40, . . .

Example 2: 3 – 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, . . . The LCM of 3, 5, and 10 is 30.
5 – 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, . . .

2. Prime Factorization – Write the prime factorization for each of the given numbers so that common,
and only common prime factors are in the same column. Bring down all the prime factors of the
numbers. The common prime factors shall be brought just once. The product of the prime factors is
the LCM of the numbers.
Example: 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 3=1x3
20 = 2 x 2 x 5 5=1x 5
2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 40 is the LCM of 8 and 20 10 = 5x2
1 x 3x5 x2 = 30
3. Euclidean Algorithm – Divide the product of the two given numbers by their GCF.
a∙b
[a, b] =

Kinds of Fractions
1. As to relation between the numerator and the denominator.
1.1 Proper fraction – The numerator is less than the denominator. It is less than 1.
1 3
Examples:
5
, 6
1.2 Improper fraction – The numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator. It is equal to or
15 6 1 16

product of the remaining prime factors if there are more than one.
20 2x 2x 5 5
Example: = =
36 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 9
Operations on Fractions
1. Addition (Subtraction)
1.1 To add similar or subtract similar fractions, add or subtract the denominators and copy the
3 2 5 4 6 10 2 1
common denominator. Examples: + = + = =1 =1
6 6 6 8 8 8 8 4
 1.2 To add mixed numbers with similar fractional parts, add the whole numbers. Then add the
2 4 6 3
similar fractions. Example: 5 + 6 =11 =11
8 8 8 4
6 3/4 + 2 2/4 = 8 5/4 = 8 + (1 ¼) = 8 + 1 + ¼ = 9 1/4
1.3 To add mixed numbers with dissimilar fractional parts, change the dissimilar fractions to similar
fractions first. Add the whole numbers, then the resulting similar fractions.
3 1 3 2 5 1
Example: 5 + 6 = 5 + 6 = 11 or 12
4 2 4 4 4 4
1.4 To subtract mixed numbers with similar fractional parts, subtract the whole numbers. Then
4 2 2 1
subtract the fractional parts. Example 1: 6 −¿5 =1 =1
8 8 8 4
If the numerator of the fractional part in the subtrahend is less than the fractional part of the
minuend, borrow 1 from the whole number and rename it as fraction with the same
numerator and denominator (The denominator should be equal to the denominator of the
2 5 11 5 6 2 9 9 2 11
given fractions) . Example: 7 - 4 =6 - 4 = 2 =2 1= + =
9 9 9 9 9 3 9 9 9 9

2 15 x 2 30
the denominator. Example: 15 x = = =10
3 3 3
2. To multiply a fraction by another fraction, multiply the numerators and then the denominators.

2 3 1
of the divisor. Examples: The reciprocal of is . The reciprocal of 5 is .)
3 2 5

2 3
fraction. Example:The reciprocal of 5 is .)
3 17
DECIMALS
1. To add decimals, write them in column. Align the decimal points. Add like whole numbers.
2. To subtract decimals, subtract like subtracting whole numbers. If the number of digits in the
minuend is less than that of the subtrahend, add zeros to make the number of decimal places the
same.
3. To multiply decimals, multiply like whole numbers. The number of decimal places in the product
should be equal to the number of decimal places in the factors. To locate the decimal point in the
product, start counting from the right going to the left until the desired number of decimal places
is attained.
4. To divide a decimal by a whole number, divide like dividing whole numbers. Place the decimal
point in the quotient in line with the decimal point in the dividend.
5. To divide a whole number or a decimal by a decimal, make the divisor a whole number by moving
the decimal point to the right. The number of movements is dependent on the number of
decimal places. Divide like dividing whole numbers. If there is a decimal point in the dividend,
Align the decimal point in the quotient and in the dividend.
RATIO AND PROPORTION
A ratio is the relationship between two quantities or terms. It tells how much greater or lesser
one term is in comparison with another term. The terms being compared are separated using a colon
( : ) or a fraction bar.
8
The ratio 8 to 12 is written as 8 : 12 or .
12
Simplifying a ratio is just like simplifying a fraction.
A rate is a comparison of two quantities that have different units. Examples: 195 km : 4 hour,
P1 440 : 3 sets
A proportion is a statement of equality between two ratios.
In a proportion, the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes (Fundamental
Property of Proportion).
Example:
3 : 5 = 6 : 10 3 and 10 are the extremes; 5 and 6 are the means
3 x 10 = 5 x 6
30 = 30
To find the missing term in a proportion, use the fundamental property of proportion.
21 7
Examples: n : 12 = 15 : 36 =
n 18
36 n = 12 x 15 7n = 21 x 18
36n = 180 7n = 378
n = 180 ÷ 36 n = 378 ÷ 7
n = 5 n = 54
7
*A proportion is said to direct if as one term increases, the other term increases at the same rate.
Example: A carpenter receives P680 for 8 hours at work. How much should he receive for 6 hours
of work at the same rate? P680 : 8 = w : 6
8w = P680 x 6
8w = P4 080
w = P580
The division of a quantity or a whole into two or more equal or unequal parts is called partitive
proportion. The ratios in a partitive proportion can be presented in the form

x : y : z = nx : ny : nz.
Example: In an orchard of 1 800 trees, there are guava, lanzones and guyabano trees planted
in the ratio of 2 : 4 : 3. How many trees of each kind are there in the orchard?
2 : 4 : 3 = 2n : 4n : 3n 2n + 4n + 3n = 1 800 2n = 2(200) = 400 guava trees
9n = 1 800 4n = 4(200) = 800 lanzones trees
n = 200 3n = 3(200) = 600 guyabano trees

PERCENT
A percent comes from the Latin word per centum which means for every hundred. In Math,
percent is a special ratio that compares a certain number to 100. It is a ratio whose meaning is similar
to a fraction whose denominator is 100. It can be written also as a decimal.
70 25
Example: 70 : 100 = = 0.70 = 70% 25% = 25 : 100 = = 0.25
100 100
* To change a decimal to percent, simply move the decimal point two places to the right and affix the
symbol %. Examples : 0. 34 = 34 % 0.543 = 54.3 %
* To change a percent to decimal, drop the percent symbol and move the decimal point two places to
4
the left. Examples: 55% = 0.55 265% = 2.65 3 % = 3.8% = 0.038
5
* To change a percent to fraction, replace the percent symbol by the denominator 100 and then
36 9
simplify the fraction, if it is possible. Examples: 36% = =
100 25
* To change a common fraction to percent, change it first to a decimal by dividing the numerator by
3
the denominator. Change the decimal to percent. Example: = 3 ÷ 4=0.75=75 %
4
Finding the Percentage
To find the percentage, multiply the base by the rate ( p = r x b).
Examples: 1) 25% of 150 = n 25% x 150 = 0.25 x 150 = 37.50
2) In a class of 40 pupils, 25 % stayed for a few minutes to put everything in the room order. How
many pupils stayed in the room? 25% x 40 = 0.25 x 40 = 10 pupils stayed in the room
3) In a parents-teachers meeting, 75 people attended. 60% attendees were parents. How many
were teachers? 60% x 75 = 0.6 x 75 = 45 were parents 75 – 45 = 30 were teachers

Finding the Base

p
To find the base, divide the percentage by the rate ( b = )

3) A basketball team won 17 out of 20 games played. What percent of the game did the team lose?
p 20−17 3
r= = = = 0.15 = 15% of the games, the team lost
b 20 20
COMMISSION
Commission is a percentage of the total sales or amount received for a business transaction and is
paid to the individual who serves as the agent in the transaction.
Examples: 1) A agent sold P76 000 000 worth of property at 4.5% commission rate. How much did
he earn from the sale? 4.5% x P76 000 000 = 0.045 x P76 000 000 = P3 420 000 is the commission
2) What is the commission rate on a sale worth P9 000 with a commission of P540?

DISCOUNT
The marked price (original price) is the price at which a product is originally sold. The discount is the
reduction (amount of money) in the marked price. The net price is the amount that remains after the
discount is subtracted from the marked price.
Examples: 1) A dining set that costs P22 995 is sold at 24% discount. What is the net price of the
dining set? 24% x P22 995 = 0.24 x P22 995 = P5 518.80 is the discount
P22 995 – P5 518.80 = P17 476.20 is the net price
2) A shirt costs P300. The original price is P360. What was the discount rate?

FINDING INTEREST
A. Simple Interest is the amount earned or charged for money invested or borrowed at a certain rate
per year. Principal is the amount of money invested or borrowed. Interest rate is the percent of the
principal paid or earned. Time, expressed in years, is the period allotted for repayment of the
principal. To solve for the simple interest, use the formula: I = principal x rate x time or I = prt.
Examples: 1) A certain bank pays 4.5% annual interest on time deposit. How much interest will it pay
a client at the end of 1 year for an investment of P85 000?
I = prt = P85 000 x 4.5% x 1 = P85 000 x 0.045 x 1 = P3 825
2) I have P800 000 in the bank. If the bank pays me 5% interest on this amount every year, how
1
much interest will I get for year?
2
5 5 5 P 200 000
I = P800 000 x 5% x ? I = P800 000 x 0.05 x = P40 000 x = =¿P 16 666.67
12 12 12 12
3) Nila deposited P1 200 in a bank and left it there for 1 year. Her new balance became P1 308.
What is the interest rate that the bank gives per annum?
Amount of Interest = New Balance – Principal = P1 308 – P1 200 = P108.00
amount of interest P 108 P 108
Interest Rate = = = =0.09=9 %
principal x time P 1 200 x 1 P 1 200
4) How many years will it take for P1 000 000 invested at 5% interest per year to double itself?
I = P1 000 000 x 5% x 1 = P1 000 000 x 0.05 x 1 = P50 000
To determine the number of years for the amount to double itself, divide P2 000 000 by the
interest per year. N = P2 000 000 ÷ P50 0000 = 40 years

B. Compound Interest – When an interest is added to an amount every year and by itself earns
interest, we say it is compounded annually.
Examples: If P25 000 in the bank earns 4% interest every year, what is the interest after two years if
it is compounded annually? Interest after 1 year: I = prt = P25 000 x 4% x 1 = P1 000
New Balance = P25 000 + P1 000 = P26 000
Interest after 2 years: I = prt = P26 000 x 0.04 x 1 = P1 040

Problems:
1) Which has a greater perimeter, the barangay medicinal garden 15 m by 12 m or the square
barangay hall whose side is 14 meters?
Perimeter of the medicinal garden : P = 2(l+w) = 2(15 + 12) = 2(27) = 54 meters
 Perimeter of the barangay hall : P =4s = 4(14) = 56 meters
Therefore, the square barangay hall has a greater perimeter.
2) For being outstanding in cleanliness, our barangay received an equilateral triangle plaque whose
one side is 18 cm. What is the perimeter of the plaque? P = 3s = 3(18cm) = 54 cm
3) All councilmen voted for a resolution to convert 12 m by 6 m portion of the barangay hall to be
divided to make one big room for the barangay clinic and one small room for the barangay
secretary. The width of both rooms is the same but the length of the big room is twice as long as
the small room. What is the perimeter of the small room?
Big room: 8 m by 6 m Small room : 4 m by 6 m n + 2n = 12m 3n = 12m n = 4m 2n = 8m
Perimeter of the small room : P = 2(l + w) = 2(4m + 6m) = 2(10m) = 20 meters
4) What is the circumference of a circular swimming pool for children if its radius is 5 meters?
C = 2 π r = 2 x 3.14 x 5m = 31.4 meters
5) Several squatters seek the permission of their barangay to allow them to plant on a 24 m by 24 m
lot. If each squatter will use 3m by 3m plot, how many plots will there be?
Area of the big lot = 24m x 24 m = 576 m 2 Area of each plot = 3 m x 3 m = 9 m 2
No. of plots = 576 m ÷ 9 m2 = 64 plots

6) It was unanimously approved by the councilmen that a square mini fish pond whose side 3 m be
constructed at the 9 m by 8 m barangay hall backyard. What will be the area of the backyard
excluding the mini fish pond?
Area of the backyard = 9 m x 8 m = 72 m 2 Area of the mini fishpond = 3 m x 3 m = 9 m 2
Area of the backyard – area of the mini fish pond = 72 m 2 – 9 m2 = 63 m2
7) The barangay council passed a resolution to convert an idle piece of land that measures 26 m on
one side and 31 m on the opposite side while the measure across is 18 m to a medicinal garden.
What is the area of the land? (Note: The land is trapezoid in shape.)

8) Jay helps Glen in constructing a circular fish pond in their 12 m by 6 m rectangular backyard. If the
diameter of the pond is 4 meters, what is the area of the backyard not occupied by the pond?
Area of the backyard = l x w = 12 m x 6 m = 72 m 2
Area of the circular pond = π r2 = 3.14 x 42 = 3.14 x 16 m2 = 50.24 m2
Area of the backyard – Area of the circular pond = 72 m 2 – 50.24 m2 = 21.76 m2
9) The diameter of a circular swimming pool is 18 meters. The walk around the pool is 2 meters wide.
What is the area of the walk alone? D = 18 meters r = 9 meters
Area of the circular swimming pool = π r2 = 3.14 x 9 m x 9 m = 3.14 x 81 m 2 = 254.34 m2
D = 18 m + 2m = 20 m r = 10 m
Area of the swimming pool + cemented walk around = π r2 =3.14 x 10 m x 10 m =3.14 x 100m2 =314 m2
Area of the cemented walk around the pool = 314 m 2 – 254.34 m2 = 59.66 m2
