Divisibility By 7 or 13
• Divide the number into groups of 3 digits (starting from right) and find
the difference between the sum of the numbers in odd and even
places. If the difference is 0 or divisible by 7 or 13 (as the case may
be), it is divisible by 7 or 13.

Number Theory
• Rational Numbers: Numbers which can be expressed in the form p q,
where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0, are called rational numbers.

• Irrational Numbers: Numbers which when expressed in decimal would


be in non-terminating and non-repeating form, are called irrational
numbers.
Important Facts
• All natural numbers are whole numbers.
• All whole numbers are not natural numbers.
• 0 is a whole number which is not a natural number.
• Even number + Even number = Even number
• Odd number + Odd number = Even number
• Even number + Odd number = Odd number
• Even number – Even number = Even number
Important Facts
• Odd number – Odd number = Even number
• Even number – Odd number = Odd number
• Odd number – Even number = Odd number
• Even number × Even number = Even number
• Odd number × Odd number = Odd number
• Even number × Odd number = Even number
• The smallest prime number is 2.
Important Facts
• The only even prime number is 2.
• The first odd prime number is 3.
• 1 is a unique number – neither prime nor composite.
• The least composite number is 4.
• The least odd composite number is 9.
Test for a Number to be Prime:
• Let p be a given number and let n be the smallest counting number
such that n2 ≥ p.
• Now, test whether p is divisible by any of the prime numbers less than
or equal to n. If yes, then p is not prime otherwise, p is prime.
• Que:- Test, which of the following are prime numbers?
(i) 137 (ii) 173
Test for a Number to be Prime:
(iii) 319

(iv) 437

(v) 811
Multi plication short cut
1. Multiplication By Distributive Law:
(i) a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
(ii) a × (b – c) = a × b – a × c
