a-d, a, a+d…… a, ar, ar2 n*lowest term <Sum < n* highest term
Tn = a + (n-1)d Tn = arn-1
n Sn = a(rn - 1)/(r-1)
Sn = ( first + last ) If a is a factor of b, then KIC strategy - multi storey
2 for (r ≠ 1) All factors of a
b/a = k structure
= an for (r = 1) number are
If a is a multiple of b, then Multiples – 10,20,30
a = b*k Number - 10 also factors of
Factor/Divisors – 1,2,5,10 their multiples
Concept – Remainders and Divisibility
If a number a is divisible by b, then a/b = k
Prime factors – a factor which is
(an integer), remainder = 0
Factors/Divisors – a number is prime. For example prime factors of
If a number N is divided by D and R is the divisible by its factors/divisors 12 are 2 and 3 but the factors of 12
remainder then are 1,2,3,4,6 and 12
N = D k + R (k is an integer and R< D, i.e,
remainder < divisor
Numbers Prime number – a positive integer greater
than 1 which has only two factors, 1 and
ODD/EVEN itself.
Odd ± odd = even Units digit of a number follows a
Odd ± even = odd pattern. Number of Factors
Even ± even = even 1 - 1,1,1,1…
Odd x odd = odd 2 - 2,4,8,6,2,4,8,6…. N = a x b y c z where a , b , c are distinct
Odd x even = even 3 – 3,9,7,1,3,9,7,1 prime numbers then number of factors are
Even x even = even 4 – 4,6,4,6,… given by - (x+1)*(y+1)*(z+1)
5 – 5,5,5,5,…
6 – 6,6,6,6…
7 – 7,9,3,1,7,9,3,1…
Consecutive numbers
8 – 8,4,2, 6,8,4,2,6,.. Decimals - Terminating decimal
Two consecutive numbers - Sum will be 9 – 9,1,9,1,… If the denominator has only 2 and/or 5
odd. Product will be even as the prime factors, it terminates.
Three consecutive numbers Recurring decimals
(odd,even,odd) - product will be even and Decimals – Terminology - The first 1
= 0.3 (one digit recurring)
divisible by 2,3 and 6 number to the right of the 3
Three consequtive numbers decimal is called the “tenths” 1
place, the next is called the = 0.09 (two digits recurring)
(even,odd,even) - product will be even 11
and divisible by 2,3,4,6,8,12,24 “hundredths” and so on….. 1/7 = 0.142857(six digits recurring)
