*Least Common Multiple(LCM)


>The least common multiple of a and b, denoted by Icm(a, b), is the smallest positive integer
that is both divisible by a and b.

Examples:
Find the Least Common Multiple of the ff.:
1.) 18 and 20
2.) 40 and 108
3.) 24 and 108
4.) 35 and 126
5.) 55 and 176

1.) 18 and 20
>LCM = 180
18 36547290 108 126 144 162 180 198
20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220

—-- Or you can use the ladder method

LCM

2 ÷ 18 , 20
= 9 10

2 x 9 x 10 = 180

Ladder method:
>> a ÷ (a,b) = r → a × r = ANSWER
>> a is the number that you would divide to the a and b, (a,b) is the given, and r is the
remainder
-the number(a) that you would divide to the given number(a,b) always starts at 2, since
there would be two given numbers, be sure that they would be both divisible by a.
- if the divisor(a) isn’t divisible to the given numbers(n), you change the divisor (2 to 3,3 to 4
,so on)
__Example: LCM of 18 and 21
-18 is divisible by 2, but 21 isn’t, so we change the divisor to 3
3 ÷ 18 , 21 → 3 x 6 x 7 = 126
6 7
>> you stop once both of the remainders isn’t divisible anymore with the same number
2.) 40 and 108

2 ÷ 40 , 108
2 ÷ 20 , 54 → 2 x 2 x 10 x 27 = 1,080

>Unary Operation: It accepts only one value or operand.


>Binary Operations: It takes two values and include the operations of addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, and exponentiation. An operation is binary if it takes two real
numbers as arguments to produce another real number.

*Number System in Computer​

Common Number System: ​


-Decimal system or base 10​
-0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9​

Number System in Computer:​


-Binary or base 2​
-0 and 1​
-01110111​
-Number system that computer uses to store and manipulate number​

Other Number System:​

-Base 8 or Octal​
-0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7​

-Base 16 or Hexadecimal​
-0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F ​
- A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15​
iii. If k=8, the base – 8 representation of n is called the octal representation of n.​
iv. If k=16, the base – 16 representation of n is called the hexadecimal representation of n.

Examples:
1.) Consider n = 41 and k = 2
Change the base10 41 into binary.
By the use of division algorithm,

41 = 2(20) +1
20 = 2(10) +0
10 = 2(5) +0
5 = 2(2) +1
2 = 2(1) +0
1 = 2(0) +1

(41)2 = 101001

Self notes:
>> n = k(q) + r , where q = n÷k , and k is the base that is given , and where r is used to
balance both sides of the equation
( 41 = 2(20) +1 ) → 41 = 40 +1 → 41 = 41 [balanced]
>> stop once k(q) → q = 0 ( 1 = 2(0) +1 )
>> in writing the answer you start copying the remainder from the bottom to the top

P∨Q: 2 is an even number or 3 is an odd integer. T

2.) P: 3 divides 9.​T


Q: 3 divides 15. T
P∧Q: 3 divides 9 and 3 divides 15 T
P∨Q: 3 divides 9 or 3 divides 15 T

3.) P: √4 is a rational number. T


Q: √2 is not a rational number. T
P∧Q: √4 is a rational number and √2 is not a rational number. T
P∨Q: √4 is a rational number or √2 is not a rational number. T

3. Implications
>Suppose P and Q are propositions. The proposition P ⇒ Q or P → Q
( read as “ if P, then Q)
-P is called the premise.
-Q is called the conclusion.
Other ways of reading P ⇒ Q are:
1. P implies Q
2. Q if P
3. Q is implied by P
4. Q only if P
TRUTH TABLE:

P Q P⇒Q

If 35 = 7, then 7 is an irrational number. T

Example:​(other types of implication?)

1. If all men are mortal then Mario is mortal. (logical implication)​

2. If this polygon is a quadrilateral then it has four sides. ( Definitional implication)​

3. If today is Monday then tomorrow is Tuesday. (Sequential implication)​

4. If sugar is placed in water then it will dissolve. ( Causal implication)​

Biconditional or bi implication
-Denoted by ⟺ (iff)
-P ⟺ Q “read as P if and only if Q❞
-The statement P ⟺ Q is true if and only if both P and Q are either both true or both false.
-P ⟷ Q

Example:​

1. The curve is a circle if and only if the curve is equidistant to a point. ​


P: ​
Q:

2. The polygon is a triangle if and only if it has three sides.

Example:
Write the following in symbolic form using P, Q and R for statements and symbols ¬, ∧, ∨,
⇒, ↔ where

P: Pres. Marcos is a good president.


Q: Government officials are corrupt.
R: People are happy.

1. If Pres. Marcos is a good president, then government officials are not corrupt.
ANSWER: P ⇒ ¬Q

2. If government officials are not corrupt, then the people are happy.
ANSWER: ¬Q ⇒ R

3. If pres. Marcos is a good president and people are happy, then government officials are
not corrupt.
ANSWER: P ∧ R ⇒ ¬Q

4. Pres. Marcos is not a good president if and only if government officials are corrupt and the
people are not happy.
ANSWER: ¬P ⇔ ( Q∧ ¬R )

Converse, Inverse, Contrapositive Suppose P and Q are propositions.


Given the implication P⇒ Q.
-Converse: Q⇒ P
-Inverse: ¬P ⇒¬Q
-Contrapositive: ¬Q⇒¬P

Example:

LESSON 6 - PROBLEM SOLVING ​AND REASONING​

What is Problem Solving?​


-A problem is a situation that confronts the learner, that requires resolution, and for which the
path to the answer is not immediately known.

A good Problem Solver​


Famous mathematician, author and teacher Paul Zeitz gives three important traits of a good
problem solver. ​
He calls it the three Cs:​
-Confidence​
-Concentration​
-Creativity

Equations⊂ 18. 7C ⊂ W
1. 24H = 1D 19. 8S ⊂ SS
2. 7D = 1W 20. 1P = 1000W
12. 12S CZ
3. 52C ⊂ 1D Telephone Number Magic

POLYA’S PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGY
1. Understand the problem.​
-What is asked?​
-What are the given information?​
-Can translate the problem in his or her own word.​

2. Devise a plan.​
Thinking of strategies like: (including organizing the given information using a list, table or
chart);drawing a diagram; working backwards; looking for pattern; writing equation; guessing
at a possible solution then check if it is valid; T-A-E method ​

3. Carry out the plan.​

4. Review the solution.

EXAMPLE:
-How many different rectangles with an area of one hundred twenty square units can be
formed using unit squares?

Polya's Problem Solving Strategy


1. Understand the problem.
• What is asked? How many different rectangles?
• Given: area of 120 unit square
2. Devise a plan.
A=lxw
3. Carry out the plan.
120 unit square
1x120,2x60, 3x40, 4x30, 5x24, 6x20, 8x15, 10x12 Answer:8
4. Review the solution.
1x120,2x60, 3x40, 4x30, 5x24, 6x20, 8x15, 10x12

-10 x2 -10 =0​

0+10=10/2=5+10=15​
15+10=25/2=12.5+10=22.5​
22.5+10=32.5/2=16.25+10=26.25​

Two Types of Reasoning​

1. Inductive Reasoning​
-Forms a conclusion based on the examination of specific example.​
-The conclusion formed is called conjecture.​
-Conjecture is an idea that may or may not be correct.
2. Deductive Reasoning​
-The process of reaching a general conclusion by applying general assumptions,
procedures, or principles.

Inductive Reasoning​

Example:​
1. Predict the next number/letter in each of the following list.​
a. 5,10,15,​20 - multiple of five
b. 1,4,9,16,​15 - sum of odd numbers
c. O,T,T,F,​F, S, S, E, N, T - first letters of the counting numbers
d. 2,5,10,17,​26 - odd numbers
e. QAR, RAS, SAT, TAU,___​UAV
f. ELFA, GLHA, ILJA,___ KLLA

Deductive Reasoning

Example 1: Use deductive reasoning to make a conjecture.


Consider the following procedure:
Pick a number. N
Multiply the number by 10 10N
Add 8 to the product 10N+8
Divide the sum by 2 , and Subtract 4. 5N-4
5N

Example 2:​

Each of the four friends Donna, Sarah, Nikkie, and Dhanielle, has a different pet ( fish, cat,
dog, and snake). From the following clues, determine the pet of each individual:​

a.) Sarah is older than her friend who owns the cat and younger than her friend who owns
the dog.​
b.) Nikkie and her friend who owns the snake are both of the same age and are the youngest
members of the group.​
c.) Donna is older than her friend who owns the fish.

Example 3:​

Three volumes of the series Mathematics: Its Content, Methods, and Meaning are on a shelf
with no space between the volumes. Each volume is 1 inch thick without its covers. Each
cover is 1/8 inch thick. A bookworm bores horizontally from the first page of Volume I to the
last page of Volume III. How far does the bookworm travel?

Example 4:
Nine dots are arranged as shown. Is it possible to connect the nine dots with exactly four
lines if you are not allowed to retrace any part of a line and you are not allowed to remove
your pencil from the paper? If it can be done, demonstrate with drawing.

Example 5:
In the following addition problem, each letter represents one of the digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, or
9. The leading digits represented by A and B are nonzero digits. What digit is represented by
each letter?
Example 6: - 2,4,6,8,10,12,14​
10+10+10=30​ - 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,​
10+5+5=20​ - 0,3,8,15,24,35,?​
