Topics in Real Numbers

1

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

  • Every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes in a unique way (except for order)
  • Prime factorization is the process of writing a number as a product of its prime factors
  • This theorem forms the foundation for finding HCF and LCM using prime factorization method
2

Applications of Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

  • Determining if numbers ending in zero exist for certain forms like 4ⁿ
  • Solving real-world problems involving LCM (meeting times, events, cycles)
  • Finding HCF for practical applications (arranging objects, dividing quantities)
3

Revisiting Irrational Numbers

  • Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as p/q where p, q are integers and q ≠ 0
  • √2, √3, √5, and √p (where p is prime) are all irrational
  • Proof by contradiction is used to prove irrationality

Key Concepts
