Overview

Real numbers include rational numbers and irrational numbers. The chapter builds the number system through division, prime factorisation, decimal expansions, irrationality proofs, and logarithms. The main ideas are the Division Algorithm, Euclid's Algorithm, the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, te

Key Concepts

For positive integers a and b

For positive integers a and b, there exist unique whole numbers q and r such that a = bq + r and 0 ≤ r < b. Here, q is the quotient and r is the remai

This is a stepwise method

This is a stepwise method for finding the HCF of two positive integers c and d with c > d. Repeated division is used until the remainder becomes zero.

Every composite number can be expressed

Every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes, and this factorisation is unique except for the order of the prime factors. For exampl

HCF is the greatest positive integer

HCF is the greatest positive integer that divides both numbers. LCM is formed by taking the greatest power of each prime factor present in the numbers

A rational number in simplest form

A rational number in simplest form has a terminating decimal expansion if the denominator contains only prime factors 2 and/or 5. Examples include 0.3

Learning Objectives

  • Understand how the Division Algorithm expresses any positive integer in the form a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b.
  • Use Euclid's Algorithm to find the HCF of two positive integers.
  • Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic to write composite numbers as products of primes.
  • Find HCF and LCM using prime factorisation and use the relation HCF(a,b) × LCM[a,b] = a × b.
  • Identify terminating and non-terminating repeating decimal expansions of rational numbers.
