Topics in Real Numbers

1

Division Algorithm and Euclid's Algorithm

  • For positive integers a and b, there exist unique whole numbers q and r such that a = bq + r and 0 ≤ r < b.
  • This result is called the Division Algorithm.
  • The Division Algorithm is different from Euclid's algorithm, although they are closely related.
2

Prime Factorisation, HCF and LCM

  • The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes and this factorisation is unique apart from the order of the prime factors.
  • Every composite number has a prime factorisation.
  • For 24, the prime factorisation is 2 × 2 × 2 × 3.
3

Decimal Expansions of Rational Numbers

  • A rational number has either a terminating decimal expansion or a non-terminating repeating decimal expansion.
  • A terminating decimal can be written in simplest p/q form where the denominator has only prime factors 2 and/or 5.
  • If q has prime factorisation of the form 2^n 5^m, then the decimal expansion terminates.
4

Irrational Numbers and Proofs

  • A real number is irrational if it cannot be written as p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
  • Examples of irrational numbers include √2, √3, √15, π, and 0.10110111011110....
  • Theorem 1.6 states: if p is prime and p divides a^2, then p divides a.
