Week Five

Introduction: Number Theory

Objective: I will understand number theory by exploring the divisibility rules. Then explore examples and be able to find GCD/GCF and LCM.

Divisibility:

r

Divisibility Rule:2: must be even & must end in 0,2,4,6,83: sum must be divisible by 34: sum must divisible by four especially the last two digits5: the last digit that end with 0 and 5 are divisible 6: the number must be divisible by 2 or 39: sum must divisible by 910: last digit with 0 are divisible11: sum of the digits in odd-numbered places will equal to the sum of the digits in even numbered places or will differ Although there are some special rules and could be divisible by different numbersinteger n is divisible by m if n=km ex) 25 is divisible by 525=5x5

GCD/GCF:

r

Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)/Greatest Common Factor: is of two whole numbers known as a and b not both 0 is the greatest whole number that is divisible by both a and b.Three Methods to finding GCD / GCF:1) Colored Rods: is a manipulative tool such as the base 10 blocks, hands on by comparing two rodsExample:Finding the Greatest Common Factor of Two Numbers The rods shown below show the factors of 6 and 8. Look at the rods and write down the factors of 6 and the factors of 8.The 3 red rods build up to 6 but not 8Then 4 red rods build up to 8 but not 6Therefore the white rods are in 2 and build both so the GCD (6,8) =22) Prime Factorization Method: is the finding the GCD of two or more by identifying each common prime number. Then the product of common factors of it lowest prime factors together. Example:3) The Intersection of Sets Method: list all the member of whole number divisors of both numbers. Then pick the greatest element in that set.Example:Let set A = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}and set B = {3, 5, 7, 9}In this two sets, the elements 3 and 5 are common

LCM:

r

Least Common Multiple (LCM): as the smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common.Methods: 1) Colored Rods: is using the same manipulative tool of colored rods to compare the same length of blocks between the two numbers.(Picture used from the slides)LCM (3,4)=122) Intersection of Sets: set of all multiples of each number and then intersect these sets to find the common multiples. The smallest element of the intersection is the least common multiple.M6=6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48.54,60..M8=8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64..LCM(6,8)=243) Prime Factorization: find the prime factorization of both numbers. The LCM is the product of all of the primes in either number, raised to the greatest power that shows up in either prime factorization.Example:2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅324⋅3= 484) Number Line: using a number line to find the where both numbers land on an exact point on the number line. Example: LCM (3,4)= 125) Division by Primes: Divide the given numbers the least prime numberExample:

Integers (multiplication)

r

Integers-multiplication rulesRULE 1: The product of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative.RULE 2: The product of two positive integers is positive.RULE 3: The product of two negative integers is positive.Examples:Rule 1: 1. (+4) x (-2) = -8 2. (-2) x (+5) = -10Rule 2: 1. (+6) x (+8) = +48 2. (+6) x (+2) = +12Rule 3: 1. (-6) x (-8) = +48 2. (-2) x (-4) = +8Properties of multiplication:Commutative Property of Multiplication: is the states that the answer remains the same when multiplying each numbers, changing the order will not change the product.Example:3x5=155x3=15Associative Property of Multiplication: states that we multiply three numbers together, the product will be the same irrespective of the order in which we multiply the numbers.Example:2×(3×4)2×(3×4)=2×12=24Distributive Property of Multiplication: states that multiplication can be distributed over addition, as well as subtraction.Example:2×(3+1)2×(3+1)=2×4=82×(3+1)=2×3+2×1=6+2=8both cases, the answer we get is the same, hence, multiplication is distributive.Identity Property of Multiplication: states that if you multiply any number by 1, the answer will always be the same number.Example:3×1=37×1=7– If you multiply any number by 0, the answer will always be zero.Integers using counters and chip model:Example: 4x -2+-8

a

Integers (division)

r

Division of real numbers:Inverse Property of Multiplication: every real number besides zero has a reciprocal and the product of any number is the reciprocal of one.Dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal Dividing by zero is impossible or no solution.Rules:Positive ÷ Positive =positive Negative ÷ Negative = positive Positive ÷ Negative = negativeNegative ÷ Positive = negativeExamples:-56÷-7=8

Irrational Numbers

r

Real (R): Any number found on the positive and negative number line{...-3.4, …-1, … 0 …10, …, 2304.5…}Integers (Z): Positive and negative whole numbers including 0{..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3…]Rational (Q): Any number that can be expressed as fraction of two integers a & bIrrational (P): Numbers that can not be written as a fraction of two integers, non-repeating decimals such as π (pi), Τ (tao), eNatural (N): Counting numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, …}imaginary (i): Square root of -1
