Prime Factors

Highest Common Factor (HCF)

Apart from prime numbers, any whole number greater than 1 can be written as a product of prime factors. This means the number is written using only prime numbers multiplied together.

The highest factor that two numbers have in common is called the HCF.

A prime number has only two factors, 1 and itself. 1 is not a prime number. The prime numbers up to 20 are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19

Example Find the HCF of 60 and 96. Write the numbers as products of their prime factors. 60 = 2 × 2

×3×5

96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 The diagram below shows the prime factors of 60.

Ring the factors that are common. 60 = 2 × 2

×3×5

96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 2

These give the HCF = 2 × 2 × 3

5

Divide 60 by its first prime factor, 2. Divide 30 by its first prime factor, 2. Divide 15 by its first prime factor, 3. We can now stop because the number 5 is prime. As a product of its prime factors, 60 may be written as: 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 or in index form 60 = 22 × 3 × 5

Lowest (Least) Common Multiple (LCM)

SUMMARY

The LCM is the lowest number that is a multiple of two numbers.

Any whole number greater than 1 can be written as a product of its prime factors, apart from prime numbers themselves (1 is not prime).

Example Find the LCM of 60 and 96.

The highest factor that two numbers have in common is called the highest common factor (HCF).

Write the numbers as products of their prime factors. 60 = 2 × 2

×3×5

The lowest number that is a multiple of two numbers is called the lowest (least) common multiple (LCM).

96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 60 and 96 have a common factor of 2 × 2 × 3, so it is only counted once. 60 = 2 × 2

QUESTIONS

×3×5

96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 The LCM of 60 and 96 is 2×2×2×2×2×3×5

QUICK TEST 1. Write these numbers as products of their prime factors:

A fraction is part of a whole number. The top number is the numerator and the bottom number is the denominator. Fractions can be cancelled by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor: ÷3

Addition +

12 = 4 15 5 ÷3

You need to change the fractions so that they have the same denominator. Example The lowest common denominator is 5+1 63 since both 9 and 7 go into 63. 9 7 = 35 + 9 63 63 Remember to add only the numerators = 44 and not the denominators. 63

Subtraction – You need to change the fractions so that they have the same denominator. Example 4–1 5 3 The lowest common denominator is 15. = 12 – 5 15 15 Remember to subtract only the = 7 numerators and not the denominators. 15

Division ÷ Before starting, write out whole or mixed numbers as improper fractions. Example 21 ÷ 12 3 7 =7÷9 3 7

Convert to improper fractions.

=7×7 3 9

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply both fractions.

= 49 27 = 1 22 27

Rewrite the fraction as a mixed number.

Reciprocals The reciprocal of a number x is a a x For example, the reciprocal of 47 is 74

Decimals and Fractions To change a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator, either by short division or by using a calculator. To change a decimal into a fraction, write the decimal as a fraction with a denominator of 10, 100, etc. (look at the last decimal place to decide) and then cancel.

Multiplication ×

Examples 2 = 2 ÷ 5 = 0.4 5

Before starting, write out whole or mixed numbers as improper fractions (also known as top-heavy fractions).

0.23 = 23 100

The last decimal place is ‘hundredths’ so the denominator is 100.

0.165 = 165 = 33 1000 200

Example 2×4 7 5 = 2×4 7×5 = 8 35

1 = 1 ÷ 8 = 0.125 8

Multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together.

Decimals that never stop and have a repeating pattern are called recurring decimals. All fractions give either terminating or recurring decimals.

SUMMARY

Examples 1 = 0.333 3333… usually written as 0.3. 3 5 = 0.454 545 45… usually written as 0.4.5. 11 4 = 0.571 428 571… usually written as 0.5. 71 428. 7

To add or subtract fractions, write them using the same denominator. To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. To divide fractions, take the reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply the fractions together.

Fraction Problems You may need to solve problems involving fractions.

When multiplying and dividing fractions, write out whole or mixed numbers as improper fractions before you begin.

Examples 1. A school has 1400 pupils. 740 pupils are boys.

Decimals that never stop and have a repeating pattern are recurring decimals.

Rounding to the Nearest 10, 100 and 1000

Significant Figures

When rounding you must always look at the digit in the next place value column. If the digit is 5 or more, round up. If the digit is 4 or less, you round down.

The first significant figure (s.f.) is the first digit that is not a zero. The 2nd, 3rd… significant figures follow on after the first significant figure. They may or may not be zeros.

For example, 2469.1 is:

The same rules apply as in decimal places.

2469 to the nearest whole number 2470 to the nearest 10 2500 to the nearest 100 2000 to the nearest 1000.

6347 = 6350 (3 s.f.)

Decimal Places

The digit is bigger than 5, so the 4 rounds to a 5.

You must fill in the end zero(s). This is often forgotten.

When rounding numbers to a given number of decimal places (d.p.), count the number of places to the right of the decimal point, then look at the next digit on the right.

Examples 1. Round 9.3156 to…

If the number is 5 or bigger, round up. If the number is 4 or smaller, the digit stays the same.

a. 3 s.f. = 9.32

The 5 has the effect of rounding the 1 to a 2.

b. 2 s.f. = 9.3

The 1 is less than 5, so the 3 does not change.

c. 1 s.f. = 9

The 3 is less than 5, so to 1 s.f. it is 9, since 9.3156 is nearer to 9 than 10.

2.3725 = 2.373 (3 d.p.) The digit is 5 so round up the 2.

The 2 rounds up to a 3.

Examples Round the following to the number of decimal places specified in the brackets. 1. 4.6931 (2 d.p.) = 4.69

2. 27.325 (2 d.p.) = 27.33

The 3 is less than 5, so the 9 does not change. The 5 has the effect of rounding the 2 to a 3.

The 7 has the 3. 149.3867 (3 d.p.) = 149.387 effect of rounding the 6 to a 7. 4. 271.74 (1 d.p.) = 271.7

2. Round 0.735 to… a. 2 s.f. = 0.74

The 5 has the effect of rounding the 3 to a 4.

b. 1 s.f. = 0.7

The 3 is less than 5, so the 7 does not change.

The 4 is less than 5, so has no effect on the 7.

Estimating When estimating the answer to a calculation, you must round each number to 1 significant figure. 273 × 49 ≈ 300 × 50 = 500 28 30 ≈ means approximately equal to If a measurement is accurate to some given amount, then the true value lies within half a unit of that amount. The upper bound is the maximum possible value the measurement could have been. The lower bound is the minimum possible value the measurement could have been. If the weight (w) of a cat is 8.3 kg to the nearest tenth of a kilogram, then the weight would lie between 8.25 kg and 8.35 kg.

SUMMARY To round or correct to a given number of decimal places (d.p.), count that number of decimal places to the right of the decimal point. Look at the next digit on the right. If it is 5 or more you need to round up. Otherwise the digit stays the same. When measurements are given to a certain degree of accuracy: – highest possible value = upper bound – lowest possible value = lower bound For any number, the first significant figure is the first number that is not a zero. The 2nd, 3rd... significant figures follow on after the first significant figure. They may or may not be zeros.

The limits of accuracy can be written using inequalities as shown: 8.25 w 8.35 Lower bound

Upper bound
