Know more about numbers

Properties of number:

1. Commutative Property: This property tells us we can add and multiply numbers in any order.

(i) a + b + c = b + a + c

Ex.  3 + 5 + 6 = 5 + 3 + 6

In left hand side we add 3 & 5, and then we will get 8

In right hand side we add 5 & 3, and then we will also get 8.

8 + 6 = 6 + 8

14 = 14

L.H.S and R.H.S both are equal.

 

(ii) axbxc = bxcxa

5 x 6 x 7 = 6 x 7 x 5

In left hand side we multiply 5 & 6, and then we will get 30

In right hand side we add 6 & 7, and then we will also get 42.

30 x 7 = 42 x 5

210 = 210.

LHS and RHS both are equal.

 

2. Associative Property: Both addition and multiplication can be done with two numbers at a time.

(i)  a +(b + c)= (a + b) +c

Ex.  5 + (6 + 8) = (5 + 6) + 8

  5 + 14 = 11 + 8

19 = 19

Hence proved, LHS and RHS both are equal.

 

(ii)  ax (b x c) = (a x b) x c

Ex. 5 x (6 x 8) = (5 x 6) x 8

5 x 48 = 30 x 8

240 = 240

Hence proved, L.H.S and R.H.S both are equal.

 

3. Distributive Property: In this property "multiplication distributes over addition".

a x (b +c) = a x b + a x c

Ex. 5 x (6 + 8) = 5 x 6 + 5 x 8

5 x 14 = 30 + 40

70  = 70

Hence proved, L.H.S and R.H.S both are equal.

 

4. Identity property: It tells us that zero added to any number is the number itself. Zero is called the "additive identity." The identity property for multiplication tells us that the number 1 multiply by any number gives the number itself. The number 1 is called the "multiplicative identity."

Ex. a +0 = a

                       a.1 = a

5. Additive Inverse: The additive inverse of a number ‘a’ is the number that when added to ‘a’, yields zero. This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change, and negation.

Ex.  a + (-a) = 0.

 

6. Multiplicative Inverse: It is reciprocal of a, denoted 1/a or a-1.

Ex. a.1/a = 1

 

7. Additive Inverse: In this property, reverses the sign only.

Ex. a+ (-a) = 0.

 

Divisibility Rules: Divisibility means that you are able to divide a number evenly without using the long division.

Divisibility by 2: When the unit place digit of any number is 0,2,4,6 or 8 then the number is divisible by 2.

Ex. 10, 12, 1324, 13564, 434432, 9429372, etc.

 

Divisibility by 3: When the sum of digits of a number is divisible by 3 then the number is also divisible by 3.

Ex. 465981: 4+6+5+9+8+1= 33, which is divisible by 3, so 465981 must be divisible by 3.

 

Divisibility by 4: When the number formed by the last two digits of given number is divisible by 4 or it must be two or more zeros then the number is divisible by 4.

Ex.448, 1428, 33700, 4387920, etc.

 

Divisibility by 5: When the last digit of any number is either ‘5’ or ‘0’ is divided by 5.

Ex. 6742735, 3749370, 27629345, etc.

 

Divisibility by 6: When the number is divisible by 2 and 3 both then the number must be divisible by 6.

Ex. 356478, 82458474, 73834626, are divisible by 6.

 

Divisibility by 7: When the difference between the number formed by the digits other than the units digit and twice the units digit is either 0 or multiple of 7.

Ex. 798 is divisible by 7 because 79-2x8=79-16=63 is divisible by 7 and 798 is also divisible by 7.

 

Divisibility by 8: When the number formed by the last three digits of given number is divisible by 8 or it must be three or more zeros then the number is divisible by 8.

Ex. 848, 10128,323000, 438720, etc.

 

Divisibility by 9: When the sum of digits of a number is divisible by 9 then the number is also divisible by 9.

Ex. 39469581: 3+9+4+6+9+5+8+1= 45, which is divisible by 9, so 39469581 must be divisible by 9.

 

Divisibility by 11: When the sum of digits at odd and even places is equal or differs by a number divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11.

Ex. 7004844 is divisible by 11,  since

(Sum of digits at odd places) - (Sum of places at even places) = (7+0+8+4) - (0+4+4) = 19 - 8= 11.
