001 FOM- Arithmetic Flashcards
Define: integer
A whole number
Express x as a factor of y for some integer n
y=xn
What is another name for factor?
Divisor
What are the quotient and remainder for the following equation?
=28/8
Quotient is 3
Remainder is 4
Express quotient and remainder as a formula. What are the bounds of r?
y = xq+r
0
What are the quotient and remainder when a smaller integer is divided by a larger one?
Q= 0 R = the smaller integer
Y=xq+r
5=7*0+5
Define prime numbers
A positive integer with two different positive divisors, 1 and itself.
What is the smallest prime number?
2
Express consecutive integers as an equation
N, n+1, n+2, n+3…where n is an integer
Express consecutive even integers as an equation
2n, 2n+2, 2n+4…
Define least common multiple
The smallest common multiple of two numbers
How do you divide by a fraction?
Invert the divisor (ie take the reciprocal of the fraction) and multiply
Define a mixed number.
A number consisting of a whole number and a fraction
How to change a mixed number into a fraction?
Multiple the whole number by the denominator and add to the numerator
7 2/3 = 23/3
Express 0.0321 as a fraction
0/10 + 3/100+2/1000+1/10,000
= 321/10,000
lcm is 10,000
How to multiply decimals?
Multiply the numbers as whole numbers. Insert the decimal so that the number of digits to the right is equal to the sum of the numbers of digits to the right of the decimal points in the numbers being multiplied.
2.09 x 1.3 = 627+2090= 2.717
How to divide decimals?
Move the decimal point of the divisor to the right until it’s a whole number. Move the decimal of the dividend the same number. Divide. Put the decimal in the quotient directly above the decimal in the new dividend.
12.4[698.12
=124[6981.2
=56.3
Express xy+xz alternatively
X(y+z)
Define proportion re ratios
Statement that two ratios are equal
How can you find the % increase?
1) find amount of increase
2) divide increase by original amount
3) express as a %
How does the % increase from x to y compare to a % decrease from y to x?
Decrease will be a smaller %, as it is the same amount of change, but the comparable is a larger number
What happens when you square a number between 0 and 1?
It gets smaller
1/3 squared = 1/9
How many square roots does a positive number have?
Two: one positive and the other negative
How many cube roots does a real number have
One
