Q

Multiples are

A

The multiples of any given number are those numbers that can be divided by their factors without a remainder

The multiples of any number will always be multiples of all the factors of that number

The numbers 30, 45, 60 and 75 are all multiples of the number 15 two factors of 15 are the numbers three and five that means that 30, 45, 60 and 75 are all multiples of three and five

20
Q

A sequence is

A

An ordered list of numbers

21
Q

Arithmetic sequence

A

a + d(n-1)

a is the first number in a sequence
d is the common difference
n is the term number

22
Q

Geometric sequence

A

ar^(n-1)

a is the first number in a sequence
r is the constant ratio
n is the term number

23
Q

A set is

A

A collection of things, and the things are called elements or members of the set

24
Q

Permutations are

A

Reordering of the elements in the set

For example a four letter password that can’t use the same letter twice has the possible combinations of 26 x 25 x 24 x 23 because it reduces by one each choice made

25
Q

Combinations

A

Are permutations that the members chosen make no difference

26
Q

Logical reasoning

A

You have to figure out how to draw conclusions from a set of facts

Remember the mathematical rules and apply the logic
