Euclid’s Division Lemma (Algorithm)
a = bq + r, where, 0 = r < b.
Algorithm
A series of well defined steps which gives a procedure for solving a type of problem.
Lemma
A proven statement used for proving another statement.
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
Every composite number can be expressed as the product of primes, and this factorization is unique to every number, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.
HCF
Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers.
LCM
Product of the greatest power of each prime factor, involved in the numbers.
Terminating Decimal
Let x be a number whose fraction is in the form of p/q such that q in in the form of 2^n*5^m where, m and n are two non-negative integers, Then x will have a decimal expansion which terminates.
HCF (a,b) * LCM (a,b)
a * b
