NUMBERS
Number is a mathematical concept used to describe and access quantity.
Here is an interesting and lovely way to look at the beauty of mathematics, and of God, the sum of all wonders.

And look at this symmetry:
NUMBER REPRESENTATIONThe number system that we use today has taken thousand of years to develop. The Arabic system that we commonly use consists of exactly ten symbols:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Each symbol is called a digit. Our system involves counting in tens. This type of system is called denary system, and 10 is called the base of the system.It is possible to use a number other than 10. For example, computer systems use base 2( the binary system)
Numbers are combined together, using the four arithmetic operations. addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×) and division (÷)
POWERS
Repeated multiplication by the same number is known as raising to a power. For example 8×8×8×8×8 is written 85 (8 to the power 5) Check your calculator for xy.
PLACE VALUE Once a number contains more then one digits,
the idea of place value is used to tell us its worth. In number 2850 and 285, the 8 stands for something different. In 285, 8 stands for 8 ‘tens’. In 2850, the 8 stands for 8 ‘hundreds’. The following table show the names given to the first seven places.
The number shown is 4087026, which is 4 million eighty-seven thousands and twenty-six.
Millions Hundreds thousands
Ten thousands
Thousands Hundreds Tens units

REAL NUMBERS
Real Numbers are any number on a number line. It is the combined set of the rational and irrational numbers.
RATIONAL NUMBERS
Rational Numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction or ratio of two integers.
Example: 3/5, 1/3, -4/3, -25
IRRATIONAL NUMBERSIrrational Numbers are numbers that
cannot be written as a ratio of two integers. The decimal extensions of irrational numbers never terminate and never repeat.
Example: – 3.45455455545555…..
RATIO/QUOTIENT
A comparison of two numbers by division. The ratio of 2 to 3 can be stated as 2 out of 3, 2 to 3, 2:3 or 2/3.
WHOLE NUMBERS
Whole numbers are 0 and all positive numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4 ………
INTEGERS
Any positive or negative whole numbers including zero. Integers are not decimal numbers are fractions.

All of the numbers that you use in everyday life are real numbers.
Each real number corresponds to exactly one point on the number line, and

every point on the number line represents one real number.
Properties of Real Numbers
Real numbers can be classified as either _______ or ________.rational irrational
Rational numbers can be expressed as a ratio , where a and b areintegers and b is not ____! b

Real numbers can be classified a either _______ or ________.rational irrational
A real number that is not rational is irrational.
The decimal form of an irrational number neither __________ nor ________.terminates repeats

Common Misconception:
Do not assume that a number is irrational just because it is expressed using the square root symbol. Find its value first!
Study Tip:
KNOW and recognize (at least) these numbers,
