Number Theory
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has exactly two factors (or divisors), itself and 1.
Prime numbers less than 50{2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47}
* “2” is the only EVEN Number
285The number ends in 0 or 5.

The greatest common divisor of two or more integers can be obtained in three steps:
STEP 1: Find the prime factorization of each integer. (Use Division Method)
375 = 3 × 53 525 = 3 × 52 × 7
STEP 2: List the common prime divisors (factors) with the least power of all the given integers.
375 = 3 × 53 = 3 × 52 × 5 525 = 3 × 52 × 7 = 3 × 52 × 7
Common Prime Divisors (Factors) with Least Power: 3 and 52
STEP 3: Multiply the common prime divisors (factors) to find the greatest common divisor (factor).
3 × 52 = 75
GCD (GCF) of 375 and 525 = 75
The least common multiple (denominator) of two or more integers can be obtained in three steps:
STEP 1: Find the prime factorization of each integer. (Use Division Method)
4 = 22 10 = 2 × 5 45 = 32 × 5
STEP 2: List the prime divisors (factors) with the greatest power of all the given integers.
4 = 22 10 = 2 × 5 45 = 32 × 5
Prime Divisors (Factors) with Greatest Power: 22, 32, and 5
STEP 3: Multiply the prime divisors (factors) to find the least common multiple (denominator).
22 × 32 × 5 = 180
LCM of 4, 10 and 45 = 180
Find the GCD of 63 and 105. 63 = 32 • 7 105 = 3 • 5 • 7
Smallest exponent of each factor:3 and 7
So, the GCD is 3 • 7 = 21.
Find the LCM of 63 and 105. 63 = 32 • 7105 = 3 • 5 • 7
Greatest exponent of each factor:32, 5 and 7
So, the LCM is 32 • 5 • 7 = 315.
Find the GCD and LCM of 48 and 54. Prime factorizations of each:
48 = 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 3 = 24 • 354 = 2 • 3 • 3 • 3 = 2 • 33
GCD = 2 • 3 = 6
LCM = 24 • 33 = 432

Addition a + b = b + a for any real numbers a and b.
Multiplication a • b = b • a for any real numbers a and b.
8 + 12 = 12 + 8 is a true statement. 5 9 = 9 5 is a true statement.
Note: The commutative property does not hold true for subtraction or division.
Addition (a + b) + c = a + (b
+ c),
for any real numbers a, b, and c.
Multiplication (a • b) • c = a • (b • c),
for any real numbers a, b, and c.
(3 + 5) + 6 = 3 + (5 + 6) is true.
(4 6) 2 = 4 (6 2) is true.
Note: The associative property does not hold true for subtraction or division.
Distributive property of multiplication over additiona • (b + c) = a • b + a • cfor any real numbers a, b, and c.
Example: 6 • (r + 12) = 6 • r + 6 • 12 = 6r + 72
