2. What is number?
Have you taught that why 1 is one, 2 is two, 3 is three….?
What is NUMBER THEORY?
INTRODUCTION
Fundamental theorem of arithmetic
Greatest common divisor
Least common multiple

APPLICATIONS
Cryptography
Computer arithmetic
3. WHAT IS NUMBER?
An arithmetical value, expressed by a
word, symbol, and figure, and used in
counting and making calculation.
4.
5. The number we write are
made up of algorithms,
(1,2,3,4,5,…)called arabic
algorithms; to distinguish
them from the roman
algorithms.
But what is the actual
logic that exist in the
arabic algorithms?
8. WHAT IS NUMBER THEORY?
The branch of mathematics that deal with the properties
and relationships of numbers, especially the positive
number
9. INTRODUCTION
NUMBER THEORY is the new version of
“ARITHMETIC”.
Number theory is all about integer and their
properties.
NUMBER THOERY is familiar include primes,
composites, multiples, factors, number properties,
etc.
The basic principal of NUMBER THEORY:
Greatest common divisor
Least common multiples &
Modular arithmetic
10. THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ARITHMETIC
Every positive integer can be written uniquely as
the product of primes, where the prime factor are
written in order of increasing size.
11. PRIME
•A positive integer p greater than 1 is called
prime. If the only positive factors of p are 1 and
p.
COMPOSITE
•A positive integer that is greater than 1 and is not
prime is called composite.
13. GREATEST COMMON DIVISOR
Let a & b be two integer, not both zero
The largest integer d such that d|a & d|a is called the
Greatest common divisor of a & b.
The greatest common divisor of a & b is denoted by
gcd(a,b).
Example:
What is gcd(48,72)?
•The positive common integer of 48 and 72 are
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16 and 24, so gcd(48,72)=24
14. LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE
The least common multiple of the positive integer a
&b is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by
both a & b.
We donate least common multiple of a & b by
lcm(a,b).
Example:
•Lcm(3,7)=21
•Lcm(4,6)=12
•Lcm(5,10)=10
15. MODULAR ARITHMETIC
Let a be an integer and m be a positive
integer.
We donate by a mod m the reminder when a
is divided by m.
Example:
•9 mod 4=1
•9 mod 3=0
•6 mod 3=2
21. Carl friedrich Gauss, a great mathematician,
once remarked
that “ Mathematics is the queen of science”
but “NUMBER THEORY is queen of
mathematics”.
