• Rational and Irrational numbers
• Their Decimal expansions
3. Introduction
• Real number is a value that represents a quantity along
a line.
• It consist of all rational and irrational numbers
• It has further subsets:-
1)Natural
2)Whole
3)Integers
4. • Natural Numbers:- The positive integers
(whole numbers) 1, 2, 3, etc., and
sometimes zero as well.
• Whole numbers:- A number without
fractions; an integer.
5. Euclid’s Division Lemma
• If we have two positive integers a and b,
then there exists unique
integers q and r which satisfies the
condition a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b.
• To calculate the Highest Common Factor
(HCF) of two positive integers a and b we
use Euclid’s division algorithm.
7. The Fundamental Theorem Of
Arithmetic
• Also called as Unique Factorization
Theorem, sates that every integer greater
than 1, then that product is unique, and
that the order of the factors does not
matter.
• For example:- 1200 = 24
× 31
× 52
= 3 × 2 ×
2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 = 5 × 2 × 3 × 2 × 5 × 2 ×
2 = etc.
8. Rational Numbers
• Are the numbers that can be written as a
ratio. That means it can be written as a
fraction.
9. Irrational Numbers
• All numbers that are not rational are
considered irrational. An irrational no. is
endless non-repeating digits to the right of
the decimal point.
