Note: From numbers 1 to 100: there are 25 prime numbers

2- is the only even prime number

 GCF and LCM

 Greatest Common Factor(GCF)- the largest number that can divide the given
numbers

Ex. Find the GCF of 24 and 32

-by Listing Method
Set of factors of 24:
Set of factors of 32:
Common factors of 24& 32:
GCF of 24&32 = 8

-by Factor Tree method:

24 32
2 12 2 16
2 6 2 8
2 3 2 4
2 2
24= 2 *2 *2*3
32= 2* 2* 2 2*2
2* 2* 2 = 8
Ex. Find the GCF of 12 and 40
12 30

2 3 3 3

6= 2 * 3
9= 3*3
2*3 * 3 = 18

Note: Relationship of GCF and LCM:

(a)(b)=(GCF)(LCM) ; a,b are the 2 numbers

 Give Exercises on GCF and LCM (Exercise A)

 Factorial- denoted as n!
- Represents the product of all positive integers from 1 to n
n! = n(n-1)…3, 2, 1
5! = 5x4x3x2x1
= 120
 Significant Digits
-digits that define the numerical value of a number
Note: The sifnificant digit of a number begins with the first non-zero digit and
ends with the final digit be it zero or not.
Ex. 16.72 – has 4 significant digits
0. 0016 – has 2 significant digits
 Rounding Off
Ex. Round off 5, 836 to the nearest tens = 5, 840
Round off 12. 873 to the nearest hundredths = 12. 87

 Properties of Real Numbers

1. Closure Property
 The sum/difference of two more real numbers is also a real number.
Example:for addition
for multiplication
2. Commutative Property
 A change in order of real numbers that are being added/multiplied does not
change their sum/product.
Example:for addition
for multiplication
3. Associative Property
 A change in the grouping of real numbers being added/multiplied does not
change their sum/product.
Example:for addition
for multiplication

Ex. (5+8)+2 = 2+(5+8) is it commutative or associative?

 ST. TERESA REVIEW CENTER
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan
078-304-6449/09067819093
To God Be Be the Glory

Answer: commutative
If associative, it should be : (5+8)+2=2+(5+8)

4. Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition (DPMA)

 When two real numbers have been added and then multiplied by a factor, the
result will be the same when each number is multiplied by the factor and the products are
then added.
Example:

5. Identity property
a. For addition: the sum of any real number and zero is the real number.
Example:
b. For multiplication: the product of any real number and one is the real number.
Example:
6. Zero property
 The product of real number and zero is zero.
Example:
7. Inverse property
a. Additive inverse: the sum of a number and it’s opposite is zero.
Example: 2 + (-2) = 0.
b. Multiplicative inverse: the product of a number and it’s reciprocal is 1.
Example:

 Operations on Real Numbers

o Addition
Rule: same sign: add and keep the sign
Ex. (-10)+(-5)=(-15)
Different sign: subtract and copy the sign of the larger number
Ex. (-10)+(5)=(10-5=5) (-5) (copy the sign of number 10 which is negative )
o Subtraction
Rule: Change subtraction to addition, the first number stays the same but switch the
sign of the second number, then apply rules in addition.
Ex. (-5)-(5)=(-5)+(-5)=(-10)
10-(-5) = 10+5=15
o Multiplication & Division
Rule: same sign: results to a positive number
Different sign results to a negative number
Ex. 6x3= 18, (-6)x(3)= -18
Ex. (-15)/(-3)= 5, (15)/(-3)= -5

 Divisibility Rules

A whole number divides another if the remainder is zero. Hence its whole number is said
to be a divisor/ factor of the other or that other number is divisible by the whole number.

Divisibility By 2

- A number is divisible by 7 if the difference between twice its ones digit and
the number formed by the remaining digits is zero or divisible by 7.

Example: 938
93 – 2(8) = 77; 77 is divisible by 7

Divisibility By 8
- A number is divisible by 8 if the no formed by the last three digits is divisible
by 8.
Example: 67048
048 is divisible by 8.

Divisibility By 10
- A number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0.
Example: 1430

Divisibility By 11
- A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of the digits in
the odd places (starting from the rightmost digit) and the sum of the digits in
the even places is 11 or divisible by 11.
Example: 61 248

VIII. ALGEBRA

 Algebraic expressions
- Result of applying one or more of the four fundamental operations of
additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions to a collection of
constant and variables.

 Constant – 1, 2, 3
 Variables – x, y, z
 Term- each district parts of A.E with its sign
 Constant/ Variables – a factor of the term
 Co efficient – any factor of a term
o literal co-efficient
o numeral co- efficient
 Example: 30n; 30-numerical coeff., n-literal coef.

 Translating English Phrases to Algebraic Expression

English Phrases Algebraic Expression

 The sum of a and 3  a+3
 8 more than p  p+8
 6 subtracted from n  n-6
 4 less than y  Y-4
 4 less y  4-y
 The product of 9 and s  9s
 The sum of x and 3y  X +3y
 The cube of the sum of x and y  (x+y)3
 The difference of twice x and y  2x - y

SIMPLIFYING ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION

1. –3(9v-2w+6)= -37v+8w-18
2. 6x(2x2-3xy+7y2)=12x3-18x2y+42xy2

ADDITION OF POLYNOMIALS
Step 1: Arrange the polynomials in standard form
Standard form of a polynomials in just means that the term with highest
degree comes first and followed by each of the following terms.
Step 2: Arrange the like terms in columns and add the like terms.

1. Write in standard form (3y5+y4+2y3-2y+5) + (2y5+ 3y3+ 7y +2)

2. Arrange in columns of like terms and then add
3y5+y4+2y3- 2y+5
+ 2y5+ 3y3+ 7y +2
5y + y +5y3+5y+7

SUBTRACTION OF POLYNOMIALS
Step 1: Write the given polynomials
Step 2: Combine like terms and remove zero pairs
Step 3: Subtract the like terms( In subtraction the sign of the second term will
change)

Ex. (3a2- 7a+2) – (5a2 +a – 8)

3a2- 7a+2 3a2- 7a+2

-(5a2 +a – 8) +-5a2 -a + 8
2a2- 8a +10

MULTIPLICATION OF POLYNOMIALS
Step 1: Multiply each term in one polynomial by each term in the polynomial
Step 2: add those answers together, and simplify if needed.

Example:
1. (-4x3y7)(6x5y2) = -24x8y9
2. 2x ( 3x2 + 2y + 6) = 6x2 + 4xy + 12x
3. (ab) (ar +bs +cd) = a2br + ab2s + abcd

DIVISION OF POLYNOMIALS
1. 24y3
16y
= 3y2

2. -12m3p4
22m6p2
= - 6p2
11m3

Evaluation of Algebraic Expressions

Given x=2, y=(-1), z=3, find:
1. 6x-5y 2. 7z2-8y
6(2)-5(-1) 7(32)-8(-1)
12-5 7(9)-8
=7 =36

Polynomials
-an algebraic expression consisting only of non-negative integer, power of variables and with
no variable in the denominator and exponents should not be in fraction.
Ex. 1. 2x-3 2
2.

3. 2+x1/2
4.
y+6

Types according to the number of terms:

1. monomial- one term
2. binomial – two terms
3. trinomial- three terms
4. multinomial- 4 or more terms

o Degree of a term – sum of exponents

o Degree of a polynomial – highest degree

Ex. 5x2y Degree of the term : 2+1=3

Degree of the polynomial=2

 AGE, WORK AND MIXTURE

 Age Problem:

The ages of a certain person in the past, present and future in terms of x.

Present Past Future

(6 years ago) (5 years hence)
x x-6 x+5

Example: Paula is now 18 years old and Monica is 14 years old. How many years old ago
was Paula twice as old as Monica.

Past Present
Paula 18-n 18
Monica 14-n 14

Solution:
(18-n)= 2)(14-n)
18-n= 28-2n
2n-n= 28-18
n=10

Try:
Ex. Debbie is twice as old as Jerry. 4 years ago, Debbie was three times as old as Jerry then.
How old is Debbie?
4 years ago
Debbie 2x 2x-4
Jerry x x-4

2x-4=3(x-4)
2x-4=3x-12
-4+12=3x-2x
8=x (Jerry)
16=2x (Debbie)

1/5 – this is what a person finishdayed in 1

This is work

For a complete job:

rt=1 or r=
+=1

Example: Walter and Helen are asked to paint a house. Walter can paint the house by
himself in 12 hours and Helen can paint the house by her in 16 hours, it take to paint the
house if they worked together?

Solution: + =

=
T= 6.86 hours

Try:
Ex. Tom and Jerry have to staff and nail 1000 envelopes for a new marketing campaign.
Jerry can do the job alone in 6 hours. If Tom helps, they can get the job done in 4 hours.
How long did it take Tom to do the job by himself?

 Mixture Problem
Example: A chemist has 70 ml of a 50% methane solution. How much of an 80%
solution must she add so the final solution is 60% methane?
0.50 + 0.80 = 0.60

70 ml x = 70 +x

= (0.50)(70) + (0.80)(x) = 0.60(70+x)

= 35+0.80x= 42 + 0.60x
=0.80-0.60x = 42-35
= =

= x=35
