2. The place values for whole numbers include units (ones),

tens, hundred, thousand, hundred, thousand, ten thousand,

millions and so on.

3. The value of a digit in a whole number depends on its place value.

2. The total is also known as the sum.

For example:-

The sum of 300 and 5 000 is 5 300.

3. The order of addition of numbers does not change sum.

4.The sum of any number and 0 is the number itself.

For example:-

(a) 12 + 0 = 12

(b) 0 + 6 = 6

5. Follow the steps below when carrying out addition.

Step 1:- Arrange the numbers according to their place values.

MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION

OF WHOLE NUMBERS
A) Multiplication
1. Multiplication is a process of repeated addition.

2.Changing the order of numbers in multiplication does

not affect the product.

For example:- 6 × 3 = 18
3 × 6 = 18

3. The product of any number and 0 is 0.

For example:- 10 × 0 = 0
0 × 10 = 0

4. A number multiplied by 1 is the number itself.

For example:- 36 × 1 = 36

1. Division is equal gathering or equal sharing.

2. When a number is divided by 0, it cannot be defined.

For example:-

8 ÷ 0 cannot be defined.

3. When a number is divided by 1, the quotient is the

number itself.

For example:-

5÷1=5

4. When 0 is divided by any number, the quotient is 0.

For example:-

0 ÷ 58 = 0

5. Changing the order of numbers in division will affect

the answer.

F) Combined Operations involving Brackets

1. For combined operations involving brackets,

work the calculation within the brackets first.

Worked Example

1. Solve each of the following.

(a) 6 x ( 6 - 2 ) ÷ ( 9 - 6 )

(b) 20 x (2 + 28 ÷ 4 ) - 95

=6x4÷6

= 24 ÷ 6

=4

(b) 20 x ( 2 + 28 ÷ 4 ) - 95

= 20 x ( 2 + 7 ) - 95

= 20 x 9 - 95

= 180 - 95

= 85

2. Brackets are also operative symbol for multiplication.
