 Multiples
Multiples are what you get when you multiply a
number by each of the counting numbers.

Eg: The multiples of 2 are:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12….etc

The multiples of 5 are:

5, 10, 15, 20, 25… etc

You try:
What are the first 5 multiples of 4?

What are the first 5 multiples of 7?

 Common Multiples
Quite often numbers share multiples:
These are the multiples of 2:
(2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, …)
These are the multiples of 5:
(5, 10, 15, 20, 25, …)

As you can see, 10 and 20 are multiples of both

2 and 5. We call them common multiples.

The Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) is the

smallest multiple that two numbers have in
common. In this case, the LCM of 2 and 5 is
10.
 Factors
Factors: Are natural (counting) numbers that divide exactly
into a given number.

Eg: The factors of 18 The factors of 27

18 18 18 27 27

2 9 3 6 1 18 1 27 3 9
You try:
What are the factors of 6?
What are the factors of 14?
What are the factors of 24?
 Common Factors
Numbers can share factors.
These are the factors of 18:
{1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18}
These are the factors of 27:
{1, 3, 9, 27}
The numbers in BOTH lists are the common factors
of 18 and 27.
Those are {1, 3, 9}
The HIGHEST common factor(HCF) is the largest
common factor. In this case, the Highest Common
Factor of 18 and 27 is 9.
You try:
What are the common factors of 12 and 15?
What are the common factors of 18 and 6?

 Primes
Prime Numbers: have exactly TWO factors – the number itself and 1.
Note that ‘1’ is not a prime number – it only has one factor (1).

Numbers that have more than 2 factors are called composite numbers.

You try:
Which of these are prime numbers, and which are composite
numbers?

 Prime Factors
Prime Factors: The factors of a number which are all primes.

Any non-prime (composite) number can be broken down into prime factors.

 Integers
Integers: Are all the whole numbers and their
negative opposites.

Eg: 4, 9, 254, 0, -3, -57 and -8209 are all integers.

Number lines are great ways to think of integers.

Rules for adding/subtracting integers:

1. Same sign add, different sign subtract
2. Same signs, keep the sign. Different, keep the larger
Notes: No signs means ‘+’ sign.
 Adding Integers
Add a positive – move right (towards the positives)
Add a negative – move left (towards the negatives)

 Significant figures/digits
Significant figures are the number of digits that are used to
represent it accurately.

Why use and learn significant figures?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daa1Q5nWg2k
 4 Rules of Significant figures
1. Count ALL non-zeros
2. Count zeros that occur between non-zeros
3. Leading zeros are NOT significant
4. Trailing Zeros
a: If there is a decimal-----COUNT them
b: if there is no decimal------ DO NOT COUNT them

Examples: find out how many significant figures do they have

a. 135 b. 308 c. 0.00930 d. 23,000

e. 1.0040 f. 90

How many significant figures in these?
a) 563.4 4 sig figs
b) 047 2 sig figs
c) 9600 2 sig figs
d) 502 3 sig figs
e) 77.0 3 sig figs
f) 0.00419 3 sig figs
g) 0.00302 3 sig figs
h) 0.0200 3 sig figs
 Rounding: Significant Figures
When we round to a certain number of significant figures
we do a similar thing to rounding decimals, by looking at the
next digit.

Eg: Round 1953 to 1 significant figure (1 sf)

= 2000 (1 sf) (not 1000, as the next digit is 5 or more)

Eg: Round 7.8 to 1 significant figure (1 sf)

= 8 (1 sf)

Eg: Round 8273.34 to 3 significant figures (3 sf)

= 8270 (3 sf)

re
…etc

When we multiply a number by a power of 10, we shift the

decimal point to the right the same number of places as
there are 0’s.
4.892 × 10 = 48.92 1 zero, move decimal point across 1
4.892 x 100 = 489.2 2 zeros, move decimal point across
2
4.892 x 1000 = 4892 3 zeros, move decimal point across 3
4.892 x 10000 = 48920 4 zeros, move decimal point across 4
 Standard Form
Standard Form is a scientific way of writing numbers.

Write as:
A number between 1 and 10 × Power of 10
Ordinary form Standard form

618.7 6.187 × 102

280,000,000,000,000 2.8 × 1014

The first part gives us the significant figures

The second part tells us how large (or small) it is.

 Writing numbers in Standard Form
First: Put the decimal point after the first non-zero digit

Eg: For 256000 you would write 2.56

Eg: For 0.0074 you would write 7.4

Then: Work out how many places the decimal point must move to get to its
original position. Use this as the power of 10. Moving right means a
positive power, left means a negative power.

Eg: 2.56000 would be 5 places right, so 2.56 x 105

Eg: 0.0074 would be 3 places left so 7.4 x 10-3

Try writing these in Standard Form:
a)3180200
b)0.00708
 Writing numbers in Ordinary Form
Just do the opposite:

Eg For 8.01 x 104 move the decimal point right four places and add
placeholder zeros where required:
= 80100

Eg For 1.923 x 10-2 move the decimal point left two places and add
placeholder zeros where required:
= 0.01923

Try writing these in Ordinary Form:

a) 2.27 x 106
b) 3.087 x 10-4
c) -1.1409 x 10-6
