IMPORTANT FACTS AND FORMULAE
1.Natural Numbers : Counting numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,..... are called natural numbers.
2.Whole Numbers : All counting numbers together with zero form the set of wholenumbers. Thus,
(i) 0 is the only whole number which is not a natural number.
(ii) Every natural number is a whole number.
3.Even Numbers : A number divisible by 2 is called an even number, e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.
4. Odd Numbers : A number not divisible by 2 is called an odd number. e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc.
5. Prime Numbers : A number greater than 1 is called a prime number, if it has exactly two factors, namely 1 and the number itself.
Prime numbers upto 100 are : 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43,47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.
7.Composite Numbers : Numbers greater than 1 which are not prime, are known as composite numbers, e.g., 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12.
8. Co-primes : Two numbers a and b are said to be co-primes, if their H.C.F. is 1. e.g., (2, 3), (4, 5), (7, 9), (8, 11), etc. are co-primes.

Progression
Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) : If
each term of a progression differs from its preceding term by a
constant, then such a progression is called an arithmetical progression.
This constant difference is called the common difference of the A.P.
An A.P. with first term a and common difference d is given by a, (a + d), (a + 2d),(a + 3d),.....
The nth term of this A.P. is given by Tn =a (n - 1) d.
The sum of n terms of this A.P.Sn = n/2 [2a + (n - 1) d] = n/2 (first term + last term).
Geometrical Progression (G.P.) : A progression of numbers in which every term bears a constant ratio with its preceding term, is called a geometrical progression.The constant ratio is called the common ratio of the G.P. A G.P. with first term a and common ratio r is :
a, ar, ar2,
In this G.P. Tn = ar^n-1
sum of the n terms, Sn= a(1-r^n)/ (1-r)
An A.P. with first term a and common difference d is given by a, (a + d), (a + 2d),(a + 3d),.....
The nth term of this A.P. is given by Tn =a (n - 1) d.
The sum of n terms of this A.P.Sn = n/2 [2a + (n - 1) d] = n/2 (first term + last term).
Geometrical Progression (G.P.) : A progression of numbers in which every term bears a constant ratio with its preceding term, is called a geometrical progression.The constant ratio is called the common ratio of the G.P. A G.P. with first term a and common ratio r is :
