Numbers, Operations, Fractions & Geometry
1. Large Numbers (Indian System)
Place Values
Ones. Tens. Hundreds. Thousands. Ten Thousands. LAKHS (1,00,000). Ten Lakhs. CRORES (1,00,00,000). Ten Crores.
Example: 4,56,78,900 = Four crore fifty-six lakh seventy-eight thousand nine hundred.
Roman Numerals
I(1), V(5), X(10), L(50), C(100), D(500), M(1000). Rules: If smaller BEFORE larger → SUBTRACT. If smaller AFTER larger → ADD. IX=9. XI=11.
2. The Four Operations (+, —, ×, ÷)
Addition and Subtraction (Large Numbers)
Align by place value. Add/subtract column by column. Carry/borrow as needed.
Multiplication
3-digit × 2-digit. 3-digit × 3-digit. 'Multiply each digit. Shift for tens/hundreds. Add the partial products.'
Division
Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient + Remainder. Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder. 'Division is the reverse of multiplication.'
3. Factors and Multiples
Divisibility Tests
| By | Rule |
|---|---|
| 2 | Last digit even |
| 3 | Sum of digits ÷ 3 |
| 5 | Last digit 0 or 5 |
| 9 | Sum of digits ÷ 9 |
| 10 | Last digit 0 |
HCF (Highest Common Factor) — Prime Factorisation or Long Division
LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) — Prime Factorisation. LCM × HCF = Product of the two numbers.
4. Fractions
Types: Proper (<1). Improper (≥1). Mixed (whole + proper).
Operations
- Add/Subtract: Find LCM of denominators. Convert. Add/subtract numerators.
- Multiply: (a/b) × (c/d) = (a×c)/(b×d). 'Multiply tops. Multiply bottoms.'
- Divide: (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = (a/b) × (d/c). 'Flip the second. Then multiply.'
Simplifying: Divide numerator and denominator by their HCF.
5. Decimals
Place Value: Tenths (0.1). Hundredths (0.01). Thousandths (0.001).
Operations
- Add/Subtract: Align decimal points.
- Multiply: Multiply normally. Count decimal places. Place the point.
- Divide: Move decimal to make divisor a whole number.
Conversion: Fraction ↔ Decimal. Divide numerator by denominator.
6. Geometry
Angles
| Type | Measure |
|---|---|
| Acute | < 90° |
| Right | = 90° |
| Obtuse | 90° to 180° |
| Straight | = 180° |
Triangles
| By Sides | By Angles |
|---|---|
| Equilateral (3 equal) | Acute (all < 90°) |
| Isosceles (2 equal) | Right (one = 90°) |
| Scalene (all different) | Obtuse (one > 90°) |
Circle
- Radius (from centre to edge). Diameter (2 × radius — through centre). Chord (joins two points). Circumference = 2πr.
Perimeter and Area
- Square: P=4s. A=s². Rectangle: P=2(l+w). A=l×w.
