NUMBER SYSTEM:Number Systems forms the base for quant ability and clearing of concepts is important for CAT and other related exams. Following table gives a brief introduction to system of numbers.

Prime Number :Prime Number Starting from the basic knowledge, a prime number is a natural number which has only two distinct divisors: 1 and itself.

******The number 1 is not a prime number.

There are 25 prime numbers under 100: 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.

Prime Factorization Theorem: This is the area where prime numbers are used. This theorem states that any integer greater than 1 can be written as a unique product of prime numbers.

Examples:

Thus, prime numbers are the basic building blocks of any positive integer. This factorization will also help in finding GCD and LCM quickly.

Perfect Numbers:A number is a perfect number if the sum of its factors, excluding itself and but including 1, is equal to the number itself.

Example: 6 (1 + 2 + 3 = 6), 28 (1 + 2 + 4 + 7 +14 = 28)

Co-Prime Numbers:Two numbers are co-prime to each other, if they do not have any common factor except 1.

Example: 25 and 9, since they don’t have a common factor other than 1

Points to RememberThe number 1 is neither prime nor composite.

• The number 2 is the only even number which is prime.
• (xⁿ + yⁿ) is divisible by (x + y), when n is an odd number.  
• (xⁿ – yⁿ) is divisible by (x + y), when n is an even number.  
• (xⁿ – yⁿ) is divisible by (x – y), when n is an odd or an even number.

Factors of a Number:Representing a number as prime factors helps in analyzing problems.

Where p, q, r are prime numbers and a, b, c are the number of times each prime number occurs.

Number of Factors = (a + 1)(b + 1)(c + 1)

Sum of Factors =

Concept of Cyclicity :Concept of cyclicity is used to find unit's digit in case the numbers are occuring in powers.

Cyclicity of 1, 5, 6 - 1

Cyclicity of 4, 9 - 2

Cyclicity of 2, 3, 7, 8 - 4
