Number Theory
• Divides: b divides a if there is a whole number
q such that a = qb.
• Factor: b will be a factor of a.
• Divisor: b is also a divisor of a.
• Multiple: a is a multiple of b.
Multiples
• Multiples of 2
2x0, 2x1, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4,………
0, 2, 4, 6, 8,……
Multiples of 3
3x0, 3x1, 3x2, 3x3,…..
0, 3, 6, 9,……..
Divisors or Factors
• Divisors or Factors of 6:
We need to find whole numbers b & q such that
6 = bq
• Using arrays:
1x 6, 2x3
• Rainbow method:
1,2,3,6
Prime & Composite
• Prime: a natural number that has exactly 2
different factors, namely 1 and itself is prime.
• Composite: a natural number that has more
than 2 different factors is composite.
• One is called a unit and is neither Prime nor
Composite

Test for divisibility
A number N is divisible by
• 2 if the last digit is an even digit(0,2,4,6,8).
• 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
• 5 if the last digit is a 0 or 5.
• 6 if it is divisible by 2 & 3.
• 9if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.
• 10 if the last digit is 0.

Divisiblity by 11
• If the difference between the sums of every
other digit is divisible by 11 then the number
is divisible by 11.

Greatest Common Factor (Divisor)
The Greatest Common Factor of two numbers
m & n will be the number d the divides both
m & n at the same time.
GCF(m,n) = d
GCF(18,45)= ?
18 = {1,2,3,6,9,18}
45 = {1,3,5,9,15,45}
F18  F45 ={1,3,9}

Least Common Multiple
Least Common Multiple: the smallest common
multiple of both m and n is called their Least
common Multiple, LCM(m,n)
LCM(9,15)=
M9 = {9,18,27,36,45,54,63,72, 81,90,...}
M15 = {15,30,45,60,75,90,105,…}
M9  M15 = { 45,90,…}
LCM(9,15) = 45
