CHAPTER 1 – REAL NUMBERS

Class 10 09/03/’24

• Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic


Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of it primes,
and this factorisation is unique.
• HCF = Product of the smallest powers of each common prime factor.
• LCM = Product of the greatest power of each prime factor.
• HCF (a, b) × LCM (a, b) = a × b

1. HCF and LCM of two numbers is 9 and 459 respectively. If one of the numbers is 27,
find the other number. (153)
2. Find LCM of numbers whose prime factorisation are expressible as 3 × 5 and 32 × 72.

(11025)
3. Find LCM of 𝑚 and 𝑛, if 𝑚 = 𝑎𝑏 and 𝑛 = 𝑎 𝑏. Also find their HCF.

(𝑎𝑏)
4. Find the largest number which divides 70 and 125 leaving remainder 5 and 8
respectively. (13)
5. Find the LCM of 96 and 360 by using fundamental theorem of arithmetic. (1440)
6. If the HCF of 408 and 1032 is expressible in the form 1032 × 2 + 408 × p, then find the
value of p. (-5)
7. Can two numbers have 15 as their HCF and 175 as their LCM? Give reasons.
(LCM should always be a multiple of HCF. Here 175 is not a multiple of 15, ∴ 𝑁𝑂).
8. Find the least positive integer which on being diminished by 5 is exactly divisible by
36 and 54. (LCM + 5, 113)

• Revisiting Irrational Numbers


Theorem: Let 𝒑 be a prime number. If 𝒑 divides 𝒂𝟐 , then 𝒑 divides 𝒂, where 𝒂 is a
positive integer

9. Prove that √2 is irrational.


10. Prove that 3√2 is irrational.
11. Prove that 5 + √2 is irrational.
12. Prove that √2 is irrational and hence show that 3 + 5√2 is irrational.
13. Prove that √2 + √3 is irrational. ***

14. Prove that 5 + 3 is irrational.

15. Explain why (7 × 5 × 3 + 7) is a composite number?


16. Explain why (17 × 5 × 11 × 3 × 2 + 2 × 11) is a composite number?
17. Check whether 4𝑛 can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n. (11𝑛 , 7𝑛 …...)

• Decimal Representation of Rational Numbers – If the denominator is expressible


in the form 2𝑚 × 5𝑛 , where m and n are whole numbers then TERMINATING
otherwise NON-TERMINATING, RECURRING.
• Decimal Representation of Irrational Numbers - NON-TERMINATING, NON-
RECURRING.
