Study Notes

  • An integer is a whole positive or negative number.
  • Integers greater than 0 are positive and located to the right of 0.
  • An integer is always a whole number.
  • Absolute value is a number that coordinates with a number on the negative side of the number line.

Subtracting Integers

  • To subtract two integers, rewrite the subtraction expression as the first number plus the opposite of the second number.
  • This means changing a positive number to negative and vice versa.

GCF and LCM

  • The greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest factor of both numbers.
  • It is the product of the common prime factors between them.
  • The lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest multiple of both numbers.
  • Multiply one number by the prime factors it's missing from the other.
  • Prime factorization involves expressing a number as a product of its prime factors.
  • You keep dividing the original number by prime factors until the remainder is 1.

Multiplying Integers

  • positive * positive = positive
  • negative * positive = negative
  • negative * negative = positive
  • negative * 0 = 0
  • positive * 0 = 0

Dividing Integers

  • positive / positive = positive
  • negative / positive = negative
  • negative / negative = positive
  • negative / 0 = 0
  • positive / 0 = 0

BEDMAS

  • Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

Square Roots

  • Finding a square root means determining which number, when multiplied by itself, equals the given number.
  • For example, the square root of 81 is 9, because 9 * 9 = 81.

Fractions

  • Fractions with the same denominators are called "like fractions."
  • When denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger.
  • If numerators are the same, the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
  • Fractions with different denominators are called "unlike fractions."
  • To compare unlike fractions, rename them with a common denominator, making them like fractions.
  • To find a common denominator, check if the smaller denominator divides evenly into the larger one and If not, multiply the larger denominator by 2, 3, 4, etc., until a common denominator is found.

Adding/Subtracting Fractions:

  • Rewrite the problem with improper fractions if necessary
  • Find the Least Common Denominator
  • Rewrite the problem with Equivalent Fractions
  • Add (or Subtract) the numerators
  • Reduce the answer if possible
