Study Notes

Math Concepts

In mathematics, several essential concepts are used across various academic levels. These math concepts include percentages, terms identification, lowest common multiple (LCM), greatest common factor (GCF), and unit rates.

Percents

Percents represent parts of a whole out of 100 available parts. For example, if we have 5 out of 12 students who prefer pizza, it can be represented as 5/12 = 41.67%, which means that 41.67% of them prefer pizza. Percentage calculations involve addition and subtraction operations, where you may need to find the difference between two percentages. There is also the concept of percentage increase and decrease, which involve multiplying or dividing by 100 to convert the decimal to a percentage.

Terms Identification

Terms identification refers to recognizing different mathematical expressions and their relationships within an equation. This involves identifying unknown values, coefficients, constants, variables, and other components of equations. Understanding terms allows us to manipulate equations effectively.

Lowest Common Multiple (LCM)

The LCM is the smallest positive integer that is divisible without remainder by all given integers. It is commonly used in arithmetic progressions to find the sum of first n terms. To calculate the LCM, we must determine the highest power of each prime number that appears in any of those numbers. For example, the LCM of 9 and 12 is 36, because both numbers share the common factors of 2^2 and 3^1.

Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

The GCF, also known as the greatest common divisor, is the largest positive integer that divides two given numbers evenly without leaving any remainder. It is often calculated when finding equivalent fractions or simplifying complex fractions. There are three main methods to compute the GCF: using prime factorization, using the Euclidean algorithm, or using shortcut rules.

Unit Rates

A unit rate is a measure of how much of one quantity is associated with another quantity over a certain interval of time or space. It represents the value of a single unit of one quantity per unit of the other quantity. Unit rates are critical in determining the cost of goods and services, the time taken to complete tasks, and the speed of moving objects.
