Operations on Integers

Operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of signed integers.
Target skills: perform operations on integers, apply rules in word problems, define prime, composite, factors, and multiples, list prime factors, and find GCF and LCM.

Rules on Signed Numbers: Addition

Same Sign:
- Add the absolute values, keep the sign (e.g., 8 + 14 = 22; -5 + -5 = -10).
Unlike Sign:
- Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger, keep the sign of the larger number (e.g., 54 + -12 = 42; -40 + 5 = -35).

Rules on Signed Numbers: Subtraction

To subtract, change the sign of the subtrahend and follow addition rules (e.g., 56 - 23 becomes 56 + -23).

Rules on Signed Numbers: Multiplication

Same Sign: Product is positive (e.g., -5 * -5 = 25).
Unlike Sign: Product is negative (e.g., 8 * -3 = -24).

Rules on Signed Numbers: Division

Similar to multiplication, the signs determine the result:
- Same Sign: Result is positive (e.g., -12 ÷ -12 = 1).
- Unlike Sign: Result is negative (e.g., 81 ÷ -3 = -27).

Prime and Composite Numbers

Prime Numbers:
- Natural numbers with exactly two positive factors: 1 and itself (e.g., 2, 3, 5).
Composite Numbers:
- Natural numbers greater than 1 with more than two factors (e.g., 35, factors are 1, 5, 7, 35).
Note: 1 is neither prime nor composite, while 2 is the smallest prime number.

Prime Factorization

The unique representation of a number as a product of prime numbers.
All integers greater than 1 can be expressed as products of prime factors (Theorem).
To find it:
- Divide by the smallest prime (2), then subsequently by larger primes (3, 5, etc.) until reaching 1.

Recall Points for Operations

For addition and subtraction, apply the rules depending on the signs. For multiplication and division, ensure to account for the signs properly to determine the result.

This quiz covers essential operations on integers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. You'll also explore prime and composite numbers, prime factorization, and methods to determine the GCF and LCM. Get ready to apply these concepts in various problems and deepen your understanding of integer operations.
