What are integers?

Integers are whole numbers, including positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero.

Adding two negative numbers

Adding two negative numbers results in a more negative sum. For example: -3 + (-4) = -7

Adding a negative and a positive number

Adding a negative and a positive number involves subtracting the smaller absolute value from the larger and keeping the sign of the larger number. For example: -5 + 3 = -2.

Multiplying two negative numbers

Multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number. For example: -5 x -2 = 10

Study Notes

Negative Numbers

  • Integers include positive whole numbers, zero, and their negative counterparts.
  • Negative numbers are less than zero.
  • Adding two negative numbers results in a more negative number. Example: -3 + (-4) = -7
  • Adding a positive and a negative number involves subtracting the smaller absolute value from the larger, and using the sign of the larger number. Example: 5 + (-8) = -3.
  • Multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number. Example: -2 x -3 = 6
  • Multiplying a negative and a positive number results in a negative number. Example: -2 x 3 = -6

Squares and Cubes

  • Squaring a number means multiplying it by itself. Example: 3² = 3 x 3 = 9
  • Cubing a number means multiplying it by itself three times. Example: 2³ = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

LCM, HCF, and Primes

  • Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) is the smallest multiple shared by two numbers. Example: LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.
  • Highest Common Factor (HCF) is the largest factor shared by two or more numbers. Example: HCF of 12 and 18 is 6.
  • Prime numbers have only two factors: 1 and the number itself. Examples of prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.
  • Composite numbers have more than two factors. Examples of composite numbers: 4, 6

Order of Operations (BIDMAS/PEMDAS)

  • Brackets/parentheses: Solve expressions inside the brackets first.
  • Indices/Exponents: Calculate the exponents next.
  • Division/Multiplication: Perform multiplication and division from left to right.
  • Addition/Subtraction: Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.
  • Example: 3 + 2 x (4² - 2) = 3 + 2 x (16 - 2) = 3 + 2 x 14 = 3 + 28 = 31
