All prime numbers greater than 3 can be expressed in the form 6n-1 or 6n+1 i.e. all
prime numbers, which are greater than 3-leave remainder 1 or 5 when divided by 6.
Key Observations:
From 1 9, the digit 3 is used 1 time
From 1 99, the digit 3 is used 20 times.
From 1 999, the digit 3 is used 300 times
From 1 9999, the digit 3 is used 4000 times and so on
Note: Above is true for any digit except 0.
Number of digits between two numbers:
Number of single digit natural numbers (i.e. from 1 9) = 9
Number of two digit natural numbers (i.e. from 10 99) = 90
Number of three digit natural number (i.e. from 100 999) = 900 etc.
Magic of Numbers
Magical 1
3 x 37 = 111
33 x 3367 = 111,111
333 x 333667 = 111,111,111
3333 x 33336667= 111,111,111,111
33333 x 3333366667= 111,111,111,111,111
333333 x 333333666667 = 111,111,111,111,111,111
Consider the L.H.S of the above numbers. The number of 3s in both the numbers are same and 6
is one less than the number of 3 and there is only one 7. Then in the final product, N would
appear three times the number of threes in the first number on the LHS.
6 when multiplied with 7 give 4 and 2
6 x 7 = 42
66 x67 = 4422
666 x 667 = 444222
6666 x 6667 = 44442222
For multiplication such as the above:
The number of digits in both the numbers is same, the 2nd number has one 6 less than the number
of 6s the 1st number has .
The number of 4s and 2s is equal to the number of 6s in the 1st number
Cyclic numbers
142857 is called as the cyclic number, since its digits are rotated around when multiplied by any
number from 1 to 6
142857 x 1 = 142857
142857 x 5= 714285
142857 x 4= 571428
142857 x 6 = 857142
142857 x 2= 285714
142867 x 3 = 428571
The same method helps us calculating fractions involving 7 in denominator
Fractions
The concept of fractions, though a simple one, can be often confused. Having not solved
questions based on this simple concept, students often tend to confuse the problems. These
questions can throw up the occasional challenge and it makes sense to practice these questions
from this area.
Definition: Technically, fraction is defined as part of the whole. The most common example of a
fraction that comes to mind is half. When we say give me half of something, we are essentially
demanding part of it, in other words, is the fractional representation for half.
Fractions are nothing else than the numerator divided by denominator, that is they occur in the
form X/Y where X is the numerator and Y is the non-zero denominator.
Remember:
The numerator represents how many parts of that whole are being considered.To remember
simply, numerator is the top number of the fraction that represents the numbers of parts that are
to be chosen.
The denominator represents the total number of parts created from the whole, in other words it is
the bottom number representing the total number of parts created.
Example of Fractions :,2/3,3/4, and the numbers which are in the form of x/y where y is non
zero.
Types of Fractions:
Proper Fraction: When Numerator < Denominator, then the fraction is called as proper
fraction..For example:2/3, 4/5, 6/7 etc
Improper fraction:When Numerator >Denominator,then the fraction is called as improper
fraction. For example: 5/3, 7/5, 19/7 etc
Mixed fraction: When a natural number combines with a fraction that is called a mixed fraction.
For Example: 21/2 ,34/5 etc
Tooltip: Properties of fractions
Property 1:If we multiply the numerator and denominator by same quantity, the basic value of
fraction will never change.
For example:4/5 x 5/5 = 20/25 = 4/5
Property 2:If there are two fractions a/b and c/d then a/b=c/d when ad=bc.
For example 3/4 = 12/16 because 3 x 16 = 4 x 12
Property 3:A fraction with zero as the denominator is not defined.
Property 4:If the numerator of the fraction is zero, then the fraction equals zero.
Property 5:If the numerator and denominator of the fraction are equal, then the fraction is equal
to one.
