2 Isit possible to find the highest common multiple of two or more numbers?
Give a reason for your answer.
Factors
A factor is a number that divides exactly into another number with no remainder. For example,
2 isa factor of 16 because it goes into 16 exactly 8 times. 1 isa factor of every number, The
largest factor of any number is the number itself.

6 Super-prime numbers are prime numbers that stay prime each time you remove a digit
(starting with the units) So, 59 is a super-prime because when you remove 9 you are let with 5,
which is also prime. 239 is also a super-prime because when you remove 9 you are left with 23,
which is prime, and when you remove 3 you are left with 2 which is prime.

Other powers and roots
You've seen that square numbers are all raised to the power of 2 (5 squared = 5 x5=5") and that
cube numbers are all raised to the power of 3 (5 cubed = 5 x 5x 5 = 5), You can raise a number
to any power. For example, 5x 5 x5 x 5 = 5%. This is read as 5 to the power of 4. The same
principle applies to finding roots of numbers.

‘When you use numbers to represent real-life situations like temperatures, altitude, depth below
sea level, profit or loss and directions (on a grid) you sometimes need to use the negative sign to

1.6 Order of operations
AL this level of mathematics you are expected to do more complicated calculations involving
more than one operation (+ -, x and +). When you are carrying out more complicated
calculations you have to follow a sequence of rules so that there is no confusion about what
‘operations you should do first. The rules governing the order of operations are:
‘© complete operations in grouping symbols first
‘© do division and multiplication next, working from left to right
‘¢ do addition and subtractions last, working from left to right.
Many people use the leters BODMAS to remember the order of operations. The letters stand for:
Brackets
Or (Sometimes, for ‘indices’ is used instead of ‘0’ for ‘of”)
Divide Multiply
Add Subtract
BODMAS indicates that indices (powers) are considered after brackets but before all other
operations.
Grouping symbols
‘The most common grouping symbols in mathematics are brackets, Here are some examples of
the different kinds of brackets used in mathematics:
(4+9)x(10+2)
[2(4+9)—4@)—12]
(2- (42-7) -46+8)]-2x8}
‘When you have more than one set of brackets in a calculation, you work out the innermost st first
Other symbols used to group operations are:

1.7 Rounding numbers
In many calculations, particularly with decimals, you will not need to find an exact answer.
Instead, you will be asked to give an answer toa stated level of accuracy. For example, you may be
asked to give an answer correct to 2 decimal places, or an answer correct to 3 significant figures.
To round a number to a given decimal place you look atthe value of the digit to the right of the
specified place. IFit is 5 or greater, you round up; iit less than 5, you round down.

© 64839906 9s in the third decimal place.
| 64839906 ‘The next digit is 9, so you need to round up.
When you round 9 up, you get 10, so carry one to the previous digit and write 0 in
the place of the 9.
= 64.840 (3dp) Correct to 3 decimal places.a a eee
‘To round to 3 significant figures, find the third significant digit and look atthe value of the
digit to the right of it. Ifit is 5 or greater, add one to the third significant digit and lose all of
the other digits to the right. If itis less than 5, leave the third significant digit unchanged and
lose all the other digits to the right as before. To round to a different number of significant
figures, use the same method but find the appropriate significant digit to start with; the
fourth for dsf, the seventh for 7sfetc. If you are rounding to a whole number, write
the appropriate number of zeros afer the last significant digit as place holders to keep
the number the same size.
