Divisibility Rules
Divisibility rules are a set of general rules used to determine whether a given number is
completely divisible by another number without performing the actual division. These rules are
shortcuts to check for factors of a number.
Rules and Formulas:
●​ Divisibility by 2: A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is an even number (0, 2, 4, 6,
8).
○​ Example: 124 (ends in 4) is divisible by 2.
●​ Divisibility by 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
○​ Example: 738 (7+3+8=18, which is divisible by 3) is divisible by 3.
●​ Divisibility by 4: A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by its last two digits is
divisible by 4.
○​ Example: 1324 (24 is divisible by 4) is divisible by 4.
●​ Divisibility by 5: A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 or 5.
○​ Example: 450 (ends in 0) is divisible by 5.
●​ Divisibility by 6: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
○​ Example: 216 (even, and 2+1+6=9, divisible by 3) is divisible by 6.
●​ Divisibility by 8: A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by its last three digits is
divisible by 8.
○​ Example: 5120 (120 is divisible by 8) is divisible by 8.
●​ Divisibility by 9: A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
○​ Example: 189 (1+8+9=18, which is divisible by 9) is divisible by 9.
●​ Divisibility by 10: A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit is 0.
○​ Example: 700 (ends in 0) is divisible by 10.
●​ Divisibility by 11: A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of the
digits at odd places and the sum of the digits at even places is either 0 or a multiple of 11.
○​ Example: 121 (sum of odd place digits: 1+1=2; sum of even place digits: 2.
Difference: 2-2=0) is divisible by 11.
Example: Is the number 738 divisible by 3?
●​ Explanation: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
●​ Solution: 7 + 3 + 8 = 18. Since 18 is divisible by 3, 738 is divisible by 3.

Remainders (Modular Arithmetic)

Remainder problems involve finding the leftover value after one integer is divided by another.
Modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when
reaching a certain value—the modulus.
Rules and Formulas:
●​ Basic Remainder: For integers a and n with n > 0, a = qn + r, where 0 \le r < n. Here, r is
the remainder. This can be written as a \equiv r \pmod{n}.
●​ Properties of Modulo:
○​ (a + b) \pmod{n} = ((a \pmod{n}) + (b \pmod{n})) \pmod{n}
○​ (a - b) \pmod{n} = ((a \pmod{n}) - (b \pmod{n}) + n) \pmod{n} (add n to ensure
positive result)
○​ (a \times b) \pmod{n} = ((a \pmod{n}) \times (b \pmod{n})) \pmod{n}
○​ (a^k) \pmod{n} = ((a \pmod{n})^k) \pmod{n}
●​ Euler's Totient Theorem: If a and n are coprime positive integers, then a^{\phi(n)} \equiv
1 \pmod{n}, where \phi(n) is Euler's totient function (counts positive integers up to n that
are relatively prime to n).
●​ Fermat's Little Theorem: If p is a prime number, then for any integer a not divisible by p,
a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod{p}.
Example: What is the remainder when 50 is divided by 7?
●​ Explanation: We want to find 50 \pmod{7}.
●​ Solution: 50 = 7 \times 7 + 1. The remainder is 1.

Simplification of Series and Fractions

This topic covers questions that require simplifying complex expressions involving sums of
series, continued fractions, or comparing the values of different fractions.
Rules and Formulas:
●​ Arithmetic Series Sum: S_n = n/2 \times (a_1 + a_n), where n is the number of terms,
a_1 is the first term, and a_n is the last term.
●​ Geometric Series Sum: S_n = a(1 - r^n) / (1 - r) (for r \ne 1), where a is the first term, r is
the common ratio, and n is the number of terms.
●​ Telescoping Series: A series where intermediate terms cancel out. Often seen in the
form \sum (1/(n(n+1))) = \sum (1/n - 1/(n+1)).
○​ Example: 1/(1 \times 2) + 1/(2 \times 3) + \dots + 1/(n(n+1)) = (1 - 1/2) + (1/2 - 1/3) +
\dots + (1/n - 1/(n+1)) = 1 - 1/(n+1).
●​ Comparing Fractions: To compare fractions like a/b and c/d:
○​ Cross-multiplication: Compare ad and bc. If ad > bc, then a/b > c/d.
○​ Common Denominator: Convert fractions to a common denominator and compare
numerators.
○​ Decimal Conversion: Convert fractions to decimals and compare.
●​ Continued Fractions: These are expressions of the form a_0 + 1/(a_1 + 1/(a_2 + \dots)).
They are simplified by starting from the innermost fraction and working outwards.
Example: Simplify: 1/2 + 1/4
●​ Explanation: Find a common denominator and add the fractions.
●​ Solution: 1/2 + 1/4 = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4.

Properties of Numbers (Prime, Composite,

Sum/Product, Unit Digit)
This category includes questions about the fundamental characteristics of numbers, such as
identifying prime or composite numbers, finding the sum or product of a sequence of numbers,
determining the number of divisors, or finding the unit digit of large powers.
Rules and Formulas:
●​ Prime Number: A natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1
and itself.
○​ Examples: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, ...
●​ Composite Number: A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number (i.e., it
has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself).
○​ Examples: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, ...
●​ Sum of First 'n' Natural Numbers: S_n = n(n+1)/2
●​ Sum of First 'n' Odd Numbers: S_n = n^2
●​ Sum of First 'n' Even Numbers: S_n = n(n+1)
●​ Number of Divisors (Factors): If a number N = p_1^{a_1} \times p_2^{a_2} \times \dots
\times p_k^{a_k} (where p_i are distinct prime factors), then the number of divisors is
(a_1+1)(a_2+1)\dots(a_k+1).
●​ Finding Unit Digit of Powers: The unit digits of powers of a number follow a cycle.
Identify the cycle length and use the exponent modulo the cycle length to find the unit
digit.
○​ Example: Unit digit of 2^n cycles as 2, 4, 8, 6 (length 4).
○​ Example: Unit digit of 3^n cycles as 3, 9, 7, 1 (length 4).
○​ Example: Unit digit of 7^n cycles as 7, 9, 3, 1 (length 4).
○​ Example: Unit digit of 0, 1, 5, 6 always remains the same.
Example: What is the unit digit of 7^{10}?
●​ Explanation: The unit digits of powers of 7 follow a pattern: 7, 9, 3, 1, 7, 9, 3, 1... The
pattern length is 4.
●​ Solution: Divide the exponent (10) by 4: 10 \div 4 = 2 remainder 2. The second digit in
the pattern (7, 9, 3, 1) is 9. So, the unit digit of 7^{10} is 9.

Digit Problems
Digit problems involve questions where numbers are defined or manipulated based on their
individual digits. These often require setting up equations to solve for the unknown digits or
numbers.
Rules and Formulas:
 ●​ Two-Digit Number Representation: A two-digit number with tens digit 'a' and units digit
'b' can be represented as 10a + b.
●​ Reversed Two-Digit Number: If the digits of 10a + b are reversed, the new number is
10b + a.
●​ Three-Digit Number Representation: A three-digit number with hundreds digit 'a', tens
digit 'b', and units digit 'c' can be represented as 100a + 10b + c.
●​ Reversed Three-Digit Number: If the digits of 100a + 10b + c are reversed, the new
number is 100c + 10b + a.
●​ Sum/Difference of a Number and its Reversed Digits:
○​ For a two-digit number 10a + b:
■​ (10a + b) + (10b + a) = 11a + 11b = 11(a+b)
■​ (10a + b) - (10b + a) = 9a - 9b = 9(a-b) (assuming a > b)
Example: A two-digit number is such that the sum of its digits is 7. If the digits are reversed, the
new number is 9 more than the original number. Find the original number.
●​ Explanation: Let the two-digit number be 10t + u, where t is the tens digit and u is the
units digit.
○​ From the first condition: t + u = 7
○​ From the second condition: 10u + t = (10t + u) + 9
●​ Solution:
○​ Simplify the second equation: 10u + t = 10t + u + 9 \implies 9u - 9t = 9 \implies u - t
= 1.
○​ Now we have a system of two linear equations:
1.​ t + u = 7
2.​ u - t = 1
○​ Adding the two equations: (t + u) + (u - t) = 7 + 1 \implies 2u = 8 \implies u = 4.
○​ Substitute u=4 into t+u=7: t + 4 = 7 \implies t = 3.
○​ The number is 10t + u = 10(3) + 4 = 34.

Square Roots and Cube Roots (Simplification)

These questions involve direct calculations or simplifications of expressions containing square
roots and cube roots. They often test your knowledge of perfect squares/cubes or basic radical
properties.
Rules and Formulas:
●​ Square Root: For a non-negative number x, the square root of x, denoted as sqrt(x), is a
non-negative number y such that y^2 = x.
○​ Property: sqrt(a \times b) = sqrt(a) \times sqrt(b)
○​ Property: sqrt(a / b) = sqrt(a) / sqrt(b)
●​ Cube Root: For any real number x, the cube root of x, denoted as cbrt(x) or x^{1/3}, is a
number y such that y^3 = x.
●​ Factorials: The factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted by n!, is the product of all
positive integers less than or equal to n.
○​ n! = n \times (n-1) \times (n-2) \times \dots \times 1
○​ The number of zeros at the end of a factorial n! is determined by the number of
times 10 is a factor in its prime factorization. Since 10 = 2 \times 5, we count the
number of factors of 5 (as there will always be more factors of 2).
 ○​ Formula for trailing zeros in n!: \lfloor n/5 \rfloor + \lfloor n/25 \rfloor + \lfloor n/125
\rfloor + \dots (continue until the denominator is greater than n).
Example: Simplify: sqrt(144) + cbrt(27)
●​ Explanation: Calculate the square root of 144 and the cube root of 27, then add the
results.
●​ Solution: sqrt(144) = 12, cbrt(27) = 3. So, 12 + 3 = 15.
