GMAT Math Formulas List

View as PDF To achieve a good score on the math section, it is essential that you memorize the necessary GMAT math formulas. Below, you will find a free review sheet full of formulas that are used frequently on the quantitative section.

Algebra Formulas
Exponential Equations
xn*xm = xn + m (xn)/(xm) = x n - m (x/y)n = (xn)/(yn) xn*yn = (xy)n (xy)z = xyz x-n = 1/(xn) 1n = 1 x0 = 1 0n = 0, except 00 = 1 or undefined FV = CV(1 + g)T Examples

Other
Distance = Rate*Time Wage = Rate*Time

Arithmetic Formulas
Combinatorics
Combinations:nCk = n!/((n-k)k!)! Permutations:nPk = n!/(n-k)! Circular: (n-1)! k = number of objects selected from a pile of n objects n = total number of objects from which k objects can be selected

Fractions
(a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b) * (d/c)

Percents
Percent Change, as a decimal = (New - Old)/Old N = (1 + G)O; N = New Value, 0 = Old Value, G = Growth Rate as decimal

Number Properties
(Odd)(Even) = Even (Odd)(Odd) = Odd (Even)(Even) = Even (Odd) (Even) = Odd (Odd) (Odd) = Even (Even) (Even) = Even (Positive)(Positive) = Positive (Positive)(Negative) = Negative (Negative)(Negative) = Positive (Positive)/(Negative) = Negative (Positive)/(Positive) = Positive (Negative)/(Negative) = Positive

Statistics
Average (Arithmetic Mean): (sum of all numbers)/(number of numbers)

Geometry Formulas
Angles
Sum of Interior Angles of Polygon = (n-2)(180) n = number of sides of a polygon Central Angle = 2(Inscribed Angle)

Area
Square: A = a2 Rectangle: A = lw Parallelogram: A = bh Trapezoid: A = .5(a+c)h, where a and c are the lengths of the parallel sides

Circles

= pi = 3.1415 Area: A = r2
Circumference: C = 2r Central Angle = 2(Inscribed Angle) Area of Sector = (x/360)r2

Perimeter
Square: P = 4l Rectangle: P = 2w + 2l Parallelogram: P = 2b + 2a, where a and b are the lengths of the non-

parallel sides Circle: P = 2r

Triangles
Area: A = .5bh Pythagorean Theorem: A2 + B2 = C2 where A = one leg, B = the other leg, C = hypotenuse

Volume
Cube: V = a3 where a is the length of a side Rectangular Solid: V = hwl Cylinder: V = r2h
