Rational Number: A number that can be expressed in the form p/q where p and q are integers (q> 0).

For example: 4/5, 2/3, etc.

Irrational Number: A number that  cannot be expressed in the form p/q where p and q are integers (q> 0).

For Example: √2, √3, etc.

Real Numbers: Rational numbers and irrational numbers taken together form the set of real numbers. The set of real numbers is denoted by R.

Euclid’s division lemma: Given positive integers a and b, there exist whole numbers q and r satisfying a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b.

Euclid’s division algorithm: It is the process of applying Euclid’s Division Lemma in succession several times to obtain the HCF of any two numbers.

According to this, the HCF of any two positive integers a and b, with a > b, is obtained as follows:

Step 1: Apply the division lemma to find q and r where a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b.

Step 2: If r = 0, the HCF is b. If r ≠ 0, apply Euclid’s lemma to b and r.

Step 3: Continue the process till the remainder is zero. The divisor at this stage will be HCF (a, b). Also, HCF(a, b) = HCF(b, r).

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of primes, and this factorisation is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.
