In Class 10 Maths, the chapter on Real Numbers is fundamental. Real numbers include all the numbers you can think of, like whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
Euclid’s Division Lemma: It states that for any two positive integers a and b, there exist whole numbers q and r such that a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r < b. This helps in finding the highest common factor (HCF) of two numbers.
Prime Numbers: These are numbers greater than 1 with no divisors other than 1 and themselves. For example, 2, 3, 5, and 7 are prime numbers.
Composite Numbers: These numbers have more than two divisors. For example, 4, 6, and 8 are composite numbers.
Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: Every composite number can be expressed (factorized) as a product of prime numbers, and this factorization is unique, apart from the order of the factors.
Irrational Numbers: These cannot be expressed as a simple fraction. Their decimal form is non-terminating and non-repeating. For example, √2 and π are irrational numbers.
Rational Numbers: These can be expressed as a fraction, where both the numerator and denominator are integers, and the denominator is not zero.
Understanding real numbers helps in solving problems related to HCF, LCM, and different properties of numbers, forming a foundation for higher mathematical concepts.
