Prime Factorization (Definition and Examples) A process of breaking down a Composite Number into the product of its Prime Factors

Prime Factorization of 12

12 12

/ \ / \

6 x 2 4 x 3

/ \ \ / \ \

3 x 2 x 2 2 x 2 x 3

The bottom line of Prime Factorization contains only Prime Numbers multiplied by one another

The order of the Prime Numbers does not matter

The order of the Prime Numbers will depend on the Factors initially chosen

Regardless of the Factors initially chosen, the same number of Prime Numbers will also result in the Prime Factorization (bottom) line

o The Prime Factorization of 12 will always result in the product of two 2’s and one 3

15

Section 8.2 Prime Numbers and Composite Numbers (continued)

Equivalent Products Equivalent Products results from multiplying combinations of factors of a number

Equivalent Products of 72

1 x 72

2 x 36 (which is the double of 1 and half of 72)

3 x 24 (which is the triple of 1 and one third of 72)

4 x 18 (which is quadruple of 1 and one fourth of 72)

6 x 12 (which is six times 1 and one sixth of 72)

8 x 9 (which is eight times 1 and one eighth of 72)

9 x 8 (which is nine times 1 and one ninth of 72)

12 x 6 (which is twelve times 1 and one twelfth of 72)

18 x 6 (which is eighteen times 1 and one eighteenth of 72)

24 x 3 (which is twenty-four times 1 and one twenty-fourth of 72)

36 x 2 (which is thirty-six times 1 and one thirty-sixth of 72)

Results when you multiply a number by a value and divide the number by the same value

The multiplication is offset by the division

The division is offset by the multiplication

Multiplying by 2 if offset by dividing by 2 (which is the same as taking one half)

Multiplying by 3 is offset by dividing by 3 (which is the same as taking one third)

Multiplying by 4 is offset by dividing by 4 (which is the same as taking one fourth)

Multiplying by 5 is offset by dividing by 5 (which is the same as taking one fifth)

Multiplying by 6 is offset by dividing by 6 (which is the same as taking one sixth)

Multiplying by 7 is offset by dividing by 7 (which is the same as taking one seventh)

Multiplying by 8 is offset by dividing by 8 (which is the same as taking one eighth)

Multiplying by 9 is offset by dividing by 9 (which is the same as taking one ninth)

Multiplying by 10 is offset by dividing by 10 (which is the same as taking one tenth)

This pattern continues forever

Addition (Sum) When a number is added to another number, the answer is call the Sum

Adding a positive number to a positive number 8 + 5

Start at the first number (8)

Move to the right the number of positions of the second number (5)

8 + 5 = 13 Adding a positive number to a negative number -8 + 5

Start at the first number (-8)

Move to the right the number of positions of the second number (5)

-8 + 5 = -3

Notice that the sign of the answer (negative) is the same as the sign of the larger number (-8) Adding a negative number to a positive number 8 + (-5)

Start at the first number (8)

Move to the left the number of positions of the second number (5)

o This is the same as subtracting the second number from the first number

o 8 + (-5) 8 – 5

8 + (-5) = 3

Notice that the sign of the answer (positive) is the same as the sign of the larger number (8) Adding a negative number to a negative number -8 + (-5)

Start at the first number (-8)

Move to the left the number of positions of the second number (5) o This is the same as subtracting the second number from the first number

o -8 + (-5) -8 – 5

o Because both numbers are negative, you actually add the values and keep the negative sign

-8 + (-5) = -13

Notice that the sign of the answer (negative) is the same as the sign of both numbers

24

Section 8.5 Arithmetic Operations on Numbers (continued)

Subtraction (Difference) When a number is subtracted from another number, the answer is call the Difference

Subtracting a positive number from a positive number 8 – 5

Start at the first number (8)

Move to the left the number of positions of the second number (5) o The is the same as adding a negative number to a positive number

o 8 – 5 8 + (-5)

8 – 5 = 3

Notice that the sign of the answer (positive) is the same as the sign of the larger (8) value

Subtracting a positive number from a negative number -8 – 5

Start at the first number (-8)

Move to the left the number of positions of the second number (5) o This is the same as adding a negative number to another negative number

o -8 – 5 -8 + (-5)

o Because both numbers are negative, you actually add the values and keep the negative sign

-8 – 5 = -13

Subtracting a negative number from a positive number 8 – (-5)

Start at the first number (8)

Move to the right the number of positions of the second number (5) o The is the same as adding the second number to the first number

o 8 – (-5) 8 + 5

o Because both numbers are positive, you actually add the values and keep the positive sign

8 – (-5) 8 + 5 13 Subtracting a negative number from a negative number -8 – (-5)

Start at the first number (-8)

Move to the right the number of positions of the second number (5) o This is the same as adding the second number to the first number

o -8 – (-5) -8 + 5

Notice that the sign of the answer (negative) is the same as the sign of the larger (-8) value

25

Section 8.5 Arithmetic Operations on Numbers (continued)

Multiplication (Product) When a number is multiplied by another number, the answer is call the Product

Multiplication is “repeated addition”

8 x 5 means “repeatedly add the value 8 (5 sets of times)” 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8

5 x 8 means “repeatedly add the value 5 (8 sets of times)” 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5

Multiplication is a “short hand” way is saying “add this value over and over this many times” Multiplying a positive number with a positive number 8 x 5

Results in a positive answer

8 x 5 = 40 Multiplying a positive number with a negative number 8 x (-5)

Results in a negative answer

8 x (-5) = -40

Multiplying a negative number with a positive number (-8) x 5

Results in a negative answer

(-8) x 5 = -40 Multiplying a negative number with a negative number (-8) x (-5)

Results in a positive answer

(-8) x (-5) = 40

General Multiplication Principles

When multiplying two values: o When the signs are the same, the answer is positive

o When the signs are different, the answer is negative

When multiplying more than two values: o When there is an even number of negative values, the answer is positive

o When there is an odd number of negative values, the answer is negative

26

Section 8.5 Arithmetic Operations on Numbers (continued)

Division (Quotient) When a number is divided into another number, the answer is call the Quotient

Division is “repeated subtraction”

40 ÷ 5 means “repeatedly divide 40 in to groups containing 5 elements”

The final answer specifies “how many groups” there are

Repeatedly “dividing 40 into groups containing 5 elements” will result in 8 groups o Therefore, 40 ÷ 5 = 8

Dividing a positive number by a positive number 40 ÷ 5

Results in a positive answer

40 ÷ 5 = 8 Dividing a positive number by a negative number 40 ÷ (-5)

Results in a negative answer

40 ÷ (-5) = -8 Dividing a negative number by a positive number (-40) ÷ 5

Results in a negative answer

(-40) ÷ 5 = -8

Dividing a negative number with a negative number (-40) ÷ (-5)

Results in a positive answer

(-40) ÷ (-5) = 8 General Division Principles

When dividing two values:

o When the signs are the same, the answer is positive

o When the signs are different, the answer is negative

When dividing more than two values: o When there is an even number of negative values, the answer is positive

o When there is an odd number of negative values, the answer is negative

Section 9.1 Introduction to Fractions (continued)

Reducing (Simplifying) Fractions

Determine the greatest common (GCF) factor of the numerator and denominator

Divide the numerator and denominator that GCF (making the resulting GCF 1)

Example: Reduce 60

Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Fractions

Divide the denominator into the numerator becomes the whole number part

Place the remainder over the denominator becomes the fractional part

Put together the whole part and the fractional part

Example: Convert 4

11 to a mixed fraction

Divide the denominator into the numerator 11 ÷ 4 = 2 (whole part with remainder 3)

Place the remainder over the denominator 4

3 (fractional part)

Put together the whole part and the fractional part 24

Converting Mixed Fractions to Improper Fractions

Multiply the integer by the denominator of the fraction

Add this product to the numerator of the fraction

Place this sum over the original denominator

Example: Convert 2 4

3 to an improper fraction

Multiply the integer by the denominator of the fraction 2 x 4 = 8

Add this product to the numerator of the fraction 8 + 3 11

Place this sum over the original denominator 4

11

37

Section 9.1 Introduction to Fractions (continued)

Comparing Fractions

Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and the numerator

of the second fraction by the denominator of the first fraction

Compare the two multiplied values

The first multiplied value corresponds to the first fraction

The second multiplied value corresponds to the second fraction

Example: Compare 8

7 and

15

13

Multiply 7 and 15 (corresponds to first fraction) 105

Multiply 13 and 8 (corresponds to second fraction) 104

Since the first product (7 x 15) is larger than the second product (13 x 8), the first fraction (8

7) is

larger than the second fraction (15

Converting Fractions to have a Common Denominator

This is an extremely important concept when preparing to add or subtract fractions with different

denominators

Steps to converting fractions to have a common denominator

First, determine the least common denominator (LCD)

Then determine for each fraction what number to multiply the current denominator to reach the

LCD

For each fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the value that will make the fraction contain the LCD, making an equivalent fraction

Example: Convert the following fractions to have a common denominator 3

Subtracting Mixed Fractions

Subtract the whole parts from one another and the fractional parts from one another

If the fractions have the same denominators, use the steps for “Subtracting Fractions with Like

Denominators”

If the fractions have different denominators, use the steps for “Subtracting Fractions with Unlike

Denominators”

If the fraction to the right of the minus sign is great than the fraction to the left of the minus sign, you

will have to “borrow” from the whole number to the left of the minus sign

Subtract 1 from the fraction to the left of the minus sign

Add the denominator value on the fraction to the left of the minus sign to the numerator value to the

fraction to the left of the minus sign (creating an improper fraction)

Subtract the whole number to the right of the minus sign from the whole number to the left of the

minus sign

Subtract the fraction part of the number to the right of the minus sign from the improper fraction to

the left of the minus sign

Reduce the final answer if possible

For multiplying fractions, remember this phrase “Simplify before you multiply”

Multiplying Mixed Fractions

Convert each mixed fraction to the corresponding improper fraction

Reduce the fractions if possible by combining numerators and denominators (whether from the same

fraction or from different fractions)

Multiply the numerators

Multiply the denominators

If the answer results in an improper fraction, convert the final answer back to a mixed fraction

Dividing Fractions by Fractions

Multiply first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction

Often phrased by teachers as “keep it, change it, flip it”

“Keep” the first fraction as is

“Change” the operation from division to multiplication

“Flip” the numerator and denominator of the second fraction

Do not attempt to divide fractions, but always multiply them

Example: 4

3 ÷

Section 9.2 Fraction Arithmetic (continued)

Dividing Fractions by Whole Numbers

Use the “keep it, change it, flip it” concept

“Keep” the first fraction as is

“Change” the operation from division to multiplication

“Flip” the whole number to become a fraction (the reciprocal of the whole number)

Now you multiply the first fraction by the second fraction

See if you can reduce the fractions’ numerator and/or denominator prior to multiplying

One all numerators and denominators have been reduced, multiply the numerators

Then multiply the denominators

At this point, the final answer should already be reduced

Dividing Whole Numbers by Fractions

Use the “keep it, change it, flip it” concept

“Keep” the first value (whole number) as is

“Change” the operation from division to multiplication

“Flip” the numerator and denominator of the second value (the fraction)

Now you multiply the whole number by the “flipped” second value

See if you can reduce the fractions’ numerator and/or denominator prior to multiplying

One all numerators and denominators have been reduced, multiply the numerators

Then multiply the denominators

At this point, the final answer should already be reduced

If the answer is an improper fraction, you can convert it to a mixed fraction

Section 9.2 Fraction Arithmetic (continued)

Dividing Mixed Fractions

Convert each mixed fraction to the corresponding improper fraction

Use the “keep it, change it, flip it” concept

“Keep” the first value (the original fraction) as is

“Change” the operation from division to multiplication

“Flip” the numerator and denominator of the second value (the improper fraction)

Reduce the fractions if possible by combining numerators and denominators (whether from the same

fraction or from different fractions)

Multiply the first value by the second

At this point, the final answer should already be reduced

If the answer is an improper fraction, you can convert it to a mixed fraction
