(No. that
itself)

can be divided by 1 and

3. A factor of a number,

i.e. the multiple of a number.

For example the factor

of 5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 ..

4. Highest common factor:

HCF
5

5, 35,50
1, 7, 10

The highest common factor of 5, 35

and 50 is 5

5. Evaluate 3 (-2) + 4-2 (-1)

Working:
3 (-2) + 4 - 2 (-1) = - 6 + 4 +2 = -6 + 6 = 0
Formula:
(+ ) (+) = +
(-) (-) = +
(-) (+) = (+)(-) = -

(same sign = +)

6. Index notation ( to the power of)

E.g. 3 X 3 X 5 X 5 X 5 = 3 2 X 5 3
7. Express 30 as the product of prime factors:
30

8. Simplify:
5x 2y + 6x +17 y
= 5x + 6x -2y +17y
= x (5 + 6) y (2 17)
= 11x - y (-15)
= 11x + 15y
9. Express 0. 000056 in standard form
0.000056 = 5.6 X 10 -5
(

If the decimal point move to the right the power will be negative & if it moves to the
left the number will be positive)

Problem solving questions:

17. Ahmad gives his son $50 per month as pocket money. How much money would
Ahmad spend on his son for one year as pocket money?
Ahmad gives his son per month

= $50

He spend on pocket money in one year (12 months) = $50 X 12 = $ 600

21. (a) Convert 6 40 pm to 24 hour time notation.

6. 40 pm = 6 hr 40 min = (6 x 60) + 40 = 360 + 40 = 400 hrs
22. Amsyar works from 07 30 to 16 45 everyday. Calculate the total number of hours
and minutes that Amsyar works in three days.
Amsyar works for 1 day = 16hr 45 min - 07 hrs 30 mins
