The numbers ..., -3, -2, - 1, 0, l, 2, 3, ... are called integers. The number divisors are I and itself.
1 , 2, 3 .. . are called positive integers while the numbers -l , -2, -3 , -4, ...

are called negative integers. Example: 5

The numbers 2,3, 6,7, LL, 13, 17, 19,23,29 and 31 are prime numbers.

Some Divisibility Rules Operations on Integers

2: If the last digit is even, the number is divisible by 2. A. Addition

1. To add two positive integers, do the usual addition
J: If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, the number is also divisible 2. To add two negative integers, add their absolute values, then put
bv 3. the negative sign back in place.
3. To add a mixed posite and numbers, subtract their absolute values
4: If the last two digits form a number divisible by 4, the number is also and keep the sign of the larger one.
divisible by 4. B. Multiplication
5; If the last digit is either 0 or 5, the number is also divisible by 5. 1. To multiply two integers with the same sign, simply multiply
their numerals or absolute values.
6: If the number is divisible by both 2 and 3 , it is also divisible by 6. 2. To multiply two integers with opposite signs, take the negative of
the product of their numerals.
7: Take the last digit, double it, and subtract it from the rest of the
number; if the answer is divisible by 7, then the number is also Examples:
divisible by 7. 1 l*2:3
2. 3+5:8
8: If the last 3 digits form a number divisible by 8, then so is the 3. 3-5=-2
number. 4. 1-10:-9
5. 10-2:8
9: If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9, the number is divisible by 9. 6. -2-3=5

Commutative Law of Multiplication
So, we can order the set of integers as follows: The order makes no difference when multiplying two integers. That is, for

what is given.

2. Represent one of the unknown quantities by a variable, say x, and try

to represent all the other quantities in terms of x. Ex. let x =
