1. In ascending order of numbers there is no end.
2. Natural numbers are called counting numbers or positive integers.we
denote it as N = {1,2,3,}
3. Whole numbers are called as non-negative numbers. We denote it as W
= {0,1,2,3,}
4. There is a successor for every whole number
5. There is a predecessor for every whole number except zero.
6. All the numbers which divide a given number leaving 0 as remainder are
called as divisors of the given number.
7. Prime numbers are numbers which are divided by 1 and itself.
8. Numbers having more than two divisors are called composite numbers.
9. 1 has only one divisor, so 1 is neither a prime nor composite number.
10. Divisibility test of numbers:
2: number ending with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
5: Number ending with 0,5
10: numbers ending with 0
4: Last two digits divisible by 4
8: last three digits divisible by 8
3: sum of the digits should be divisible by 3
9: sum of the digits divisible by 9]
6: number that is divisible by 2 & 3
11: If the difference between the sum of the digits is the odd places and
sum of the digits in the even places is neither 0 or multiples of 11
11. The smallest among the common multiples of two numbers is called their
l.c.m

12. g.c.d of any two consecutive numbers is 1 and they are said to be
relatively prime numbers.
13. The method of expressing a number as a product of prime numbers is
called prime factorization
14. Among the common divisors of the given numbers, the greatest divisor is
the g.c.d
15. The product of any two numbers is equal to the product of their g.c.d and
l.c.m
16. Like fractions having same denominator.
17. For addition and subtraction of fractional numbers with denominator, all
the numerators are added and the sum is written as numerator in the result
,keeping the denominator same
18. The value of decimal point is always less than 1in the decimal number
zero to the extreme right end has no value
19. Point indicates a definite position
20. A ray is starts from a fixed point and extends indefinitely in the other
direction.
21. A line segment has definite length and has both starting point and
ending point.
22. A plane is a flat surface which extends indefinitely in all direction.
23. To form a plane it is enough to have three points which do not lie in the
same line.
24. Lines which do not intersect each other are called parallel lines
25. Three or more lines passing through a point are called concurrent lines
26. The point through which the lines pass is called point of concurrency
27. Two lines which intersect each other at right angle are called
perpendicular lines
28. Three or more points which lie on the same planes are called collinear
points
