Worksheet
- Addition:
- Addition of two numbers: a + b = c
- Addition of multiple numbers: a + b + c + … = sum of all numbers
Subtraction:
- Subtraction of two numbers: a – b = c
- Multiplication:
- Multiplication of two numbers: a * b = c
- Multiplication of multiple numbers: a * b * c * … = product of all numbers
Division:
- Division of two numbers: a / b = c
- Highest Common Factors (HCF):
- Finding HCF using prime factorization method:
- Express both numbers as a product of prime factors.
- The HCF is the product of common prime factors with the lowest powers.
- Lowest Common Multiples (LCM):
- Finding LCM using prime factorization method:
- Express both numbers as a product of prime factors.
- The LCM is the product of all prime factors with their highest powers.
- Order of Operations and Brackets:
- The order of operations, also known as BODMAS/BEDMAS, is used to perform calculations in a specific sequence:
- Brackets
- Order (exponents and roots)
- Division and multiplication (left to right)
- Addition and subtraction (left to right)
Example of expression evaluation:
a * (b + c) / d – e + f
- Evaluate the expression within brackets first: (b + c)
- Perform the multiplication: a * (b + c)
- Perform the division: (a * (b + c)) / d
- Perform the subtraction: ((a * (b + c)) / d) – e
- Perform the addition: (((a * (b + c)) / d) – e) + f
