How to find unit digit of powers of numbers:  Pattern 1


If Base's unit's digit is- 2/3/7/ or 8


EX: "Find unit's digit of 2336"

 


 


 


 

Definition


Bases with Units Digit of 2, 3, 7, or 8 will repeat UDs every 4th value,


Divide the bases's exponent by 4. 

 

After dividing, 
If remainder is 1, unit digit of number raised to the power 1. 
If remainder is 2, unit digit of number raised to the power 2. 
If remainder is 3, unit digit of number raised to the power 3. 
If remainder is 0, unit digit of number raised to the power 4.

Base with Unit's Digit  - 0/1/5/6

 

Ex: "WHAT'S THE UNIT'S DIGIT OF 2567?"

Definition


For 0/1/5/ or 6


all subsequent poers of this base will habve the SAME UNIT's DIGIT

How to find unit digit of powers of numbers  Pattern 3

 
Base has unit's digit of 9
 
Ex: "Find Unit's Digit of 79916"
Definition


For bases with Unit's Digit 9...


If power is odd --> unit's digit will be '9 


If power is even --> unit's digit will be '1' 

Term

How to find unit digit of powers of numbers


What is the unit's digit of 12294 ?

Definition

Unit's place is 2. So, it repeats every 4th term of the power. 


So, divide the exponent by 4:


94 ÷ 4 = 23, remainder 2 (remainder is what matters). 

Raise the base's unit's digit (2) to the power of 2 (the remainder) to find the unit's digit of 12294:

 

22 = 4, so the Unit's Digit of 12294 is 4!

Thus, 4 is the unit's digit of 122^94.

The sum of N's digits must be divisible by 3

Term

 



Divisibility Tests: 

 

How can you determine if N is divisible by 4 ?

 

Definition

 

 

 

1.) N's last two digits must read "00" (ex. "1500")


2.) N's last two digits both divisible by 4 (ex."1,284)

Term

Term

Finding factors for a POSITIVE INTEGER: 

What is the sum of the positive factors of integer N?


 Find the sum of 32's factors
 
Find the sum of 1452's factors
Definition

1. Express N in terms of it's prime factors

AP x BQ x CR


2. N will have (P+1)x(Q+1)x(R+1) positive factors

 

Examples

32= 25. 

Sum of 32's positive factors = (5+1) = 6.

 

1,452 = 22 x 3 x 112.

Sum of 1452's positive factors = (2+1)x(1+1)x(2+1)

3x2x3= 18 positive factors. 

Term

Find number of factors for a POSITIVE INTEGER: 



Which could be the # of factors for N if N is a perfect square?

 

a.) 2

b.) 6

c.) 3

 


Definition

 

c.) 3

 

Perfect squares will always have ODD # factors



Think about it: N will be "missing" a factor when compared to non-perfect squares because N (and every other perfect square) has a square root that appears twice in its list of factors!! 

Term

Find number of factors for a POSITIVE INTEGER: 



What is the sum of ALL factors of positive nteger N?

Definition

1. Express N in terms of it's prime factors

 

AP x BQ x CR


2.  The sum of N's factors is expressed as: 

 

[(A(P+1) - 1)÷(A-1)] x [(B(Q+1) -1)÷(B-1)] x [(C(R+1) -1)÷(C-1)]

 

 

Term

Factor Properties for Positive Integers



For integer N with prime factorization of a, b, c, d and e, is N a perfect square?

Definition

YES


The only numbers with an odd number of prime factors are PERFECT SQUARES!!

 

Term

REMAINDERS

 

(I) When 2 numbers (A and B) are divided by same divisor (C) and the remainders obtained are the same, THEN the DIFFERENCE b/w the 2 numbers (A-B)is also divisible by that divisor (A-B)/C

 

(II) When 2 positive numbers X and Y are divided by the same divisor Z and remainders obtained are 'r1' and 'r2' respectively- - - THEN the remainders obtained when X+Y is divided by Z will be r1+r2

What is the remainder when 256 is divided by 7 ? 

 
Definition

Using Pattern Method to solve: 

 

Try to find a pattern by looking at remainders that result when lower values of 2x are divided by 7:

 1.  21/7= remainder 2 (2/7=0. 0+2=2)

2.  22/7= remainder 4

3.  23/7= remainder 1

4.  24/7= remainder 2

5.  25/7= remainder 4

 

Pattern = remainders repeat after 3 exponents.  

 

56 ÷ 3= 18, remainder 2. The 2nd term in the pattern will be the answer; therefore: 256 ÷7 has remainder 4!!
