1. Euclid’s Division lemma:- Given Positive integers a and b there exist unique integers q and r satisfying
a=bq +r, where 0 $Euclid’s Division lemma$ where a, b, q and r are respectively called as dividend, divisor, quotient and remainder.

2. Euclid’s division Algorithm:- To obtain the HCF of two positive integers say c and d, with c>0, follow the steps below:

Step I: Apply Euclid’s division lemma, to c and d, so we find whole numbers, q and r such that c =dq+r, 0

Step II: If r=0, d is the HCF of c and d. If r

Step III: Continue the process till the remainder is zero. The divisor at this stage will be the required HC

3. The Fundamental theorem of Arithmetic:-
Every composite number can be expressed ( factorised ) as a product of primes, and this factorization is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.
Ex.: $The Fundamental theorem of Arithmetic$

Theorem: LET

be a rational number whose decimal expansion terminates. Then

can be expressed in the form
$rational number$

1. If the H C F of 657 and 963 is expressible in the form of 657x + 963x - 15 find x.Definition
(Ans:x=22)
$Real numbers$

2. Express the GCD of 48 and 18 as a linear combination. (Ans: Not unique)

|
$n$
Hence, x and y are not unique.

3. Prove that one of every three consecutive integers is divisible by 3.
Ans:
n,n+1,n+2 be three consecutive positive integers
We know that n is of the form 3q, 3q +1, 3q + 2
So we have the following cases Properties
$consecutive positive integers$

4. Find the largest possible positive integer that will divide 398, 436, and 542 leaving remainder 7, 11, 15 respectively.
(Ans: 17)
$largest possible positive integer$
$largest positive integer$
