Even Odd Numbers - Properties
Properties
Every EVEN number can be represented as 2n, where n is an integer
Every ODD number can be represented as 2n+1, where n is an integer
Basic Properties: Derived Properties:
Even +/- Even = Even (Even)n +/- (Even)n = Even +/- Even = Even
Even +/- Odd = Odd (Odd)n +/- (Odd)n = Odd +/- Odd = Even
Odd +/- Odd = Even (Even)n +/- (Odd)n = Even +/- Odd = Odd
(Even)2 = (2n)2 = 4n2 Divisible by 4
Even * Even = Even
Even * Odd = Even
Odd * Odd = Odd
Prime Numbers – Concepts Recap
• A prime number is a positive integer that has exactly TWO different positive factors, 1 and itself.
• 1 is neither Prime nor Composite (because has only 1 positive factor: 1 )
• 0 is neither Prime nor Composite (because 0 is not positive )
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 . . . Consecutive Prime Numbers
VERSUS
The only Even Prime Number The only consecutive numbers that are prime
Every positive integer K can be expressed as

where P1, P2, P3 …… are prime factors and
K = P 1 m × P 2 n × P3 r . . . m, n , r are non-negative integers
e.g.
4 = 22 8 = 23 12 = 22 × 3 1000 = 23 × 53 Prime Factorization
6 = 2× 3 10 = 2 × 5 18= 2 × 32 2400 = 25 ×3× 52
• > 2 Positive Factors => Composite Numbers Examples: 4, 6, 8, 9…

Prime Numbers - Concepts Recap
K = P 1 m × P2 n × P3 r . . . where P1, P2, P3 …… are prime factors and m, n , r
are non-negative integers
Ka = P1am × P2an × P3ar . . .
Ka has the same prime factors as K

Total number of factors = (m+1) (n +1)(r+1) . . .

e.g.
Reverse Logic
If K = P12 × P22 If Total number of factors of K = 9
Total number of factors of K = (2+1)(2+1)
= (3)(3) (3)(3) (9)(1)
=9 = (2+1)(2+1) = (8+1)(0+1)
=> K = P12 × P22 => K = P18 × P20
=> K = P18

Statement 2 – a4 when divided by 200 has the quotient 1
• Gives information only about ‘a’

• Does not shed any light on even-odd nature of b, c, and d.
• So this statement cannot be sufficient on its own.
• Need to be smart about utilizing time.
• Further Statement 1 is sufficient. • Be very clear about what is needed to
• So cannot use statement 1 with 2 to arrive at the answer.
• So no need to analyze this statement in detail.
• Mark the answer A.
Correct answer = Choice A

Statement 1 - Both a and b are squares of prime numbers.
Squares of consecutive
numbers that are prime
Per question {a, b} squares of consecutive numbers
{2,3}
Values of a, b known
Answers the question – remainder can be calculated
Q9 – Statement 2
a, b are consecutive squares Remainder of b/a = ?
{a, b} = {1, 4} {4, 9} {9, 16} {16, 25}… Need to know values of a and b
Statement 2 - Both a and b have 3 positive factors.
We need to extract as {2, 3} are the only consecutive numbers that are prime
much information as
(3)(1)
we can.
= (2+1)(0+1) {a, b} = {4, 9}
=> a = P12 × P20
=> a = P12
Values of a, b known
Answers the question – remainder can be calculated

a is square of a prime number
Similarly b is square of a prime number Statement 2 is sufficient
Correct answer = Choice D = Either statement is sufficient to answer the question

Q10 – Statement 1
X, P are positive integers Does P have a factor X between Is P prime?
1 and P?
Statement 1: GCD (P2, k) = k, where k is a prime number
P2 is divisible by k
k is a prime number
Xn has the same prime factors as X

k is a prime factor of P2 k is a prime factor of P
Think: P = nk (n is an integer)
Let k = 5
 P = 5n
If n ≠ 1
If n = 1 P is NOT Prime
P is Prime

P = (Q- 10)/4
• I have Q in terms of P.
• I will write P also in
terms of Q.
Q13 – Statement 1
P, Q are integers GCD of P and Q = ?
Q = 10 + 4P P = (Q- 10)/4
Statement 1: Q = 10 x, where x is a positive integer
P = (Q- 10)/4
x P Q GCD (P,Q)
3 5 30 5
P = (10x- 10)/4 5 10 50 10
ODD
7 15 70 5
P is an integer
P = 5(x- 1)/2 x – 1 is even
GCD may be 5 or 10
• I have P and Q in terms of x
• What property can I use to find something more about x
• Even-odd
• Then I can assume some numbers to find GCD information
Q13 – Statement 2
P, Q are integers GCD of P and Q = ?
Q = 10 + 4P P = (Q- 10)/4
Statement 2: P = 10 y, where y is a positive integer
Q = 10 + 4P
y P Q GCD (P,Q)
1 10 50 10
Q = 10 + 4(10y) 2 20 90 10
3 30 130 10
Q = 10(4y + 1)
GCD is always10
Correct answer = Choice B = Statement 2 is sufficient but statement 1 is not
Q14
How many prime factors does √Q have?
1. Q8 has three prime factors

2. Q is square of an odd positive integer
Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Q14 - Question Statement
How many prime factors does √Q have?
What do we need to find?
Number of Prime factors of √Q

=
Number of Prime factors of Q
if
√Q is an integer
Understand what we need to find.

Q14 – Statement 1
How many prime factors of √Q ?
Statement 1: Q8 has three prime factors
Q8 has 3 prime factors
Q will have 3 prime factors

Should we conclude so? ONLY if √Q is an integer
In other words
√Q will have 3 prime factors ONLY if Q is a perfect square
Need to know if Q is a perfect square

Q14 – Statement 2
How many prime factors of √Q ?
Statement 1: Q is square of an odd integer
Q is a perfect square of an odd integer
√Q is an odd integer !!
Prime factors of √Q = Prime factors of Q

Need to know number of prime factors of Q!!
If Q has ‘n’ prime factors then √Q too will have ‘n’ prime factors
If Q has only one prime factor, √Q too will have just one prime factor (Ex: 9 = 32 )
If Q has two prime factors, √Q too will have two prime factors (Ex: 225 = 32* 52)
Q14 - Statement 1 & 2
Statement 1 Statement 2
√Q will have three prime factors

if Q is a perfect square
Q is a perfect square
√Q has three prime factors
Correct answer = Choice C = Both together are sufficient

What will we not cover in this session?

Every ODD number can be represented as 2n+1, where n is an integer

Basic Properties: Derived Properties:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 . . . Consecutive Prime Numbers

Every positive integer K can be expressed as

• > 2 Positive Factors => Composite Numbers Examples: 4, 6, 8, 9…

Ka = P1am × P2an × P3ar . . .

Ka has the same prime factors as K

Unauthorized copying prohibited

Total number of factors = (m+1) (n +1)(r+1) . . .

Unauthorized copying prohibited

Total number of factors = (m+1) (n +1)(r+1) . . .
