Prime Number
Prime number: A prime number is an integer that is divisible only by itself and 1.
a) The first twenty six (26) prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59,
61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97 and 101. There are infinitely many prime numbers.
b) 44 22 322 321
c) In the range of 1 – 100, there are 25 primes. In 1 – 50, it is 15. ( 1 – 50 = 15, 51 – 100 = 10
10). In 100 – 200, there
are 21 primes.
d) 2 is the only even prime number as well as the smallest one. Lowest odd prime number is 3. Only positive
numbers can be primes.
e) All prime numbers except 2 and 5 end in 1, 3, 7 or 9, since numbers ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 are multiples of 2
and numbers ending in 0 or 5 are multiples of 5. Similarly, all prime numbers above 3 are of the 6n - 1 form or
6n + 1, because all other
er numbers are divisible by 2 or 3.
Finite Series
Series: If the terms of a sequence are connected successively by + sign, a series is obtained. Such as, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 +
....... is a series. Among the series, two important series are arithmetic series and geometric series.
1. Arithmetic series: If the difference between any term and its antecedent term is always equal, the series
is called arithmetic series. Example: 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 is an arithmetic series. In an arithmetic series,
the first term and the common difference are generally denoted by a and d respectively. Then by
definition, if the first term is a,, the second term is a + d, the third term is a + 2d,, etc. Hence, the series will
be a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) +......
2. Geometric series: If the ratio of any term and its antecedent term of any series is always equal i.e., if any
term divided by its antecedent term, the quotient is always equal, the series is called a geometric series
and the quotient is called common ratio. Example: 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 is a geometricmetric series.

Formulae of Series:
1. Arithmetic series: Let,, in a series the first term = a, common difference = d,, last term = l, number of terms
= n, nth term be tn, then

I. nth term = a + (n – 1) d (Determination of common term of an arithmetic series)

II. Sum of n terms = [2 + ( − 1) ] (Use if the last term is unknown)

III. Sum of n terms = ( + ) (Use if the last term is known)

2. Geometric Series: a, ar, ar2, ar3, ..... are said to be a geometric series in which first term = a and common ratio = r
I. nth term =
( )
II. Sum of n terms = ( )
(when < 1)
( )
III. Sum of n terms = (when > 1)
( )

3. (1 + 2 + 3 + ..... + n) = ( + 1))

4. (12 + 22 + 32 + ..... + n2) = ( + 1)(2 + 1)

5. (13 + 23 + 33 + ..... + n3) = ( + 1)

6. The sum of the first n odd natural numbers is n2.

7. The sum of the first n even natural numbers is n2+n.
8. In any set of integers that are equally spaced (consecutive integers, consecutive evens or odds, or
consecutive multiples) the median and mean are equal.

2.9 Consecutive Order: One/Another/the
Another/the Other: Often, correctly using the word other can be confusing. The word
another and other are not specific, while the other is specific. If the subject is understood then other can be used as a
pronoun. If the understood noun is a plural count noun then other becomes others.. (Note: other CANNOT be plural if
followed by a noun.) Look at the following examples.

This knife is dull. Please give me another.

(an + other + singular noun = any other knife – not specific)

This knife is dull. Please give me the other.

(the other + singular noun = the only other option – specific)

This cake is delicious. Other cakes are delicious also. OR This cake is delicious. Others are delicious also.

(other + plural noun = other cakes: not specific) Since the subject is understood from the first sentence, you can omit the
plural noun “cakes” in the second sentence and pluralize other to others.

These apples are bad. I want the other apples. OR These apples are bad. I want the others.
(the other + plural noun = other apples: specific) Since the subject is
is understood from the first sentence, you can omit the
plural noun “apples” in the second sentence and pluralize the other to the others.
You can also substitute other + one (for a singular noun) and other + ones (for a plural noun.)
This knife is dull. Please give me another one. (not specific)
This knife is dull. Please give me the other one. (specific)
This cake is delicious. Other ones are delicious also. (not specific)
These apples are bad. I want the other ones. (specific)

2.10 Numerical Order: Remember that, 'the' is used with an ordinal number before a singular count noun to express
numerical order. A cardinal number is used after a singular count noun to express numerical order. The is used before the
ordinal number, not the noun itself. Again the is used before the noun, not the cardinal number.

Two Second
Twenty Twentieth
