A Complete Guide on Quantitative Aptitude for Banking & Insurance Examinations

Chapter Number System, Simplification


01 and Approximation
This chapter forms a basis of many other topics in mathematics. Let us begin by understanding various types of numbers.
(1) Natural Numbers: All the counting numbers are called natural number.
Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ......
(a) Even Numbers: The numbers which are exactly divisible by 2 are called even numbers.
Example: 2, 4, 6, 8, ...
(b) Odd Numbers: The numbers which leave a remainder 1 when divided by 2 are called odd numbers.

number.
Example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ....
Co-primes → Two numbers which have no common factor between them except 1 are said to be co-prime to
each other. The two numbers individually may be prime or composite.
Example: 13 and 29 are co-primes.
(d) Composite Numbers: Numbers which are divisible by other numbers along with 1 and itself are called
composite numbers.
Example: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, .....
The number 1 is neither prime nor composite.

(2) Whole Numbers: Natural numbers along with ‘0’ form the set of whole numbers.
Example: 0, 1, 2, 3, .....
(3) Integers: All counting numbers and their negatives along with zero are called Integers.
Example: ......-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, .......
𝑝
(4) Rational and Irrational Numbers: Any number which can be expressed in the form of 𝑞 , where p and q are integers
and q≠0, is a rational number.
𝟑
Example: 5 , 4, –6, etc.
Numbers which are represented by non–terminating and non–recurring decimals are called irrational numbers.
Example: √2 = 1.414....., √3 = 1.732.....
(5) Real Numbers: Rational and irrational number taken together are called real numbers.

We can summarise the above discussion as follows :

Numbers

Real Imaginary

Rational Irrational

Integer Fractions

Negative 0 Positive
integers integers

Some important formula :


1. a²–b² = (a + b) (a – b)
2. (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab
3. (a – b)² = a² + b² – 2ab
