Basic Number Theory



  • Square of every even Number = An even Number
  • Sum of first ‘n’ natural numbers = {n(n+1)}/2
  • Sum of first ‘n’ odd numbers = n2
  • Sum of first ‘n’ even numbers = n(n+1)
  • Sum of square of first ‘n’ natural numbers = {n(n+1)(2n+1)}/6
  • Sum of cubes of first ‘n’ natural numbers = {n(n+1)/2}2
  • There are 15 prime numbers between 1 & 50 and 10 prime numbers between 50 & 100
  • If n divides p & q, then n divides their sum and difference also
      Like: 6 divides 12 & 18, then 12+18 = 30 and 18-12 = 6 are also divided by 6

  • For any natural number n, (n3 – n) is divisible by 6
  • The product of three consecutive natural numbers is always divisible by 6
  • (xm – am) is divisible by (x – a) for all values of m
  • (xm – am) is divisible by (x + a) for even values of m
  • (xm + am) is divisivlke by (x + a) for odd values of m
  • Number of prime factors of ap bq cr ds is p+q+r+s, where a, b, c, d are prime numbers
