Summary

In this chapter, we have studied the following points:

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic :

1. Every composite number can be expressed(factorised) as a product of , and this factorisation is , apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.

2. If p is a prime and p divides a2, then p divides a, where a is a integer.

We have learnt to prove that 2, 3 are .

NOTE FOR THE READER

You have seen that : HCF(p,q,r) × LCM(p,q,r) ≠ p × q × r, where p, q, r are positive integers (see Example 8). However, the following results hold good for three numbers p, q and r :

LCM (p, q, r) = p×q×r×HCFp,q,rHCFp,q×HCFq,r×HCFp,r

HCF (p, q, r) = p×q×r×LCMp,q,rLCMp,q×LCMq,r×LCMp,r
