Operations with Whole Numbers

To combine whole numbers, we have operations

Addition (+): 34 + 26

Subtraction (-): 18 – 14

Multiplication (x): 3 x 7

Division (÷): 30 ÷ 6

Order of Operations

BEDMAS

Brackets, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction

Operations on the same level (x/÷, +/-) work from left to right

Within brackets, do innermost brackets first

Divisibility

A number is divisible by another number if when you divide them, there is no remainder

14 is divisible by 7 because it is 2 with no remainder

Divisibility Rules

2: one’s digit is even

3: sum of digits is divisible by 3

4: last 2 digits are divisible by 4

5: number ends in 0 or 5

6: divisible by both 2 and 3

9: sum of digits is divisible by 9

10: number ends in 0

Factors and Multiples

Prime numbers: a natural number that exactly have 2 factors

3, 5, 19

Factor: if a number is divisible by the number, then it is a factor of that number

7 is a factor of 21

Multiple: the product of the number and some other whole number

Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15…
