Chapter Summary: Real Numbers

Chapter 1 of Class 10 Maths, Real Numbers, forms the basis of advanced mathematics. Here are the key topics covered in this chapter:

1. Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that every composite number can be expressed (factorized) as a product of prime numbers in a unique way, except for the order of primes. For example:

  • Example: 60 = 22 x 3 x 5
  • Applications: Finding LCM and HCF using prime factorization.

2. Euclid's Division Lemma

Euclid's Division Lemma states that for any two positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r such that:

a = bq + r, where 0 ≤ r < b

Applications include finding the HCF of two numbers.

3. Revisiting Irrational Numbers

Proving that certain numbers, such as \( \sqrt{2} \), \( \sqrt{3} \), and \( \sqrt{5} \), are irrational involves using proof by contradiction and the properties of prime factorization.

4. Decimal Representation of Rational Numbers

Rational numbers have either a terminating or repeating decimal expansion. For example:

  • 1/2 = 0.5 (terminating)
  • 1/3 = 0.333... (non-terminating, repeating)

Why This Chapter is Important

Understanding Real Numbers is crucial as it lays the foundation for higher-level mathematical concepts and problem-solving skills. The topics in this chapter are also frequently tested in board exams.
