Mathematics: Numbers, Number Patterns & Factors

1. Numbers and Number Patterns

 Numbers are symbols used to represent quantity (1, 2, 3 …).
 A pattern is a sequence that follows a specific rule.
 Examples of patterns:
o Arithmetic sequence: add the same number each time.
 2, 4, 6, 8, … (rule: add 2).
o Geometric sequence: multiply the same number each time.
 3, 6, 12, 24, … (rule: multiply by 2).
o Other patterns: square numbers (1, 4, 9, 16, …), triangular numbers (1, 3, 6, 10, …).

2. Factors of Numbers
 A factor is a number that divides another number exactly (without remainder).
 Example: Factors of 12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.
 Prime factors are factors that are prime numbers.
o 12 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 2² × 3.
 Finding factors helps in simplifying fractions, LCM, HCF, etc.
