Number Using

Learn about Using Numbers related to addition, multiplication, subtraction, division, how to write numbers, bigger than smaller than numbers and many more.
Number Using - 0-9 numbers
When you want to increase something you should add or multiply make it bigger.

Example:
5 + 6 = 11 (adding)
5 x 6 = 30 (multiplying)
When you want to decrease something you should subtract or divide make it smaller.

Example:
10 - 6 = 4 (subtracting)
100 / 5 = 20 (dividing)
When you adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing odd or even numbers the results always like this:

Example 1: Adding
Even + Even = Even - 4 + 6 = 10
Even + Odd = Odd - 6 + 3 = 9
Odd + Odd = Even - 5 + 5 = 10
Example 2: Subtracting
Even - Even = Even - 10 - 6 = 4
Even - Odd = Odd - 20 - 13 = 7
Odd - Odd = Even - 25 - 7 = 18
Example 3: Multiplying
Even x Even = Even - 10 x 10 = 100
Even x Odd = Even - 20 x 5 = 100
Odd x Odd = Odd - 7 x 9 = 63
Example 4: Dividing
Even ÷ Even = Even - 100 ÷ 10 = 10
Even ÷ Odd = Evan - 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Odd ÷ Odd = Odd - 21 ÷ 7 = 3
But Sometimes It Does Not Work Perfectly! Sometimes we cannot divide things up evenly ... there may be something left over.

Example
9 ÷ 2 = 4 and 1 left

9 cannot be divided exactly into 2, because there will be 1 left over. We call that the Remainder.
It is not only how many digits a number has that makes it big or small, but also what the digits are worth. This is called place value.

All numbers are made up of digits. You need only ten digits (0-9) to write any number you want. This is because of something called place value.

Example 1: 264
4 – This place stands for “Ones”
6 - This place stands for “Tens”
2 - This place stands for “Hundreds”
Example 2: 5,789
9 – This place stands for “Ones”
8 - This place stands for “Tens”
7 - This place stands for “Hundreds”
5 - This place stands for “Thousands”
Now you know the place value, place value can help you write numbers.

Write 2 digit numbers
You should write the tens part first and then the ones part.

Example:
5 6 - Fifty Six
9 8 - Ninety Eight
7 4 - Seventy Four
Write 3 digit numbers
You should write the hundreds part first and then the tens and ones.

Example:
5 6 1 - Five hundred Sixty one (Five hundred and sixty one)
9 8 3 - Nine hundred Eighty three (Nine hundred and eighty three)
7 4 2 - Seven hundred Forty two (Seven hundred and forty two)
Write 4 digit numbers
You should write the Thousands part first and then the hundreds, tens and ones.

Example:
5 6 1 3 - Five thousand six hundred and thirteen
9 8 3 4 - Nine thousand eight hundred and thirty four
7 4 2 6 - Seven thousand four hundred and twenty six
This is describe a number that is bigger or smaller than another one.
> - This symbol means is “bigger than or greater than”

Example:
10 > 5 means 10 bigger than 5
100 > 85 means 100 greater than 85
< - This symbol means is “less than or smaller than”

Example:
100 < 500 means 100 smaller than 500
156 < 200 means 156 less than 200
Ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times. By definition, the number one is a power of ten.

Example
10 = 10 x 1 = 101
100 = 10 x 10 = 102
1,000 = 10 x 10 x 10 = 103
A quantity representing the power to which a given number (On the other hand, how many times to use that number in a multiplication)

It should be a small number to the right and above the base number.

Example
1. 42 = 4 x 4 = 16
2. 33 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27
A number which produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself.

Example
4 x 4 = 16 - The square root of 16 is “4”
5 x 5 = 25 - The square root of 25 is “5”

The symbol is Square Root -
√25 = 5 (because 25= 5 x 5)
Scientific Notation is a way of writing numbers that are too big or too small to conveniently written in decimal form.

How it work:

How many places of power of 10 move the decimal point?
When the number is 10 (or greater) the decimal point move to the left (←) it should be positive.

Example
Ordinary Number: 800
In Scientific Notation: 8 X 102

Ordinary Number: 350,000,000
In Scientific Notation: 3.5 X 108

Or

Ordinary Number: 445,000,000
In Scientific Notation: 44.5 X 107

When the number is smaller than 1, the decimal point move to the right (→) it should be negative.

Example
Ordinary Number: 0.064
Scientific Notation: 6.4 X 10 -2

Ordinary Number: 0.000058
In Scientific Notation: 5.8 X 10-5
