Definition
Positive and negative whole numbers including 00.
Positive numbers:
Numbers written with the '++' sign or without any sign.
Examples: +12,4,+7,1+12,4,+7,1
Positive integers are integers that have a value greater than 00.
Negative numbers:
Numbers written with the '−−' sign.
Examples: −6,−2,−15,−27−6,−2,−15,−27
Negative integers are integers that are lower than 00.
Example
Determine whether the following numbers is an integer.
(i) 7227
(ii) 6.86.8
(iii) −12−12
(i) 7227 is not an integer because it is a fraction.
(iii) −12−12 is an integer.
Integers on a number line:
On a number line, the numbers in the positive direction are always greater than
the numbers in the negative direction.
Integers in order:
A positive number always has a larger value than a negative number.
If +300 represents 300 km for a flight from Tawau town to the east, how can you write the flight from
Tawau to the opposite direction, namely towards the west as far as 300 km?
Ans= (-300)
Addition of integers:
Positive integers is represented by moving towards the right.
Negative integers is represented by moving towards the left.
Example: 7+7= 14 -3+(-2)= -5
Subtraction of integers:
Positive integers is represented by moving towards the left.
Negative integers is represented by moving towards the right.
Solve:

2 – 8 = (-6)
Multiplication of integers:
Operation Sign of the product
(+)×(+)(+)×(+) ++
(+)×(−)(+)×(−) −−
(−)×(+)(−)×(+) −−
(−)×(−)(−)×(−) ++
Division of integers:
Operation Sign of the quotient
(+)÷(+)(+)÷(+) ++
(+)÷(−)(+)÷(−) −−
(−)÷(+)(−)÷(+) −−
(−)÷(−)(−)÷(−) ++
In general,
The product or quotient of two integers with the same signs is a positive integer.
The product or quotient of two integers with different signs is a negative integer.

Factors
A number that divides another number completely.
The factors of 1212 are 1,2,3,4,61,2,3,4,6 and 1212.
Example
Is 1212 the factor of 3636?
36÷12=336÷12=3
2235603015512235−60301551
Thus,
60=2×2×3×560=2×2×3×5.
Factor trees:
Express 6060 in the form of prime factorisation.
Thus,
60=2×2×3×560=2×2×3×5.
Common Factor
A number that is a factor of a few other numbers.
Example
Determine whether 66 is a common factor of 2424 and 3636.
24÷6=436÷6=624÷6=436÷6=6
Factors of 18:1,2,3,6,9,1818:1,2,3,6,9,18

3.1 Square and square roots
Squares:
Definition
A number that indicates a number is multiplied by the number itself.
Examples: 22,92,5222,92,52
Perfect squares:
Defintion
A number that is equal to the square of a whole number.
Examples: 1,4,91,4,9
Example
144=12×12=122.
144 is a perfect square.
Relationship between squares and square roots:
Finding the square and finding the square root are inverse operations.
Example
The square of 88 is 6464.
8×8=64
Thus,
64=8×8=8.
