NUMBER SYSTEMS
Natural Numbers – The numbers starting from 1,
2, 3, … are called as Natural Numbers.
Whole Numbers- The collection of Natural
Numbers along with the number 0 i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3…
are called as Whole Numbers.
Integers – The collection of Whole Numbers
along with their negatives form the collection of
Integers i.e. …-3,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 …
Rational Numbers The numbers which can be
written in form, where p and q are integers and
q≠0 are called as Rational Numbers. For example
– , , 4, 0
ADD/SUBTRACT RATIONAL NUMBERS
Case I – Same Denominator Case II – Different Denominators
Example 1: Example 3:
Step 1 – Take LCM of denominators, LCM(5,6) = 30
Example 2:
Example 4:
LCM(8,4) = 8

Operation Numbers Remarks
Addition and is a rational number. Rational Numbers are closed
under addition.
On adding 0 to any rational number, we get On multiplying 1 with any rational number, we
the number itself. get the number itself.
