Important Topics in Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 Real Numbers

Real Numbers is an important chapter of Class 10 Maths. The main topics of the chapter include – 

  • Euclid’s Division Lemma states that for any two integers a and b, there exists a unique pair of integers q and r such that a = b × q + r and 0 ≤ r < b. 
This lemma is equivalent to: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
In other words, for a pair of dividend and divisor, the remainder and the quotient obtained are unique.
  •  Prime Factorisation is the method of expressing a natural number as a product of different prime numbers. 
For example: 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3  is the prime factorisation of 36.
  • Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that the prime factorisation for a given number is unique if the arrangement of the prime factors is ignored.
For example: 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 or, 36 = 2 × 3 × 2 × 3
  • For any 2 positive integers a and b, a × b = H.C.F × L.C.M.
For example, For 36 and 56, the HCF is 4 and the LCM is 504
36 × 56 = 2016
4 × 504 = 2016
Therefore, 36 × 56 = 4 × 504
  • Rational numbers are the numbers that can be written in the p/q form, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
For example – 1/2, 4/5, 3/4, etc.
