Important Topics in Class 6 Maths Chapter 3 

Class 6 Maths Chapter 3 Playing With Numbers has a number of important concepts which are as given below – 

  • A number system is a system of writing or expressing numbers.

According to the number system, the different types of numbers are Prime numbers, Even numbers, Odd numbers, Whole numbers, Natural numbers, and Composite numbers.
  • The factor of a number is an exact divisor of that number. 

Example: 1, 2, 3, and 6 are all factors of the number 6.

  • Perfect Numbers: A number for which the sum of all its factors is equal to twice that number is known as a perfect number

Example: Factors of 28 can be identified as 1, 2, 4, 7, 14 and 28.

  • Multiples of a number are the numbers we get on multiplying a given number by any integer.

Each multiple of a number is either greater than or equal to that number

  • Prime Numbers are all the numbers other than 1 whose only factors are 1 and the number itself.
Example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, etc.
