Year level
Course

N1 · Number and Algebra · Sec 1

Primes, integers and rational numbers

Working with whole numbers, integers, primes, HCF, LCM and rational numbers on the number line.

Key learning objectives
  • Perform calculations with integers and rational numbers.
  • Use prime factorisation to find HCF and LCM.
  • Compare and order rational numbers.
Key mathematical skills
  • Four operations on integers
  • Prime factorisation
  • HCF and LCM
Topical practice

Concept breakdown

Integers include negative numbers. When adding a negative, move left on the number line; subtracting a negative is equivalent to adding.

Guided worked example

Evaluate (−3) + 5 − (−2).

  1. (−3) + 5 = 2
  2. 2 − (−2) = 2 + 2 = 4

Answer: 4

Try it yourself

Find the HCF of 12 and 18.

Hint

List factors or use prime factorisation: 12 = 2²×3, 18 = 2×3².

Concept breakdown

Like terms have the same variable part. You can only add or subtract like terms: 3x + 2x = 5x, but 3x + 2y stays as 3x + 2y.

Guided worked example

Simplify 4a + 3b − 2a + 5.

  1. Group like terms: (4a − 2a) + 3b + 5
  2. = 2a + 3b + 5

Answer: 2a + 3b + 5

Try it yourself

If x = 2, find the value of 3x + 7.

Hint

Substitute x = 2 into the expression.
