DEFINITION: EVEN OR ODD NUMBERS
N = 2K
N = 2K + 1
DEFINITION: PRIME NUMBERS
Theorem 4.1.1
The sum of any two even integers is even.
Theorem 4.2.1
The difference of any odd integer and any even integer is odd.
4.3
Rational Numbers
A real number r is rational if, and only if, it can be expressed as a quotient of two
integers with a nonzero denominator. A real number that is not rational is irrational.
Zero Product Property
If neither of two real numbers is zero, then their product is also not zero
Theorem 4.3.1
Every integer is a rational number.
Theorem 4.3.2
The sum of any two rational numbers is rational.
Corollary 4.3.2
The double of a rational number is rational.
DEFINITION: DIVISIBILITY
n is divisible by d if, and only if, n equals d times some integer and d =! 0.
n is a multiple of d, or
d is a factor of n, or
d is a divisor of n, or
d divides n.
Theorem 4.4.1 A Positive Divisor of a Positive Integer
For all integers a and b, if a and b are positive and a divides b then a # b.
Theorem 4.4.2 Divisors of 1
The only divisors of 1 are 1 and -1.
Theorem 4.4.3 Transitivity of Divisibility
For all integers a, b, and c, if a divides b and b divides c, then a divides c.
Theorem 4.4.4 Divisibility by a Prime
Any integer n . 1 is divisible by a prime number.
Theorem 4.4.5 Unique Factorization of Integers Theorem
Theorem 4.5.1 The Quotient-Remainder Theorem
Div/mod
Theorem 4.5.2 The Parity Property
Any two consecutive integers have opposite parity. (if one is odd, other is even)
METHOD OF PROOF BY DIVISION INTO CASES
If A1, then C,
If A2, then C,
o
If An, then C.
Theorem 4.5.3
The square of any odd integer has the form 8m11 for some integer m
Lemma 4.5.4 Lemma 4.5.5
Theorem 4.5.6 The Triangle Inequality
Define floor/ceiling
Theorem 4.6.1
For every real number x and every integer m, [x + m] = [ x ] + m where [ ] is ceiling notation
Theorem 4.6.2 The Floor of n/2
Theorem 4.6.3
Theorem 4.7.1
There is no greatest integer.
Theorem 4.7.2
There is no integer that is both even and odd.
Theorem 4.7.3
The sum of any rational number and any irrational number is irrational.
Proposition 4.7.4 by contraposition and contradiction
For every integer n, if n2 is even then n is even.
