📘 REAL NUMBERS – COMPLETE NOTES 📘 1. What are Real Numbers? All numbers that can be represented on a number line are called real numbers. 👉 Includes: Natural numbers (1, 2, 3…) Whole numbers (0, 1, 2…) Integers (…–2, –1, 0, 1, 2…) Rational numbers (fractions like 1/2, 3/4) Irrational numbers (√2, π) 📘 2. Euclid’s Division Lemma A very important concept! 👉 It states: For any two integers a and b (b ≠ 0) , there exist integers q and r such that: a = bq + r, \quad 0 \le r < b Where: a = dividend b = divisor q = quotient r = remainder
📘 3. Euclid’s Division Algorithm (for HCF) Used to find HCF (Highest Common Factor) of two numbers. Steps:
√ π 📘 8. Proof: √2 is Irrational (Important) Assume √2 is rational → √2 = p/q (in lowest form) Squaring: 2 = p²/q² → p² = 2q² 👉 So p² is even → p is even Let p = 2k Substitute: (2k)² = 2q² → 4k² = 2q² → q² = 2k² 👉 So q is also even 👉 But p and q both even → not in lowest form ✔️ Contradiction 👉 Therefore, √2 is irrational 📘 9. Revisiting Irrational Numbers Sum of rational + irrational = irrational Product of non-zero rational × irrational = irrational Rapid 100 Questions
