Common Factors


The common factors of two or more whole digits is the biggest whole digit that equally divides all the whole digits. There are two methods to find common factors in math.

The initial method is to list all the factors of each digit. Then decide the biggest factor.
For Example:
Find the common factors of 12 and 18.
The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.
The factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18.
The common factors of 12 and 18 are 1, 2 and 3.

Methods for Finding Common Factors

There are two methods to find the common factors of numbers. Listed below are the steps to be followed in finding common factors.
Method I:
  • List all the factors of the numbers.
  • Collect the common factors among each digit.
Method II:
  • Find the prime factors of each digit.
  • Merge the common terms of each digit.

Examples

Listed Below are some of the examples in finding the common factors.
Example 1:
What are the Common factors of 34 and 36?
Solution:
The factors of 34 are 1, 2, 17, and 34.
The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.
Now, using method 1,
The common factors to the two numbers are 1 and 2.
The Common factors of 34 and 36 are 1 and 2.
Example 2:
What are the common factors of 40, 45 and 50?
Solution:
Prime factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40.
Prime factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15 and 45
Prime factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50.
Now, using method 2,
The common factors of 40, 45 and 50 are 1, 2 and 5.

Factoring With Fractions


Factoring is the process of finding the factor of the given function. It is otherwise called as divide the given function as two separate part. We can factor the function more than two times. Fractions are also used in factoring process. Fraction means it has some numerator and denominator values. Both the numerator and denominator values are different. Now in this article, we see about ac factoring with fractions and their example problems.

Example problems for Ac factoring with fractions

Ac factoring with fractions example problem 1:

Factorize the given polynomial fraction equation `(1 / 6)` x2 - `(7 / 6)`x  - 20 = 0

Solution:

Given equation is `(1 / 6)` x2 - `(7 / 6)`x  - 20 = 0

For converting the above fraction equation in normal quadratic function,

Multiply the given equation by 6 on both the sides, we get

x2 - 7x - 120 = 0

Factorize the above equation, we get

x2 - 15x + 8x - 120 = 0

Grouping the first two terms and next two terms, we get

(x2 - 15x) + (8x - 120) = 0

x (x - 15) + 8 (x - 15) = 0

(x - 15) (x + 8) = 0

The factors are (x - 15) and (x + 8)

Answer:

The final answer is (x - 15) and (x + 8)

Ac factoring with fractions example problem 2:

Factorize the given polynomial fraction equation `(1 / 9)` x2 - `(4 / 3)` x + ` (11 / 9)` = 0

Solution:

Given equation is `(1 / 9)` x2 - `(4 / 3)` x + ` (11 / 9)` = 0

For converting the above fraction equation in normal quadratic function,

Multiply the given equation by 9 on both the sides, we get

x2 - 12x + 11 = 0

Factorize the above equation, we get

x2 - 11x - x + 11 = 0

Grouping the first two terms and next two terms, we get

(x2 - 11x) + (- x + 11) = 0

x (x - 11) - 1(x - 11) = 0

(x - 11) (x - 1) = 0

The factors are (x - 11) and (x - 1)

Answer:

The final answer is (x - 11) and (x - 1)

Ac factoring with fractions example problem 3:

Factorize the given polynomial fraction equation `(1 / 2)` x2 - `(11 / 2)` x + 14 = 0

Solution:

Given equation is `(1 / 2)` x2 - `(11 / 2)` x + 14 = 0

Multiply the given equation by 2 on both the sides, we get

x2 - 11x + 28 = 0

Factorize the above equation, we get

x2 - 7x - 4x + 28 = 0

Grouping the first two terms and next two terms, we get

(x2 - 7x) + (- 4x + 28) = 0

x (x - 7) - 4 (x - 7) = 0

(x - 4) (x - 7) = 0

The factors are (x - 4) and (x - 7)

My forthcoming post is on Rules for Dividing Integers and class 11 cbse books will give you more understanding about Algebra.

Answer:

The final answer is (x - 4) and (x - 7)

Non linear Differential Equations


An ordinary differential equation is an differential equation in For instance (i)dy/dx = x + 5 (ii) (y′)2 + (y′)3 + 3y = x2 which  is a single independent variable enters either explicitly or implicitly are all ordinary non linear differential equations And now we see about the non linear differential equations.

Non linear differential equations in First order

Order and degree of a non linear differential equations:

Definition of non linear differential equations :

The order of an differential equation is the order of the highest order derivative occurring in it. The degree of the differential equation is the highest order derivative which occurs in it, after the differential equation has been made free from radicals and fractions as far as the derivatives are concerned.The degree of a non linear differential equation does not require variables like r, s, t … to be free from radicals and fractions.

Find the order and degree of the following differential equations:

ii) y = 4dy/dx + 3xdx/dy

y = 4dy/dx + 3xdx/dy  y = 4(dy/dx) + 3x 1/(dy/dx )

Making the above equation free from fractions involving

dy/dx we get y .dy/dx = 4(dy/dx)2 + 3x 2Highest order = 1

Degree of Highest order = 2

(order, degree) = (1, 2)

Problem for non linear differential equations:

Formation of non linear differential equations :

Form the differential equation from the following equations.

y = e2x (A + Bx)

ye−2x = A+ Bx … (1)

Since the above equation contains two arbitrary constants, differentiating

twice, we get y′e−2x − 2y e−2x = B

{y′′e−2x − 2y′ e−2x} − 2{y′e−2x − 2y e−2x} = 0

e−2x {y′′ − 4y′ + 4y} = 0 [‡ e−2x ≠ 0]

y′′ − 4y′ + 4y = 0 is the differential equation.

Non linear Differential equations of first order and also first degree :

Solve: 3ex tan y dx + (1 + ex) sec2y dy = 0

`=>` 3 log (1 + ex) + log tan y = log c

`=>` log [tan y (1 + ex)3] = log c

`=>`   (1 + ex)3

required solution to the problem is tan y = c

Radicals and Exponents


The opposite operation to the exponent is known as radical. A radical is an expression which contains the square roots, cube roots etc. For example the expression √49 can also be called as square root of 49 or root of 49. Radicals have the same property of the numbers. The simplification is to reduce the numbers and reduce the power of variables inside the roots.

Exponent of a number shows you how many times the number is to be used in a multiplication.  It is shown as a small number to the right and above the base number.  In this example: 22 = 2 × 2 = 4 ( Another name for exponent is index or power ).

Please express your views of this topic Fraction Exponents by commenting on blog.

Examples for Radicals:

Example 1 for radical problem:

Simplify the radical:    √ (144) / (√36)

Step 1: Factors of 144 = 12 × 12

√ (144) = √ (12 × 12)

= √122

Step 2: Square root of 122 = 12

Step 3: Factors of 36 = 6 × 6

√ (36) = √ (6 × 6) = √62

Step 4:  √62 = 6

Step 5: so, √ (144) / √36) = 12 / 6

The answer of the given radical is 12 / 6
Example 2 for radical problem:

Simplify the radical:    3√8 × √12

Step 1: Find the factor of 8 = 2 × 2 × 2

Step 2: Take cubic root of 8 = 2

Step 3: Find the factor for 12 = 2 × 2 × 3

Step 4: Take square root of 12 = 2 √3

Step 5: so, 3√8 × √12 = 2 × 2 √3

The answer for the given radical is = 4√3

Examples for exponents:

EXAMPLE-1:

453 . 454 = 453+4 = 457

EXAMPLE-2:

148 / 145  = 14 8-5 = 143

EXAMPLE-3:

( 92 )3  = 9 2x3  = 96

EXAMPLE-4:

( 11 / 13 )2  = 112 / 122
