What is numbers?
Numbers are symbols or words which represent quantity of something for example in form 1B there are forty four students.
i.e. 44 students
1 , 1 is called tens and is written as 1 
10 and 3 is called hundreds written as 3 
100.
100 +1 x 10 + 6 
1 this form is called expanded form.The system where numbers are in groups of ten is called base ten numerations or decimal system numeration.The place value of every digit in decimal system numeration is ten times the place value of the next to the right.

1:2 NATURAL AND WHOLE NUMBERS
Natural numbers
Natural numbers are the ones that begin with 1,2, 3 to infinity.
They are counting number, they are denoted by N
Number line of natural numbers.
Whole numbers
Are the ones that begin by 0, 1, 2, 3, to infinity? They are denoted by W, in a number line.
Even, odd and prime numbers:-
Even: are natural numbers which are divisible by 2 without remainder.
Example: - 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.
Odd:-
Odd numbers are natural numbers which are not divisible by 2, when they are divided by 2 they give remainder, so the answer is not a natural numbers.
E.g: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11…………………………………………
Prime numbers:-
Prime numbers are natural numbers which are divisible by one and by themselves. They are the ones with only two factors.
E.g. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 …………………..
Numbers up to one billion:
Ten Hundred Thousand Ten thousand Hundred thousand One million Ten million Hundred million One billion | 10 100 1,000 10,000 100,000 1,000,000 10,000,000 100,000,000 1,000,000,000 |

Operations with whole numbers:-
There are four operations which are addition, subtraction , multiplication and division.
Addition (plus) (+):-
Horizontal addition
E.g. 254 + 369 =623
14796 + 230 + 14 =15030
Vertical addition:-
The answer obtained after adding is called sum.
Subtraction ( - ) (minus):-
Horizontal subtraction
E.g. 2349610 - 1396789 =952821
129 - 98 =31
The answer obtained after subtracting numbers is called Difference.
Vertical subtraction:-
Multiplication /Times (x)
a 
b = c
a = Multiplicant
b = Multiplier
c = Product
There are two types of Multiplication
Horizontal multiplication
E.g 2486 
7 = 17402
E.g 126 
8 = 1008
Vertical – multiplication:-
b = divisor
c = quotient
Short division
Q = 735 remainder 4
The number that divides is called divisor
The number to be divided is called dividend.
The answer obtained after division is called Quotient.
The left over upon division is called Remainder.
e.g. 29 ÷ 6 =
Word problems on whole numbers
1. E.g In a school garden there are four rows of cabbage with 12 in each row, six rows of tomatoes with eight in each row.
How many plants of each kind are there?
Solution:-
1 row = 12 cabbage
4 rows = x
x = 12 cabbages x 4 rows
x = 48 cabbages
1 row = 8 tomatoes
6 row = x
X = 8 tomatoes x 6 rows
X = 48 tomatoes
There are 48 cabbages plants
48 tomatoes plants
2.Two thousand four hundred shillings are deposited by a teacher each month, How much is this after two years?
Solution:-
2400shs = I month
1 year = 12 months
2 yrs = 24 months
2400shs x 24 months
∴ = 576000/=

1:4 FACTORS AND MULTIPLES OF NUMBERS
When a number divides exactly into another number, it is called a factor of a second number.
The second number is called a multiple of the first numbers.
e.g 16 ÷ 8 = 2 So 2 is the factor of 16 and 16 is the multiple of 2. Other factors of 16 are 8, 4, 1 and 16.
In general one (1) is a factor of every number and each number is a factor of itself.
- Factors of a number are numbers less than the given number.
- Factors are finite, and divisors of the given number.
- Multiple are number greater than the given number.
-They are infinite and dividend of a particular number.
PRIME FACTORIZATION
Is the process of writing numbers using their prime factors we use the short division in writing / factorization.
∴24=2×2×2×3
∴48=2×2×2×2×3
∴420=2×2×3×5×7
∴360=2×2×2×3×3×5
THE LOWEST COMMON MULTIPLES (LCM)
LCM is the short form of lowest or least common multiple .
E.g 2 = 2, 4 6 8 , 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24-……………
3 = 3, 6, 9, 12 15, 18, 21, 24 27, ……………….
Common multiples are = (6, 12, 18, and 24)
LCM = 6
E.g Find the lowest common multiples of 9, 18, 24
Soln
9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108, 117, 126………….
18 = 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180, 198…………………………
27 = 27, 54, 81, 108, 135, 162, 189………………………………….
PROPERTIES OF WHOLE NUMBERS
There are five properties of whole numbers.
1. Closure property (law)
When two or more whole numbers are operated by adding or multiplying the answer is also a whole numbers.
That is if a and b are whole numbers. Then a + b = c. C is also a whole number. a x b = d d is also a whole number.
E.g 4 + 6 = 10
3 
5 = 15
2. Commutative property:-
If a and b are whole numbers.
Then (i) a + b = b + a
(ii) a 
b = b 
a
E.g 3 + 4 = 7
4 + 3 = 7
Implies: 3 + 4 = 4 + 3
a+b=b+a
9 
6 = 54
6 
9 = 54
a 
b = b 
a
3. Association property:-
If a + b & c are whole number.
Then (i) (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
(ii) (a 
b) c = a 
( b x c)
2) 
5 = 8

2) 
5 = 4 (2 
5)4. Distributive property:-
b) + (a 
c)
(6 + 9) = 4 
15 = 60
(6 
9) = (4 
6) + (4 
9)
b) + (a 
c)5. Identity property:-
If A is a whole number,
Then (i) a + 0 = 0 + a = a
0 is called an identity of addition
(ii) a 
1 = 1 
a = a
1 is called and identity of multiplication.
Left hand column Right hand column
(a) 2 + (3 +5) (h) (2+3) + 5
(b) 1+ (2 +3 ) (i) (2 + 2) + 1
(c) 2+ (2 +1 ) (j) (8 +4 ) + 4
(d) 4+ (3 +5 ) (k) (1 + 2 ) + 3
(e) 1 + (1 +3) (l) (3 + 5) + 4
(f) 8 + (4 +4) (m) (1 + 1) + 3
(g) (1 + 3) + 1 (n) 1 + (1 + 3)
solution
a and h have Associative property
b and k have Commutative property
c and I have Associative property
e and m have Commutative property
f and j have Associative property
g and n have Commutative property.
2. By using properties of whole numbers give reasons why each of the following two expressions are equal.
(a) 5 + (6 + 7) = (7 + 6) + 5
- The answer to the two expressions will be the same because they numbers have commuted.
(b) (8 + 3) + 4 = 8 + ( 4 + 3)
- When you solve this you will get the same answer because of the exchange of the numbers.
(c) 5 + (2 + 1 ) = 1 + ( 3 + 2)
- In this expression, we have seen that they are two different expressions so you cannot get the same answer from the two.
(d) (5 + 3) + 2 = 3 + ( 2 + 5)
- In this two expression you can get the same answer because only the position of numbers and brackets as the one that has changed.
3. Telling / writing equal expressions;-
(a) 2 
(5 
3) = (2 
5) 
3 - Associative property
(b) 4 
(3 
5) = (4

4. Why is it permitted to write 3 x 2 x 5 x 9 without any brackets?
Because even if they are written without brackets they don't destroy the meaning of the question / statement.

1:5 INTEGERS
The integers are whole numbers from negative infinity to positive infinity. They are denoted by Z.
The order of the size of the number 1, 2, 3, 4……. Can be represented as points on a number line
Starting from 0 to the right and other numbers from 0 to the left
Number line for Z
If we want to know which number is larger than the other we have to consider which one is to the right or left
Consider the following
e.g. write down all the integers between -5 and 4
Solution
Example: present on a number line
-3
