Class 7 Maths Integers: Natural Numbers
Natural Numbers
Numbers that come naturally to us are Natural numbers.For example, 1,2,3, 4,…
Count the number of fingers in your hand 1,2,3,4……10, these are natural numbers.
Suppose you have 5 chocolates and now you give one chocolate to one of your friend, now you are left with four, similarly you distribute remaining four
to other friends, hence you are left with no chocolate or zero chocolate.
Whole Numbers
Note: The whole numbers start with 0 while natural numbers start with 1,2,3,4..
Examples: Suppose you borrow one chocolate from your elder brother then you will have one chocolate and that should be counted as -1.
In the Antarctica region the temperature goes well below 0, the temperature usually over there is -10
Class 7 Maths Integers What are integers
What are integers?
10 or 18
-10 or 18
-10 or -18
Solution:
a) 18 is larger than 10.
b) 18 is larger than -10
c) -10 is larger than -18,
These can be proved on a number line
Class 7 Maths Integers Integer on number Line
Integer on number Line
Note: The numbers on right hand side are always bigger than the numbers on the left hand side.
For example:
To represent a number on number line we mark the circle on the number line, suppose you need to represent -2, 0 and 2 on number line you put
circle over the number.
Closure Property:
Example:
–15 + (–10) = -25 (–10) + (–15) = -25 Both statements are equal
Associative Property:
(-a)x(-b)=ab i.e two negative integer when multiply gives positive number.
(-a)x(b)=-ab i.e one positive and one negative integer when multiply gives negative number.
Tip: Find the product then a give sign according to the case mentioned above.
(-2)x(-3)
(-3)x6
2x4
4x(-6)
Solution: a. (-2)x(-3) = 6
b. (-3)x6 = -18
c. 2x4 = 8
d. 4x(-6) = -24
Note: If the numbers of negative sign is even then the sign is positive and if the number of negative sign is odd then the sign of a number is negative.
Multiplication by 0:
0x(-2)=0
Multiplicative Identity(1):
When we multiply 1 with the number the result will be the number itself i.e. ax1=a.
Example: 1 x 3 = 3
2x1=2
3x1=3
-10 x 1 = -10
Closure under Multiplication: If we multiply two integers “a, b” the product of two integers will always an integer.
The below example proves that.
Statement-1 Inference
Commutative of Multiplication:
For any two integers a and b, axb= bxa.
Example:
Distributive Property:.
For three integers a, b and c,
a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c
a x (b - c) = a x b – a x c
Example:
(–21) × [(– 4) + (– 6)] = 210 [(–21) × (– 4)] + [(–21) × (– Both statements are equal
6)]=210
We get,
i.e 4/2=2
Division by zero(0)
Commutative Property: In Division“a b b a”. Hence, division does not follow Commutative Property
Example: -15 3 = -5 But, 3 = 1/5 they are not equal
Associative Property: Division does not follow Associative Property.
