Question Answer Note/Hint
Factor or Divisor = Any integer that leaves no remainder (i.e a reaminder of 0) when it is dvided into another integer:1, 2, 5, 10 are the factors (or divisors) of 10
Prime Number A positive integer that has exactly two divisors. The first few primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 (not 1)
bm bn

b raise to m, b raise to n =

(squ a) =
sq a * sq a
To compare two fractions convert them to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator
To multiply two fractions, Multiply their numberator and multiply their denominators

3/5 * 4/7 = 3*4/5*7 = 12/35
To divide any number by a fraction Multiply that number by the reciprocal of the fraction

3/5 divided by 2/3 = 3/5* 3/2 = 9/10
To add or subtract fraction with different denominators, f first rewrite the fraction as equivalent fractions with the same denominator:
1/6+3/4 = 2/12 + 9/12 = 11/12
Percent increase of qty = Actual increase
------------ * 100%
Original amount
Percent decrease of qty = Atcual decrease
---------- * 100%
Original amount
Ratio of 2 to 3 = 2/3 or 2:3

Percent Formula
Part =
Percent * Whole
The 3 exterior angles of a triangle add up to 360 degrees
In any triangle, the sume of the measure os the three angles is 180 degrees
x+y+z = 180
In any triangle

1) The longest side
= is the opposite the largest angle
2) the shortest side = is the opposite the smallest angle
3)Sides with the same length = Are opposite angles with the same measure
In a 45-45-90 right triangle, the sides are = X, X, and X square 2
In a 30-60-90 right triangles, the sides are = X, X Square 3 and 2X
Area of Right trinagle = 1/2 * base * height
Area of an equilateral triangle with equal sides = 2
S * Square 3
---------
4
In any quadrilateral, the sume of the measures of the four angles = 360 degrees
For Parallelogram
Area =
Base * Height
Perimeter of Pallelogram = 2(a + b)
Area of Rectangele = Length * Width
Perimeter of Rectangel = 2(L + W)
Area of a Square = 2
S
Area of a square can also be = 1 2
- d
2
Perimeter of a square = 4s (s = sides)
Diameter of a circle = 2* radiuis
Circumference of a Cirle = PI * D = 2 PI R
Area of a circle = 2
PI r
Length of an Arc (n/360) * (2PI r)
Area of a sector, if n is the degree measure of the sector's central angle = 2)
(n/360) * (PI r

PI * R square
Surface Area of Rectangular = 2(LW +LH + WH)= 2LW +LH +2 WH
Suface Area of cube = 6e square

6 * e square
Volume of a cylider = PI * R square * height
Surface of a cylinder = 2PI r h
Volume of a Rectangular solid = L * W * H
Volume of a cube = 3
L * L * L = L
Average speed = Total Distance
----------
Total time
Average A per B = Total A
-----
Total B
Probability formula

Probability =
Number of Favorable Outcome/
Total no. of Possible Outcomes
If E is impossible, then P(E) = 0
If it is certain that E will occur, then P(E)= 1
In all other cases 0 <P(E)<1
The probability that the even E will not occur = 1- P(E)
