Which of the following is an even number?
5
12
17
9
Even numbers are integers divisible by 2 with no remainder. 12 divided by 2 equals 6. The other options all leave a remainder when divided by 2.
Which of the following is an odd number?
14
22
13
8
Odd numbers are integers that cannot be evenly divided by 2. Dividing 13 by 2 gives a remainder of 1. The other options divide evenly by 2.
Which of the following numbers is irrational?
√2
3/4
5
0.25
An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers and has a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal expansion. √2 is proven to be irrational. The other options can be written as ratios of integers.
Which of the following numbers is rational?
π
√5
7/8
√3
Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction of two integers. 7/8 is already in that form. The other numbers cannot be expressed as an exact integer ratio and result in non-repeating decimals.
Which of the following is a prime number?
15
23
21
27
A prime number has exactly two distinct positive divisors: 1 and itself. 23 is only divisible by 1 and 23. The other numbers have additional divisors.
Which number belongs to the set of whole numbers?
-1
0
1.5
3.2
Whole numbers include 0 and all positive integers without fractions or decimals. 0 is the only option that fits this definition. -1 is negative and the others are not integers.
Which of the following is a composite number?
13
17
49
19
A composite number has more than two positive divisors. 49 has divisors 1, 7, and 49. The other options only have two divisors, making them prime.
Which of the following is not an integer?
4
-5
7.2
0
Integers are whole numbers and their negatives without any fractional or decimal part. 7.2 has a decimal component, so it is not an integer. The other options are all integers.
When expressed in simplest form, which rational number has denominator 5?
6/5
2/3
√3
0.1
A terminating decimal whose fraction form in lowest terms has denominator 5 corresponds to values like 6/5. In simplest form, 6/5 has denominator 5. The other options either simplify differently or are not rational.
Which of the following numbers is both an integer and a rational number?
-3
2.5
√2
π
-3 is an integer and can be expressed as a fraction (-3/1), so it is rational. 2.5 is rational but not an integer, and √2 and π are irrational.
Identify the number that is both odd and prime.
9
15
19
21
Odd prime numbers are prime numbers that are not divisible by 2. 19 meets this criterion. The other odd numbers have divisors other than 1 and themselves.
The number represented by the repeating decimal 0.777... is classified as which type?
Rational
Irrational
Integer
Prime
A repeating or terminating decimal represents a rational number because it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. 0.777... equals 7/9. It is not an integer, irrational, or a prime classification.
Which number is in the sets of natural numbers (N), integers (Z), rational numbers (Q), and real numbers (R)?
√2
-1
1/2
5
Natural numbers are positive integers starting from 1. 5 is in all sets: N, Z, Q, and R. The other numbers either are not natural or not in one of the subsets.
Which of the following sets contains only irrational numbers?
{√2, π, e}
{2, 3, 5}
{1/2, 0.75}
{√3, 4}
√2, π, and e are classic examples of irrational numbers with non-terminating, non-repeating decimals. The other sets include integers or rational numbers.
Which subsets of real numbers does -4 belong to?
Natural numbers
Whole numbers
Integers, rational numbers, and real numbers
Irrational numbers
-4 is an integer and can be expressed as a ratio of integers, making it rational. Therefore, it is in the integers, rational numbers, and real numbers. It cannot be in natural or whole numbers, nor is it irrational.
The product √2 * √8 simplifies to 4. How is 4 classified in terms of prime and composite numbers?
Prime
Composite
Neither prime nor composite
Both prime and composite
Composite numbers have more than two divisors. Since 4 can be divided by 1, 2, and 4, it is composite. Prime numbers only have exactly two divisors, which 4 does not satisfy.
How is the number 1 classified in terms of prime and composite numbers?
Prime
Composite
Neither prime nor composite
Both prime and composite
By definition, prime numbers have two distinct positive divisors and composite numbers have more than two divisors. The number 1 has only one divisor (itself), so it is neither prime nor composite.
Which statement is true about the decimal expansion of 1/7?
It terminates
It repeats
It is non-repeating
It is irrational
The decimal expansion of any rational number like 1/7 either terminates or repeats. In this case, 1/7 yields a repeating pattern (0.142857...). That makes it rational, not irrational.
Consider a rational number p and an irrational number q. Which statement must be true about p + q?
p + q is rational
p + q is irrational
p + q is prime
p + q could be either rational or irrational
Adding a rational number to an irrational number always yields an irrational number because the non-repeating part cannot be canceled. Therefore p + q is irrational.
Which statement is true about the product of any two non-zero rational numbers?
It is always rational
It can be irrational
It is always an integer
It can be prime
The product of two rationals, each expressed as a fraction of integers, results in another fraction of integers. Thus the product remains rational. It is not necessarily an integer or prime.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Understand the Number Hierarchy - Dive into how numbers stack up from the countable naturals to the mysterious irrationals in an organized family tree. Recognizing natural, whole, integer, rational, and irrational sets helps you sort numbers like a pro. Think of it as meeting different number relatives at a big math party! Number Sets Guide
  2. Differentiate Between Rational and Irrational Numbers - Rational numbers are neat fractions or terminating decimals, while irrationals keep you guessing with never-ending, non-repeating decimals like π and √2. Knowing which side of the fence a number lives on sharpens your classification skills. It's like figuring out who loves patterns and who's a wild card! Rational vs Irrational
  3. Identify Prime and Composite Numbers - Primes are the VIPs with exactly two divisors: 1 and themselves. Composites are the social butterflies, divisible by more than two numbers. Remember, 1 is the unique wallflower - neither prime nor composite! Types of Numbers
  4. Recognize Even and Odd Numbers - Even numbers love pairings and split evenly by 2, while odds stand alone with a leftover 1. This simple split powers up divisibility tricks and quick mental math. Spotting evens and odds is your first step to faster problem-solving! Number Properties
  5. Explore Real and Complex Numbers - Real numbers cover every rational and irrational value you can think of - every point on the number line. Complex numbers bring in the imaginary team with an "i" part, opening doors to advanced physics and engineering. Embrace both to expand your mathematical superpowers! Real & Complex Numbers
  6. Apply Classification to Real-World Problems - Number types aren't just theory - they guide engineers, data analysts, and scientists every day. Knowing if a measurement is rational or irrational can change your calculation approach in architecture or coding. Real-world puzzles become easier when you tag numbers correctly! Practical Number Use
  7. Understand the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic - Every integer greater than 1 either stands alone as a prime or breaks down uniquely into prime factors. This theorem is the secret blueprint showing how all numbers are built. It's like discovering the LEGO instructions of arithmetic! Prime Factorization
  8. Learn About Special Number Types - Meet more exotic guests like Mersenne numbers (2❿−1) and perfect numbers (summing to their true self). These characters show up in cryptography, coding theory, and famous math mysteries. Exploring them adds flair to your number-theory toolkit! Special Numbers
  9. Practice Classifying Numbers - Build confidence by sorting examples: Is −3.5 rational or irrational? Is 15 prime or composite? Regular drills turn theory into instinct and get you exam-ready in no time. Turn your practice into play! Classification Exercises
  10. Utilize Visual Aids - Charts, Venn diagrams, and number wheels transform abstract sets into colorful maps. Visual tools help you spot overlaps, unique regions, and relationships at a glance. They're perfect study buddies for all visual learners! Number Classification Charts
