Divisibility Rules |
Quick ways to determine divisibility: A number is divisible by 2 if it terminates with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0. A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are divisible by 4. A number is divisible by 5 if it terminates with 5 or 0. A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3. A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits are divisible by 8. A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of digits is divisible by 9. A number is divisible by 10 if it terminates with 0. |

Square Roots |
|||||
Perfect Squares | To do well on most square root tasks you should memorize
most of the ones listed below. See more squares... |
||||
What is a square root? | The square root of a number is easy to spot when the number
is formatted as a square. For example, when formatting 9 as a square: 9 = 32, it is easy to see the "root" of the square is 3. The identified root of such a square is called a "square root" or "radical". The method to find the square root of a is as follows: Step 1: Step 2: format a as a square, ask yourself, what number squared will give you a: a = b2 Step 3: replace a in the original expression Step 4: Conclude that: Thus the problem of square-rooting becomes a much simpler problem of formatting a number as a square. If in doubt, check the table of perfect squares above. CAVEAT: If a number cannot be formatted as a perfect square, we typically use a calculator, as the algorithm to extract a decimal square root is more complicated. |
||||
Sorting Square Roots |
How do we know this is true for sure? Check out the Radical function below (in this case a radical of order II = square root) and notice the function is continuously rising. As long as a is "earlier" than b on the horizontal number line, the result of the square root is also "earlier" on the vertical number line. Drag a and b tto experiment on the demonstration below. (Click on the image to experiment with this graph). Since any number can be fitted between two perfect squares, you can easily estimate roughly, approximations of the square root of all such numbers. Here is an example: All the numbers n between 64 and 81 are larger than 64 and smaller than 81: Thus the square root of any number between 64 and 81 must be between 8 and 9. You can use this technique to place the approximate roots of any radicals (square roots) between two consecutive known perfect squares. |

A fly lands on the outside of a cylindrical drinking glass 6 cm from the top. Diametrically opposite the fly and 7 cm from the bottom, but on the inside of the glass, there is a drop of honey. The glass has circumference 24 cm, height 10 cm. Find the shortest path, in cm, that the fly must walk on the surface of the glass to reach the honey.
