We are talking about a very fundamental and basic topic
here in this article, Number System. Quantitative Aptitude
begins with the concept of Number System. Let us
understand the most important points in Number System
first.
What all you should know?
You should know the following things to get a hold on
Number System:
1. Types of Numbers
2. What are Prime numbers
3. Properties Of Numbers
4. Properties of Integers
5. Decimals and Fractions
6. Exponents
7. Divisibility Rules
8. Factorization
9. LCM and HCF
10. Remainder Theorem
Introduction: The number system that we use is the
decimal number system that has ten numbers from 0 to
9. It can be represented in a number line as shown
below.
Types of numbers:
There are many kinds of numbers each having its own
properties and hence different from others. The following
are the different kinds.
• Complex Numbers
- Real and Imaginary Numbers
• Real Numbers
- Rational and Irrational numbers (also Decimals)
• Rational numbers
- Integers and Fractions
• Integers
- Even and Odd (Negative & Positive) and Whole numbers
• Whole Numbers
- Zero and Natural Numbers
• Natural Numbers
- Even & Odd Numbers (and also Prime & Composite
Numbers)
Fractions:
A fraction has two parts namely a numerator and a
denominator to denote the parts of a whole number.
Points to remember:
- 1 is neither a prime nor a composite number but an odd
number not even.
- 2 is the lowest prime number and the only even prime
number
- 3 is the lowest odd prime number
- When a prime number greater than or equal to 5 (> 5) is
divided by 6, it gives a remainder of either 1 or 5. But any
number greater than or equal to 5 (> 5) when divided by
6, giving remainder of either 1 or 5 is not necessarily
prime.
- All prime numbers can be represented by the form (6x +
1) or (6x - 1). Any number that can be represented in the
form (6x + 1) or (6x - 1) is not necessarily a prime
number.
Remainder Theorem:
If the product of numbers (P X Q X R X S) is divided by
N, then the remainder will be equal to that of the product
of the individual remainders when divided by the same
dividend.
Few Divisibility Rules:
All whole numbers are divisible by 1.
All even numbers are divisible by 2.
A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5 and is a
non-zero number.
In order to check the divisibility of a number by a
composite number, divide the composite divisor into
prime factors and then check for its divisibility with each.
For example, to check the divisibility of a number with
12, break down 12 into 3 and 4.

Brief Introduction of Data Science !

  What is Data Science? Data science is a deep study of the massive amount of data, which involves extracting meaningful insights from raw, structured, and unstructured data that is processed using the scientific method, different technologies, and algorithms. It is a multidisciplinary field that uses tools and techniques to manipulate the data so that you can find something new and meaningful. Data science uses the most powerful hardware, programming systems, and most efficient algorithms to solve the data related problems. It is the future of artificial intelligence. In short, we can say that data science is all about: Asking the correct questions and analyzing the raw data. Modeling the data using various complex and efficient algorithms. Visualizing the data to get a better perspective. Understanding the data to make better decisions and finding the final result. Example: Let suppose we want to travel from station A to station B by car. Now, we need to take some decisions such ...

Brief of Large Language Model !

  A large language model refers to a type of artificial intelligence (AI) model that has been trained on a vast amount of textual data to understand and generate human-like text. These models use deep learning techniques, particularly deep neural networks, to process and analyze language patterns, semantics, and grammar. Large language models, such as GPT-3.5 from OpenAI, are designed to handle a wide range of natural language processing tasks, including text generation, translation, summarization, question answering, and more. They can understand and generate coherent text based on the context provided to them. These models are trained on massive datasets that contain a diverse range of text sources, such as books, articles, websites, and other written materials. During training, the models learn to identify patterns, extract information, and generate relevant responses or text based on the input they receive. Large language models have the potential to assist with various tasks,...
