GED Math Notes: Number Properties, Fractions, Decimals, Percents, Integers

1. Number Properties

- Commutative Property: a + b = b + a, a x b = b x a

- Associative Property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

- Distributive Property: a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c

- Identity Property: a + 0 = a, a x 1 = a

- Inverse Property: a + (-a) = 0, a x (1/a) = 1 (a not equal 0)

- Even & Odd: even +/- even = even, odd x odd = odd, even x any = even

2. Fractions

- Simplifying: divide numerator and denominator by GCF

- Adding/Subtracting: use common denominators

- Multiplying: multiply numerators and denominators

- Dividing: multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction

3. Decimals

- Place values: tenths, hundredths, thousandths...

- Adding/Subtracting: align decimal points

- Multiplying: ignore decimals first, count decimal places later

- Dividing: move decimal to make divisor a whole number

4. Percents

- Percent means 'per 100' (e.g., 25% = 25/100 = 0.25)

- Convert between percent, fraction, and decimal:

50% = 1/2 = 0.5

- Finding a percent: part = percent x whole

- Increase/Decrease: final = original x (1 +/- percent)

5. Integers

- Integers include positive, negative whole numbers, and 0

- Adding: same signs, add and keep sign; different signs, subtract and keep sign of larger

- Subtracting: change to adding the opposite

- Multiplying/Dividing:

same signs = positive, different signs = negative
