You might think it's not important to know that 2, 4 and 6 are even numbers. This is true when doing simple calculations such as 6 + 3. Whether they are odd or even has little bearing on the sum. However, if you want to go into a career where a thorough understanding of math is vital ~ and there are plenty of them ~ you'll need to know a lot more about numbers than how to do basic calculations.

Which words do not describe the numbers 2, 4, 6 and 8?

[x]	Odd numbers
[ ]	Even numbers
[ ]	Whole numbers
[ ]	Multiples of two

They are all whole even numbers and multiples of 2

Which words do not describe the numbers 3, 5, 7 and 9?

[x]	Even numbers
[ ]	Odd numbers
[ ]	Whole numbers
[ ]	Each number is two more than the previous number

They are all whole odd numbers, and each number is two more than then previous number

If a number is divisible by 10, what must the final digit of the number be?

[ ]	1
[ ]	5
[x]	0
[ ]	4

You can cancel the zero in the number with the zero in ten and write the answer straight away, e.g. 120 ÷ 10 = 12

What is meant by the following statement: 4 is a multiple of 48?

[ ]	Four has to be multiplied 48 times with itself
[ ]	Four is the square of 48
[x]	Four divides 48 exactly
[ ]	Four does not divide 48 exactly

If a number is a multiple of another number, then it divides the other number exactly a certain number of times, e.g. 4 divides 48 exactly 12 times because 12 × 4 = 48. Note: 2.8 is a multiple of 16.8 because 2.8 × 6 = 16.8: so the idea of 'multiples' also applies to decimal numbers

What do you always get when you add a positive whole number and a negative whole number?

[ ]	Either a positive or negative number
[ ]	A negative number
[ ]	A positive number
[x]	Either a positive number or negative number or zero

For example: 6 + -5 = 1 (a positive number); 6 + -7 = -1 (a negative number); 6 + -6 = 0 (zero). DON'T forget zero - it is a number

Which of the following is not a square number?

[ ]	64
[x]	48
[ ]	121
[ ]	81

A square number is formed by multiplying another number with itself : 64 = 8 × 8; 121 = 11 × 11; 81 = 9 × 9. Note: 1 × 1 = 1

Which of the following statements is wrong?

[ ]	If a number is a multiple of 8, it is divisible by both 2 and 4
[ ]	If a number is divisible by 2, it is an even number
[x]	If a number is divisible by 2, it is divisible by 4
[ ]	If a number is divisible by 4, it is divisible by 2

Not so, e.g. 2 × 9 = 18 BUT 18 is NOT divisible by 4. If you want to show that a statement is not always true, find one example that shows it is wrong - like we did here

Which of the following statements is wrong?

[ ]	For every positive number there is a negative number
[x]	There are more positive numbers than negative numbers
[ ]	The smallest non negative even number is 2
[ ]	The smallest non negative odd number is 1

Not so! For every positive number there is a negative number, e.g. 2 and -2, 1,000 and -1,000, 3.4 and -3.4: this goes on and on without end for every number you care to think of

If a number is divisible by 5, what must the final digit of the number be?

[x]	0 or 5
[ ]	5 only
[ ]	0 only
[ ]	1 only

For example, 130 (ends in zero) and 345 (ends in five) are both divisible by 5

10.

How can an odd number always be made into an even number?

[ ]	Add 2 to it
[ ]	Subtract 2 from it
[ ]	Divide it by 2
