GMAT数学解析:算术概述(1)

2008-11-10 
本文是GMAT考题中经常涉及到的数学—算术方面的问题。

    一.整数:integer,whole number
  1.因子:factor or divisor ks.
  If x and y are integers and x≠0,x is a divisor (factor) of y provided that y=xn for some integer n. In this case y is also said to be divisible by x or to be a multiple of x. For example, 7 is a divisor or factor of 28 since 28=7•4, but 8 is not a divisor of 28 since there is no integer n such that 28=8n.Divisible adj.可以被整除的  multiple n.倍数 ks.54yjs.cn
  2.商和余数:quotients and remainders
  余数和商都可以为0
  3.奇数和偶数:odd and even integers
   奇数和偶数都可以是负数;零一定是偶数
  4.质数和合数:prime numbers and composite numbers
   A prime number is a positive integer that has exactly two different positive divisors,1 and itself. For example, 2,3,5,7,11, and 13 are prime numbers, but 15 is not, since 15 has four different positive divisors, 1, 3, 5, and 15. The number 1 is not a prime number, since it has only one positive divisor. Every integer greater than 1 is either prime or can be uniquely expressed as a product of prime factors. For example, 14= (2) (7), 81= (3) (3) (3) (3), and 484= (2) (2) (11) (11).
  注:除了1和其本身外,还有其他因子的数叫合数。最小的质数为2,最小的合数为4,在讨论质数和合数时,都指正数。1和0既不是质数,也不是合数。
   5.整数中的重要概念:
   * Perfect square耆椒绞钊? = 32
  * Perfect cube 完全立方数,诸如8 = 23
  * the greatest common divisor 最大公约数
   几个数所公有的最大因子称最大公约数,诸如:48与36的公因子有1,2,3,4,6,12,其中12为最大公约数。
  * the least common multiple最小公倍数 ks.54yjs.c
  几个数所公有的最小倍数称最小公倍数,诸如:3,7和14的最小公倍数为42。
   *连续正整数的算术平均值也是首项和末项的算术平均值。
   同理,连续奇数与连续偶数的算术平均值也是首项和末项的算术平均值。
  * the properties of the number of factors因子个数的特性: ks.54yjs.cn
  1)当一个正整数n有奇数个因子,则n必为一完全平方数。 ks.54yjs.cn
  2)除了n的平方根为其中一个因子外,小于n的平方根的因子与大于n的平方根的因子数相同。
  3)当某一正整数n有偶数因子时,则n必不是完全平方数,且大于n的平方根的因子与小于其的因子数相同。
   *因子数的求解公式:将整数n分解为质因子相乘的形式,然后将每个质因子的幂分别加1之后连乘所得的结果就是n的因子的个数。
  例:80的因子个数可以如下方式求得:80 = 2 4•5,则因子个数为(4+1)(1+1)= 10

    二.分数:fractions
  分子:numerator
  分母:denominator
  分数的加减乘除:addition,subtraction,multiplication and division of fractions
  繁分数和假分数:mixed number and improper fraction
  繁分数是指一个数由一个整数和一个分数构成。
  假分数是指分子大于分母的分数。例如:7/3

  三.小数:decimals
  科学计数法:scientific notation
  Sometimes decimals are expressed as the product of a number with only one digit to the left of the decimal point and a power of 10. This is called scientific notation. For example, 231 can be written as 2.31×102 and 0.0231 can be written as 2.31×10-2. When a number is expressed in scientific notation, the exponent of the10 indicates the number of places that the decimal point is to be moved in the number that is to be multiplied by a power of 10 in order to obtain the product. The decimal point is moved to the right if the exponent is positive and to the left if the exponent is negative. For example, 20.13×103 is equal to 20,130 and 1.91×10-4 is equal to 0.000191.
  四舍五入:to the nearest
  小数点:decimal point琾eriod

  四.实数:real numbers
  正数和负数:positive and negative numbers
  绝对值:absolute value

  五.比率与比例:ratio and proportion
  一个比率ratio可以表示成许多方式,例如:the ratio of 2 to 3可以被表达为2 to 3,2:3,或者2/3。注意比率中的中项的顺序是重要的,即2 to 3和3 to 2不同。A proportion is a
  statement that two ratios are equal。例如:2/3=8/12是一个proportion。

    六.百分比:percent
  Percent means per hundred or number out of 100。
