.001 here the 3 represents number of PLACES behind the decimal, NOT zeroes
if n is a positive integer and the product of all the integers from 1 to n is divisible by 990, what is the least possible value of n?
1 to n = n! every prime factor of 990 must be a factor of n! so... prime factor 990.. pick the greatest number

rate problems - formula
D/W = R × T
Divisibility rules: 8
If the last 3 digits are divisible by 8
probability of a OR b
P(a) + P(b) - P(a&b)
permutations vs. combinations contd
a combination is when order DOESN'T matter. For example, you have 5 shirts, but only space for 3 shirts in your suitcase. To solve: 5 × 4 × 3 ÷ 3 × 2 × 1
permutations vs. combinations
a permutations is when order DOES matter. For example, when you have 3 seats available and 5 people. To solve: 5 × 4 × 3
difference of squares
a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

combined rates is just the sum of the rates
.0000516 in scientific notation
count digits up to the first non-zero: 5 5.16 x 10-⁵

count the digits after the first non-zero (in this instance the number of digits after the 7): 12 7.012 x 10¹²
number line: |a+b|
distance between a and -b on the # line ex: |x+1| ≤ 4 -1 would be the center, with 4 on either side so.. -5 to 3
number line: |a-b|
distance between a and b on the # line ex: |x-1| ≤ 4 +1 would be the center, with 4 on either side so.. -3 to 5
average speed is NOT the average of the speeds
it is total distance ÷ total time
for a prime to divide a factorial
it must be in the factorial
triangle inequality theorem
length of a side must be < sum of lengths of other 2 sides
multiples/factors
more multiples, fewer factors.
likelihood of a coin landing on heads and an even rolling a 6-sided die
multiply each likelihood = 1/2 x 3/6 = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4
probability of getting heads, tails, heads, in this exact order P (H,T,H)
multiply probability of each 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

Divisibility rules: 7
if the diff between 2x the ones digit & the remaining digits is a multiple of 7 ex: 672 → 67-2(2) = 63 = a multiple of 7 (chop the ones digit)
Divisibility rules: 11
if the diff between the sum of the digits in odd places & even places (left to right) is a multiple of 11 ex: 2,849→ (9+8) - (4+2) = 11-11 = 0 → counts as divisible by 11
