Prime Numbers

What is prime number?

Prime number is a positive natural number that has only two positive natural number divisors: 1 and itself.
The number 1 is not a prime number by definition - it has only one divisor.
The number 0 is not a prime number - it is not a positive number and has infinite number of divisors.
The number 15 has divisors of 1,3,5,15 because:
15/1=15
15/3=5
15/5=3
15/15=1
So 15 is not a prime number.
The number 13 has only two divisors of 1,13.
13/1=13
13/13=1
So 13 is a prime number.

Is 0 a prime number?

The number 0 is not a prime number.
Zero is not a positive number and has infinite number of divisors.

Is 1 a prime number?

The number 1 is not a prime number by definition.
One is has one divisor - itself.

Is 2 a prime number?

The number 2 is a prime number.
Two has 2 natural number divisors - 1 and 2:
2 / 1 = 2
2 / 2 = 1

Percent to Fraction Conversion and viceversa

How to convert percent to fraction

One percent is equal to one hundredth:
1% = 1/100
So in order to convert percent to fraction, divide the percent by 100 and reduce the fraction.
For example 56% is equal to 56/100 with gcd=4 is equal to 14/25:
56% = 56 / 100 = 14 / 25

How to convert fraction to percent

To convert a fraction to percent, multiply the fraction by 100%.
For example, 100% times the fraction 4/5 is equal to 80%:
100% × 4/5 = 80%

Decimal to percent conversion and viceversa

How to convert decimal to percent

1% = 1/100, so in order to convert decimal number to percent, it should multiplied by 100%:
0.01 = 1/100 = 1%
0.05 = 5/100 = 5%
0.3   = 30/100 = 30%
0.35 = 35/100 = 35%
3.5   = 350/100 = 350%

How to convert percent to decimal

In order to convert percent to decimal number, the percent should be divided by 100:
1% = 1/100 = 0.01
5% = 5/100 = 0.05
10% = 10/100 = 0.1
35% = 35/100 = 0.35
50% = 50/100 = 0.5
100% = 100/100 = 1
230% = 230/100 = 2.3

Fraction to Decimal Conversion

How to convert fraction to decimal

For example, in order to get a decimal fraction, 3/4 is expanded to 75/100 by multiplying the numerator by 25 and denominator by 25:
3 3x25 75

=
=
= 0.75
4 4x25 100
Other method is to do long division of 3 divided by 4.

Decimal to Fraction Conversion

How to convert decimal to fraction

  1. Count the number of digits (d) to the right of the decimal point of the decimal number x.Example: 2.56 has 2 digits to the right of the decimal point, so d=2.
  2. Calculate the factor (f) for making the decimal number an integer:
    f = 10d
    Example:
    f = 102 = 100
  3. Multiply and divide the decimal number x by the factor f:
    x × f / f  =  y / f
    Example:
    2.56 × 100 / 100 = 256 / 100
  4. Find the greatest common divisor (gcd) of the fraction. Example:
    gcd(256,100) = 4
  5. Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the gcd value:Example:
    256 / 100 = (256/4) / (100/4) = 64/25

Percentage (%)

Percentage is per-cent which means parts per hundred.
One percent is equal to 1/100 fraction:
1% = 1/100 = 0.01
Ten percent is equal to 10/100 fraction:
10% = 10/100 = 0.1
Fifty percent is equal to 50/100 fraction:
50% = 50/100 = 0.5
One hundred percent is equal to 100/100 fraction:
100% = 100/100 = 1
One hundred and ten percent is equal to 110/100 fraction:
110% = 110/100 = 1.1

Percent sign

The percent sign is the symbol: %
It is written to the right side of the number: 50%

Percentage Definition

Percentage is a value that represents the proportion of one number to another number.
1 percent represents 1/100 fraction.
100 percent (100%) of a number is the same number:
100% × 80 = 100/100×80 = 80
50 percent (50%) of a number is half of the number:
50% × 80 = 50/100×80 = 40
So 40 is 50% of 80.

Percentage of a Value Calculation

x% of y is calculated by the formula:
percentage value = x% × y = x × y / 100
Example:
Find 40% of 200.
40% × 200 = 40 × 200 / 100 = 80

Percentage Calculation

The percentage of x from y, is calculated by the formula:
percentage% = (x / y) × 100
Example:
The percentage of 30 out of 60.
30 / 60 × 100 = 50%

Percentage Change (increase/decrease)

Percentage change from x1 to x2 is calculated by the formula:
percentage change = 100 × (x2 - x1) / x1
When the result is positive, we have percentage growth or increase.
Example:
Percentage change from 60 to 80.
100 × (80 - 60) / 60 = 33.33% increase
When the result is negative, we have percentage decrease.
Example:
Percentage change from 80 to 60.
100 × (60 - 80) / 80 = -25% decrease
