Factorisation is the process of breaking down a number or an algebraic expression into smaller parts that when multiplied together give the original. It helps simplify equations solve problems and find common factors. For example 12 can be factorised as 2 x 2 x 3 and x² – 4 as (x – 2)(x + 2).
Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 focuses on Real Numbers covering key concepts like Euclid’s Division Lemma prime factorisation and the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. It explores rational and irrational numbers HCF and LCM through examples. This chapter prepares students for CBSE Exam 2024-25 by building a strong foundation in number theory and its applications in solving problems effectively.
