Factors are numbers that divide a given number completely leaving no remainder. For example factors of 12 are 1 2 3 4 6 and 12. They help in simplifying fractions finding common multiples and solving various mathematical problems. Understanding factors is essential for learning concepts like prime numbers HCF and LCM.
Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 focuses on Real Numbers covering topics like Euclid’s Division Lemma prime factorization and the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. It explores rational and irrational numbers HCF and LCM through examples. This chapter strengthens problem-solving skills for CBSE Exam 2024-25 and builds a foundation for advanced concepts in mathematics ensuring clarity in number systems and their applications.
