However, you may also be interested in other number systems used by ancient cultures. THE EGYPTIAN NUMBER SYSTEM There is archaeological evidence that as long ago as 3600BC the Egyptians were using a detailed number system. The symbols used to represent numbers were pictures of everyday things. These symbols are some of their hieroglyphics or ‘sacred picture writings’. The Egyptian number system is an example of a base ten system because each symbol stands for ten of the previous symbols. 1 10 100 1000 10 000 100 000 staff hock scroll lotus flower bent stick burbay fish This system does not have place values as our system does. For example, 214 could be written as or 1 000 000 astonished man or This system needs many symbols for certain numbers, such as 999. DISCUSSION ² How would you represent the number 645 or 7013? ² What number is represented by ? THE ROMAN NUMBER SYSTEM The Romans used the following symbols for their number system: 1 5 10 50 was was was was represented by represented by represented by represented by 100 was represented by C 500 was represented by D 1000 was represented by M I V X L Unlike the Egyptian system, this system did have to be written in order as the value would change if the order changed. magenta yellow 95 VI stands for 1 after 5 or 6. 100 50 75 25 0 5 95 100 50 75 25 0 5 95 100 50 25 0 5 95 100 50 75 25 0 5 cyan 75 IV stands for 1 before 5 or 4, whereas For example, black Y:\HAESE\SA_08-6ed\SA08-6_01\010SA08-6_01.CDR Thursday, 26 October 2006 1:57:43 PM PETERDELL SA_08-6 WHOLE NUMBERS The system could be simplified to use less symbols. For example, 14 is written XIIII or XIV. The Roman Empire spread to many parts of the world. Roman numbers are still used today on some watches and clocks, and they are sometimes used to write dates on buildings and memorials. 11 (Chapter 1) XI XII X II IX VIII VII I III VI IV V DISCUSSION ² ² How would you represent the number 645 or 7013? What number is represented by CXVII? Any study of Mathematics starts with these questions about numbers. How do we write them and how do we use them or operate with them? OPENING PROBLEM A sixteen storey hotel with floors G, 1, 2, 3, ....., 15 has no accommodation on the ground floor. On the even numbered floors (2, 4, 6, ......) there are 28 guest rooms and on the odd numbered floors there are 25 guest rooms. Room cleaners work for four hours each day, during which time each cleaner can clean 12 guest rooms. Each cleaner is paid at a rate of $16 per hour. Consider the following questions: ² How many floors are odd numbered? ² How many guest rooms in total are on all the odd numbered floors? ² If each guest room has three chairs, how many chairs are on an even numbered floor? ² How many guest rooms are in the hotel? ² How many cleaners are required to clean all guest rooms assuming the hotel was ‘full’ the previous night? ² What is the total cost of hiring the cleaners to clean the guest rooms of the hotel? Problems like the one above require an understanding of numbers, their properties, and the operations between the numbers. WORDS WE USE Many words used in mathematics have special meanings and we should not avoid using them. It is important to learn what each word (or phrase) means and to use it correctly. When we write any number, we write some combination of the ten symbols: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0. These symbols are called digits. cyan magenta yellow 95 100 50 75 25 0 5 95 100 50 75 25 0 5 95 100 50 75 25 0 5 95 100 50 75 25 0 5 The numbers we use for counting, such as 1, 2, 3, 10, 100, 550 000 etc, are usually called the counting numbers. black Y:\HAESE\SA_08-6ed\SA08-6_01\011SA08-6_01.CDR Thursday, 26 October 2006 1:57:52 PM PETERDELL SA_08-6 12 WHOLE NUMBERS (Chapter 1) The mathematical name for the counting numbers is the natural numbers. The set of these natural numbers is endless. There is no largest natural number. We say the set of all natural numbers is infinite. If we add the number zero (0) to the set of natural numbers, then our new set is the set of whole numbers. A THE NUMBER SYSTEM A method of writing numbers is called a number system. The system we use was developed in India 2000 years ago and introduced to Europe by Arab traders about 1000 years ago. We therefore call our system the Hindu-Arabic system. There are three features which make this system useful and more efficient than other systems such as those used by the Egyptians or Romans. ² ² It uses only 10 digits to construct all the natural numbers. It has a place value system where digits represent different numbers when placed in different place value columns. It uses the digit 0 to indicate a void in a place value. ² The combined digits we use to represent numbers are called numerals. The digits 5 and 3 combine to form both the numeral 53 for the number “fifty three” and the numeral 35 for the number “thirty five”. PLACE VALUES The place (or position) of a digit in a number determines its value. For example, 5378 is really 5 thousand 5000 3 hundred 300 + Reminder: and + seventy 70 1 10 100 1000 units tens hundreds thousands eight 8 + this is expanded form ten thousands hundred thousands millions ten millions Example 1 Write in numeral form the number “three thousand, two hundred and seven”.

For example, we can estimate the distance to the sun, or the population of Earth. One way of doing this is to round off numbers. We may round off numbers by making them into, for example, the nearest number of tens. 157 is approximately 16 tens or 160 153 is approximately 15 tens or 150 We say 157 is rounded up to 160 and 153 is rounded down to 150. We can use the symbol + or ¼ to mean “is approximately equal to”. + and » are both used to represent the phrase ‘is approximately equal to’. Thus, 157 + 160: When a number is halfway between tens we always round up, i.e., 155 + 160. ROUNDING RULES The rules for rounding off are: ² If the digit after the one being rounded off is less than 5 (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4) we round down. ² If the digit after the one being rounded off is 5 or more (i.e., 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9) we round up.

It is a quick and easy approximation of the correct answer. black SA_08-6 16 WHOLE NUMBERS (Chapter 1) By making an estimate we can tell if our answer is reasonable, particularly when we are using our calculator and may have entered the numbers incorrectly. When estimating we usually round to the first digit and put zeros in the other places. Example 4 Self Tutor Find the approximate value of 7235 £ 591. We round off to the first digit and put zeros in the other places. 7235 £ 591 + 7000 £ 600 + 4 200 000 The estimate tells us the correct answer should have 7 places in it.

For example, the sum of 3 and 16 is 3 + 16 = 19. ² To find the difference between two numbers, we subtract the smaller from the larger. For example, the difference between 3 and 16 is 16 ¡ 3 = 13. ² When adding or subtracting zero (0), the number remains unchanged. For example, 23 + 0 = 23, 23 ¡ 0 = 23. ² When adding several numbers, we do not have to carry out the addition in the given order. Sometimes it is easier to change the order.

PRODUCTS AND QUOTIENTS ² The word product is used to represent the result of a multiplication. For example, the product of 3 and 5 is 3 £ 5 = 15. ² The word quotient is used to represent the result of a division. For example, the quotient of 15 ¥ 3 is 5. ² When multiplying, changing the order can often be used to simplify the process. ² Multiplying by one (1) does not change the value of a number. For example, 17 £ 1 = 17, 1 £ 17 = 17. ² Multiplying by zero (0) produces zero. For example, 17 £ 0 = 0. ² Division by zero (0) is meaningless. We say it is undefined. For example, 0 ¥ 4 = 0 but 4 ¥ 0 is undefined. Neither the Egyptians nor the Romans had a symbol to represent nothing. The symbol 0 was called zephirum in Arabic. Our word zero comes from this.
