Real number maths formulas include important theorems, algorithms, and Euclid’s division lemma to learn more about real numbers.
Euclid’s Division Lemma
Theorem: For given positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r satisfying,
a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b.
Algorithm: Series of well-defined steps which gives a procedure for solving a type of problem
Lemma: Proven statement used for proving another statement
HCF using Euclid’s Division Algorithm
Finding HCF of two number c and d where c > d
Step 1: Apply division lemma to get the whole numbers (q and r) such that, c=dq+r, 0≤r
Step 2: If r=0, d is the HCF of c and d. If r ≠0, apply division lemma to d and r.
Step 3: Continue the process till the remainder is zero. The divisor at the final stage will be HFC.
Theorem of Arithmetic
Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of primes, and this factorisation is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur.
The prime factorisation of a natural number is unique, except for the order of its factors.
For any two positive number p and q, HCF (p,q) x LCM (p,q) = p x q
Rational Number Theorems
If p is a prime number and a is a positive integer, then if p divides a2, the p also divides a.
√2 is irrational
If x is a rational number whose decimal expansion terminates, then x can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are coprime, and the prime factorisation of q is in the form 2n5m, when n,m are non-negative integers.

Linear Equations:
An equation between variables that produce a straight line when plotted on a graph is called linear equation.
No. of variables
Equation
Condition
1
ax+b=0
a & b are real numbers, a≠0
2
ax+by+c=0
a,b,c are real numbers and a≠0, b≠0
3
ax+by+cz+d=0
a,b,c,d are real numbers and a≠0, b≠0, c≠0
Pair of linear equations:
Two linear equations in the same two variables are called a pair of linear equations in two variables.
in two variables
a1x+b1y+c1=0 a2x+b2y+c2=0
a1,b1,c1 & a2,b2,c1 are real numbers and a12 + b12 ≠ 0, a22 + b22 ≠ 0.
Graphical Method of solving pair of linear equations
It is represented by two lines on the graph.
Consistent pair of equations: If the lines intersect at a point, then that point gives the unique solution of the two equations.
Dependent (consistent) Pair: If the lines coincide, then there are infinitely many solutions – each point on the line being a solution.
Inconsistent Pair: If the lines are parallel, then the pair of equations has no solution.
Algebraic Method
Substitution Method:
Find the value of one variable, say y in terms of the other variable, i.e., x from either equation, whichever is convenient.
Substitute this value of y in the other equation, and reduce it to an equation in one variable, i.e., in terms of x, which can be solved.
If this statement is true, you can conclude that the pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions. If the statement is false, then the pair of linear equations is inconsistent.
Substitute the value of x (or y) obtained in Step 2 in the equation used in Step 1 to obtain the value of the other variable.
Elimination Method
Multiply both the equations by a number(non-zero) to make the coefficient of one variable equal. Let us say is y.
Subtract the equation to eliminate variable y, and find the value of x
Substitute the value of x in one of the equations to get the value of y.
Cross-Multiplication Method
Multiply Equation (1) by b2 and Equation (2) by b1, to get new equations.
b2a1x + b2b1y + b2c1 = 0 eq. 3
b1a2x + b1b2y + b1c2= 0 eq. 4
Subtract eq.4 from eq. 3 to get
(b2a1– b1a2) x + (b2b1– b1b2)y + (b2c1– b1c2) = 0
Find the value of x from there and put it in eq. 1 or eq. 2 to find value of y.
Quadratic Equations Formulas for Class 10
Solve quadratic equation problems by using Quadratic Equations Maths Formulas for class 10. Learn about finding solutions and roots of the equations.
Quadratic equation in the form of variable x is of the form ax2+bx+c=0, where a,b,c are real numbers and a≠0.
Solution of Quadratic Equation by Factorisation
For any quadratic equation, split the middle term and factorize the equation into two linear factors
Equate each factor to zero
e.g., 2x2-5x+3=0 can be factorize to linear terms as 2x2-2x-3x+3=0 or 2x(x-1)-3(x-1)=0
Thus, (2x-3)(x-1)=0 or x=1,3/2. Hence, 1 and ½ are roots of the equation.
a real number α is called a root of the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c =0, a ≠ 0 if aα2+ bα + c =0.
Roots of Quadratic Equation:
For an equation ax2+bx+c=0,
Two distinct real roots: if b2– 4ac > 0,
Two equal roots: if b2– 4ac=0
No real roots: if b2– 4ac <0

Arithmetic Progression
list of numbers in which each term is obtained by adding a fixed number to the preceding term except the first term.
e.g., a1, a2, a3, . . ., an or 2,4,6,8,….., ∞
Term: Every number in the list is a term
Common Difference: The fixed number which is added to the terms to make the list. It can either be positive, negative or zero.
Common Difference (d) = an – an-1
General Form of AP

You are studying probability since class 7. Here you will find more probability maths formulas for class 10. Make sure to practice these questions well.
Experimental Probability
P(E) =
\(\frac{\text{Number of trials in which the event happened}}{\text{Total Number of trials}}\)
Theoretical Probability
P(E) =
\(\frac{\text{Number of outcomes favourable to E}}{\text{Number of all possible outcomes of the experiment}}\)
Where, E is an event.
For an event E,
P (\(\overline{E}\)) = 1 — P(E), where \(\overline{E}\) denotes “not
E” or the complement of event E.
Important Points:
The sum of the probabilities of all the elementary events of an experiment is 1
The probability of any impossible event is 0
Probability of an event that is sure to occur is 1. Such event is called a sure event or certain event.
