Composite Numbers
The whole numbers which are multiples of 2 are called even
numbers.
The whole numbers which are not multiple of 2 are called odd
numbers.
The natural numbers which have only two divisors are called
prime numbers.
The natural numbers which have more than two divisors are called
the composite numbers.

Great Common Divisors
Two numbers may have several common divisors. The largest
(GCD)
among them is called the greatest common divisors (g.c.d) of the
numbers.

G.C.D. is also known as the highest common factor (H.C.F.)

The order in the ratio is very important.
For example, the ratio of number of boys to number of girls is different from the ratio of the
number of girls to the number of boys.

Arithmetic Progression: An Arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers in which each
term except the first is obtained by adding a fixed number to the immediately preceding term.
This fixed number is called the common difference.

Geometric Progression: It means each term of the sequence except the first is obtained by
multiplying the preceding term by a constant factor. Such a sequence is called Geometric
progression. The constant factor is called common ratio (C.R).
