2 WHOLE NUMBERS
INTRODUCTION :
Ø Whole Numbers : The natural numbers along with zero are called whole numbers, denoted by W.
∴ W = {0, 1, 2, 3, ......}
Ø The smallest whole number is ‘0’ and the largest number can not be determined.
Ø All natural numbers are whole numbers.
Ø The difference between any two consecutive whole numbers is ‘1’.
Ø Every whole number has a successor. Every whole number except zero has a predecessor.
Ø Adding two whole numbers always gives a whole number similarly multiplying two whole numbers
always gives a whole number. We say that whole numbers are closed under addition and also under
multiplication.
Ø Whole numbers are not closed under subtraction and under division.
Ø Division by zero is not defined.
Ø 0 is the additive identity and 1 is the multiplicative identity of whole numbers.
Ø Representation of whole numbers on the number line :
In order to represent whole numbers on a number line, we draw a straight line and mark a point 0 on
it. Starting from 0 represent the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ......... etc on the line at equal distances to the
right of the number 0.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ....................
Ø Properties of addition:
1. Closure Property: The sum of two whole numbers is always a whole number i.e., if a and b are
whole numbers, then a + b is also a whole number
Example : 10 + 6 = 16 is also a whole number
2. Commutative property: If a and b are two whole numbers then a + b = b + a
Example : 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 5
3. Existence of additive identity: If a is any whole number then a + 0 = 0 + a = a
Example : 15 + 0 = 0 + 15 = 15
4. Associative Property: If a, b, c are any three whole numbers, then (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
Example : (2 + 5 )+ 7 = 2 + (5 + 7) = 14
Ø Properties of Subtraction:
Property 1 : If a and b are whole numbers then a – b is a whole number if a > b or a = b. If a < b
then a – b is not a whole number.
Example 1: 9, 5 are two whole numbers and 9 > 5
So, 9 – 5 = 4 is a whole number.

VI Class - CBSE Mathematics - Part - I

Example 2 : 5, 9 are two whole numbers and 5 < 9

So, 5 – 9 = – 4 is not a whole number.
Property 2 : If a and b are two whole numbers then a – b is not equal to b – a.
Example : 9, 5 are two whole numbers
9 – 5 = 4 is a whole number, but 5 – 9 = – 4 is not a whole number.
∴ 9–5 ≠ 5–9
Property 3 : If a, b and c are whole numbers and c is not equal to 0 then a- (b - c) ≠ (a - b)- c
Example : 20 – (15 – 3) = 20 – 12 = 8
and, (20 – 15) – 3 = 5 – 3 = 2
∴ 20 – (15 – 3) ≠ (20 – 15) – 3
Property 4 : If 0 is subtracted from a whole number then the result is the number itself.
Example : 15 – 0 = 15
Property 5 : If a, b, c are whole numbers such that a – b = c then b + c = a
Example : 25 – 8 = 17. Also 8 + 17 = 25
Ø Properties of Multiplication :
1. Closure Property : If a and b are two whole numbers then their product a × b is also a whole
number.
Example : 9 × 6 = 54 is a whole number
2. Commutative Property : The product of two whole numbers multiplied in any order is the same.
i.e, If a, b ∈w, then a × b = b × a
Example : 17 × 6 = 102 = 6 × 17
3. Associative Property: If a, b and c are whole numbers then a × (b × c) = ( a × b) × c
Example : 2 × (3 × 4) = 2 × 12 = 24
(2 × 3) × 4 = 6 × 4 = 24
∴ 2 × (3 × 4) = (2 × 3) × 4
4. Multiplicative Identity: If ‘a’ is any whole number, then a × 1 = 1× a = a
Example: 6 × 1 = 1 × 6 = 6
∴ '1' is the Multiplicative identity.
5. Multiplication by zero: If ‘a’ is any whole number then a × 0 = 0 × a = 0
Example : 6 × 0 = 0 × 6 = 0
Ø Distributive Property of multiplication over addition : If a, b, c are any three whole numbers then
i) a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
ii) (b + c) × a = b × a + c × a
Example : i) 2 × (3 + 4) = 2 × 3 + 2 × 4
=6+8
= 14
ii) (5 + 6) × 2 = 5 × 2 + 6 × 2
= 10 + 12
= 22

Ø Properties of Division :
Property 1 : If a and b are unequal non - zero whole numbers, then a ÷ b is not necessarily a whole
number.
Property 2 : If a is any whole number, then a ÷ 1 = a.
Property 3 : If a is any whole number, then a ÷ a = 1.
Property 4 : Zero divided by any whole number gives the quotient as zero.
Example : 0 ÷ 5 = 0
Property 5 : Let a, b, c are three whole numbers and b ≠ 0, c ≠ 0. If a ÷ b = c, then b × c = a.
Example : 12 ÷ 4 = 3
∴ 3 × 4 = 12
Property 6 : Let a, b, c are three whole numbers and b ≠ 0, c ≠ 0.
If b × c = a, then a ÷ c = b and a ÷ b = c.
Example : 12 = 3 × 4
∴ 12 ÷ 3 = 4 and 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Ø Division Algorithm: If a whole number ‘a’ is divided by a non - zero whole number ‘b’, then
there exists whole numbers q and r such that a = bq + r, where either r = 0 or, r < b.
Here
a is called dividend b a q
b is called divisor
r
q is called quotient
r is called remainder
∴ Dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder

SOLVED EXAMPLES
1. Write the successor and predecessor of each of the following numbers :
i) 1000 ii) 400099 iii) One million
Sol: i) The successor of 1000 is (1000 + 1) = 1001
The predecessor of 1000 is (1000 – 1) = 999.
ii) The successor of 400099 is (400099 + 1) = 400100
The predecessor of 400099 is (400099 – 1) = 400098.
iii) We have,
1 Million = 10,00,000
∴ Successor of 1 Million = 1000000 + 1 = 1000001
Predecessor of 1 Million = 1000000 – 1 = 999999
