Representation of Integers on a Number Line
A number line is a straight
line representing negative and positive numbers. In number line the numbers are
placed at regular intervals and numbers to the right are greater than the
numbers to the left. Again the numbers on the left are smaller than the numbers
on the right. It is very helpful and easier to determine which numbers are
bigger and smaller by seeing on a number line. In a number line the positive
numbers are represented on the right side of zero and negative numbers are
represented on the left side of zero.
It can be concluded that the numbers on a number line are arranged in ascending order (that is smaller to bigger) when considered from left to right.
Now here are few examples showing the representation of integers on a number line.
1. Represent + 3 on a number line
Each place on the number line is marked as 1 unit. As, we know that numbers on the right of zero are positive and to the left are negative. Hence +3 on the number line will fall on the right side of zero and we have to jump 3 places to reach +3
2. Represent -2 on the number line.
Each place on the number line is marked as 1 unit. As, we know that numbers on the right of zero are positive and to the left are negative. Hence -2 on the number line will fall on the left side of zero and we have to jump 2 places to reach -2.
3. Represent +6 on a number line.
Each place on the number line is marked as 1 unit. As, we know that numbers on the right of zero are positive and to the left are negative. Hence +6 on the number line will fall on the right side of zero and we have to jump 6 places to reach +6
4. Represent -8 on a number line.
Each place on the number line is marked as 1 unit. As, we know that numbers on the right of zero are positive and to the left are negative. Hence -8 on the number line will fall on the left side of zero and we have to jump 8 places to reach -8
Therefore, this is how we can represent negative and positive integers on a number line.

Divisible by 10|Test of Divisibility by 10|Rules of Divisibility by 10
The divisibility rule of 10 states that If the last digit of a number is 0 then the given number is divisible by 10. For eg: Check whether 5400 is divisible by 10 or not? Solution: As the last digit of the number is 0 hence, 5400 is divisible by 10
Divisible by 9 | Test of Divisibility by 9 |Rules of Divisibility by 9
This rule states that a number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits of the number is divisible by 9 For eg: Check whether 729 is divisible by 9 or not? Sum of the digits = 7 + 2 + 9 = 18 Now 18 is divisible by 9 hence, 729 is also divisible by 9 Here are few examples
Divisible by 8 | Test of Divisibility by 8 |Rules of Divisibility by 8
The most common method to check whether a number is divisible by 8 is to divide and see if the quotient is a whole number or not? If the quotient is a whole number then the given number is divisible by 8. But there is an easier way to check by using the divisibility rule.
Divisible by 7 | Test of Divisibility by 7 |Rules of Divisibility by 7
This rule states that if the difference between twice the digit at units place and the number formed from the remaining digits of the given number is divisible by 7 then the whole number is divisible by 7.
