15. Divisible
Are 0.1.2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 - and 9-the numbers you see on a telephone. GMAT math problems might ask you either to count digits or supply a missing digit. Try counting the digits in 2654.189. There are seven.
To add and subtract exponents - both the base and the power must be the same. If they are - just add or subtract as you normally would. So - 3x^2+5x^2=8x^2
When a number can be divided evenly by another number - it is said to be divisible by that number. So 6 is divisble by 3 - but is not divisible by 4. The GMAT - however is more likely to ask you whether 728 is divisible by 4. ( Yes it is)
