So 16=4 or -4 b/c both (4)^2 and (-4)^2=16 you cannot add these unless they have a common root. so 2+2=2 but 2+3 doesn't equal 5. To multiply and divide just treat them as regular integers: 6x3=18 or 3/2 basically they're subject to the same rules as
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)
Is the most basic expression of parts of a whole.For example. if a whole pizza has 8 slices and James eats 3 - he has eaten 3/8 of the pizza.
