SAT Math Must-Know Facts Formulas Numbers, Sequences, Factors Integers: . . . , -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . Rationals: fractions, that is, anything expressable as a ratio of integers Reals: integers plus rationals plus special numbers such as √2, √3 and π Order Of Operations: PEMDAS (Parentheses / Exponents / Multiply / Divide / Add / Subtract) Arithmetic Sequences: each term is equal to the previous term plus d Sequence: t1, t1 + d, t1 + 2d, . . . Example: d = 4 and t1 = 3 gives the sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, . . . Geometric Sequences: each term is equal to the previous term times r Sequence: t1, t1 r , t1 r2, . . . Example: r = 2 and t1 = 3 gives the sequence 3, 6, 12, 24, . . . Factors: the factors of a number divide into that number without a remainder Example: the factors of 52 are 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, and 52 Multiples: the multiples of a number are divisible by that number without a remainder Example: the positive multiples of 20 are 20, 40, 60, 80, . . . Percents: use the following formula to find part, whole, or percent percent part = × whole 100 Example: 75% of 300 is what? Solve x = (75/100) × 300 to get 225 Example: 45 is what percent of 60?
