Fractions

When one integer is divided by another, it is fraction for example

3/5 or 4/10 and many more.

Here in these examples 3 and 4 are numerators and 5 and 10 are denominators.

Factors and product

In the multiplication of two integers with each other these two integers are referred to as factors and the result of their multiplication is called as product.

For example in
5 x 2 = 10

5 and 2 are factors and 10 is product.

Integers

Integers are all of the counting numbers. They are represented by "I" i.e.
....,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3.....

They may be positive or negative. Integers that are multiples of 3 are called as even numbers or integers. Moreover 0 is also called as an even number/integer e.g.....,-6,-4,-2,0,2,4,6,......

The numbers other than these are odd integers.

Remainder is that integer which remains at the end of division of one number by another.

(This article give some study about the numbers in GRE preparation)

Action

Spend in the Way of Allah. Do not cast yourselves into destruction. And do good: Allah loves good-doers. (195)
(Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), Surah # 2: Ayah #195)

Do not be like those who split up and differed after the Clear Signs came to them. They will have a terrible punishment. (105)
(Surah Al ‘Imran (The Family Of 'Imran, The House Of 'Imran), Surah # 3: Ayah # 105)

Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the people who guard against evil. (133)
(Surah Al ‘Imran (The Family Of 'Imran, The House Of 'Imran), Surah # 3: Ayah # 133)

Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him. Be good to your parents and relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and to neighbours who are related to you and neighbours who are not related to you, and to companions and travellers and your slaves. Allah does not love anyone vain or boastful. (36)
(Surah An-Nisa’(Women), Surah # 4: Ayah # 36)

You who believe! Do not make forbidden the good things Allah has made lawful for you, and do not overstep the limits. Allah does not love people who overstep the limits. (87)
(Surah Al-Ma’ida (The Table, The Table Spread), Surah # 5: Ayah # 87)

Abandon those who have turned their religion into a game and a diversion and who have been deluded by the life of this world. Remind by it lest a person is delivered up to destruction for what he has earned with no protector or intercessor besides Allah. Were he to offer every kind of compensation, it would not be accepted from him. Such people are delivered up to destruction for what they have earned. They will have scalding water to drink and a painful punishment because they disbelieved. (70)
(Surah Al-An’am (The Cattle), Surah # 6: Ayah # 70)

Abandon wrong action, outward and inward. Those who commit wrong action will be repaid for what they perpetrated. (120)
(Surah Al-An’am (The Cattle), Surah # 6: Ayah # 120)

Say: ‘Come and I will recite to you what your Lord has made forbidden for you’: that you do not associate anything with Him; that you are good to your parents; that you do not kill your children because of poverty–We will provide for you and them; that you do not approach indecency– outward or inward; that you do not kill any person Allah has made inviolate–except with the right to do so. That is what He instructs you to do so that hopefully you will use your intellect. (151) And that you do not go near the property of orphans before they reach maturity–except in a good way; that you give full measure and full weight with justice– We impose on no self any more than it can bear; that you are equitable when you speak–even if a near relative is concerned; and that you fulfill Allah’s contract. That is what He instructs you to do, so that hopefully you will pay heed. (152) This is My Path and it is straight, so follow it. Do not follow other ways or you will become cut off from His Way. That is what He instructs you to do, so that hopefully you will guard against evil. (153)
(Surah Al-An’am (The Cattle), Surah # 6: Ayah # 151-153)

Do not rely on those who do wrong thus causing the Fire to afflict you, for you have no protector besides Allah; then you will not be helped. (113)
(Surah Hud (The Prophet Hud), Surah # 11: Ayah # 113)

Proclaim what you have been ordered to and turn away from the idolaters. (94)
(Surah Al-Hijr, Surah # 15: Ayah # 94)

Allah commands justice and doing good and giving to relatives. And He forbids indecency and doing wrong and tyranny. He warns you so that hopefully you will pay heed. (90)
(Surah An-Nahl (The Bee), Surah # 16: Ayah # 90)

A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend. (34) None will obtain it but those who are truly steadfast. None will obtain it but those who have great good fortune. (35)
(Surah Fussilat (Expounded) or HA MIM, Surah # 41: Ayah # 34-35)

You who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. Do not make your actions of no worth. (33)
(Surah Muhammad or Surah Al-Qital (The Fighting), Surah # 47: Ayah # 33)

You who believe! Have fear of Allah and let each self look to what it has sent forward for Tomorrow. Have fear of Allah. Allah is aware of what you do. (18) Do not be like those who forgot Allah so He made them forget themselves. Such people are the deviators. (19)
(Surah Al-Hushr (The Mustering), Surah # 59: Ayah #18-19)
