To me, the most difficult part of the material was understanding the Euclidean Algorithm. The process was a little bit confusing to me and I also don't entirely understand what it does.
One thing pointed out in this chapter that connected with something else from mathematics is that every integer not equal to +/-1 or 0 is the product of primes. This fact is utilized in simplifying radicals. Also, I found these sections interesting because I can see how having a better understanding and stronger foundation of these topics will help me to be a better secondary math educator because it will help me to piece together different algorithms and general math truths.
