Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

Read the following section to help deepen your understanding of basic math concepts.

What does the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) mean?

The greatest common factor is also referred to as the highest common factor. In math, this refers to the greatest common divisor of two or more whole numbers (also known as integers). In simple terms, this is the biggest number that can divide evenly into two or more numbers. For example, the GCF for 4 and 8 is 4.

What is the Least Common Multiple (LCM)?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the given numbers. For example, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.

What are rational numbers?

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the fraction of two integers, such as 3/4, -5/2, or 0.75.

What is an absolute value?

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero. For example, the absolute value of -20 is 20.

What is a repeating decimal?

A repeating decimal is a decimal in which a digit or group of digits repeats infinitely. For example, 0.3333... (where 3 repeats forever) and 0.142857142857... (where 142857 repeats) are repeating decimals.

What are rounding decimals?

Rounding decimals means adjusting a number to a given place value. For example, rounding 3.186 to two decimal places gives 3.19. Note that last digit which is 6 is closer to 10 than 1 so the digit before it which is 8 move up a value to 9.
