Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

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

What are simple or reduced fractions?

Simple or reduced fractions are fractions whose top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) cannot be any smaller, while still being a whole number. That is to say, the number can no longer be divided by any number other than one while still being a whole number. 1/3 is a good example of a fully reduced fraction.

What are prime numbers?

Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors: 1 and themselves. Examples include 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and so on.

What are composite numbers?

Composite numbers are numbers that are greater than 1 and have more than two factors. For example, 6 is a composite number because it has factors 1, 2,3 and 6.

What is a ratio?

A ratio is a relationship between two numbers that shows how many times one value is contained within another. For example, the ratio 3:1 means there are 3 parts of one quantity for every 1 part of another.

What is a median?

The median is the mid value in a set of numbers when the numbers are arranged in order. If there are two middle numbers, the median is the average of those both those numbers.

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.
