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 imperial fractions?

Yards, feet, and inches are all part of the Imperial measurement system, so a 1/4 of an inch is described as an imperial 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 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 are irrational numbers?

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Examples include π (pi) and √2 (the square root of 2).

What is a mean (average)?

The mean, or average, is calculated by adding all the numbers in a set and dividing by the total number of values. For example, the mean of 3, 4, and 5 is (3 + 4 + 5)/3 = 4.
