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 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 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 square root?

The square root of a number is a value when multiplied by itself, gives that number. For example, the square root of 9 is 3 because 3 × 3 = 9.
