Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

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

What are proper fractions?

Proper fractions are fractions where the numerator (the top number) is less than the denominator (the bottom number). Example 2/3

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 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 decimal?

A decimal is a number that includes a decimal point, representing a fraction of a whole. For example, 0.5 represents 1/2.

What is a decimal place?

A decimal place refers to the position of a digit to the right of the decimal point. For example, in 3.141, the digit 1 is in the thousandths place.

What is a fraction bar?

A fraction bar is the horizontal line that separates the numerator and denominator in a fraction. It also represents division. For example, in 2/4, the fraction bar means 2 divided by 4.
