What are whole numbers?

Whole numbers are numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. Whole numbers do not have a decimal point or fractional part. Whole numbers are always positive. Negative numbers are not considered whole.

What are mixed numbers?

A mixed number is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction.

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 a proportion?

A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal. For example, 1/2 = 2/4 shows a proportional relationship.

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 percentage as a fraction?

A percentage can be written as a fraction by placing it over 100 and simplifying. For example, 20% = 20/100 = 1/5.
