Frequently asked math questions, including decimals and fractions

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

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 proper fractions?

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

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 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 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.

How do you convert a fraction to a decimal?

A fraction can be converted to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example, 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. Check out our fraction page for lots of examples on how to convert fractions into decimals.
