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 is the Least Common Multiple (LCM)?

The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of each of the given numbers. For example, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.

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 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.

What is a median?

The median is the mid value in a set of numbers when the numbers are arranged in order. If there are two middle numbers, the median is the average of those both those numbers.

What are rounding decimals?

Rounding decimals means adjusting a number to a given place value. For example, rounding 3.186 to two decimal places gives 3.19. Note that last digit which is 6 is closer to 10 than 1 so the digit before it which is 8 move up a value to 9.
