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 improper fractions?

Improper fractions are fractions where the numerator (the top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (the bottom number). Example 3/2

What are prime numbers?

Prime numbers are numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors: 1 and themselves. Examples include 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and so on.

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 is a terminating decimal?

A terminating decimal is a decimal number that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point. For example, 0.35 and 3.5 are terminating decimals.

What is a repeating decimal?

A repeating decimal is a decimal in which a digit or group of digits repeats infinitely. For example, 0.3333... (where 3 repeats forever) and 0.142857142857... (where 142857 repeats) are repeating decimals.
