Question | Answer |
Factor | An integer that divides evenly into another integer. (2X6=12; 2 and 6 are factors of 12) |
Product | The result of multiplication. (factor X factor = product) |
Integer | Whole numbers and their opposites (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2) |
Divide | To separate into even groups |
Multiply | The operation of repeated addition (4X3 is the same as 4+4+4) |
Quotient | The result of division (dividend/divisor = quotient) |
Prime Number | A number that has exactly two different positive factors, itself and one. (7, 13, 23, etc.) |
Composite Number | A number that has more than two factors (8 has 4 factors: 1X8;2X4) |
Common Factor | A number that is a factor of two or more numbers (1,2,3, and 6 are common factors of 18 and 24) |
Mathematics | The study of the measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets, using numbers and symbols |
Associative Property of Multiplication | The product stays the same when the grouping of factors is changed. (6X4)X2 is the same as 6X(4X2) |
Commutative Property of Multiplication | The product stays the same when the order of the factors is changed. (8X5=5X8) |
Prime Factorization | A way to write a number as the product of prime factors. The prime factorization of 12 is 2X2X3. |
