Key Math Concepts
-
Prime Factorization
- Represents a composite number as a product of its prime factors.
- Essential for simplifying fractions and finding GCF.
-
GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
- The largest factor shared by two or more numbers.
- Useful in simplifying fractions and solving problems involving divisibility.
-
Rational Number
- Any number that can be expressed as a fraction or quotient of two integers.
- Includes integers, fractions, and terminating or repeating decimals.
-
Factor
- Whole numbers that can be multiplied together to yield another number.
- Each number has multiple factors; for example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
-
Exponents
- Notation that indicates how many times a number (the base) is multiplied by itself.
- For example, (2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8).
-
Divisibility
- A condition indicating that one integer can be divided by another without leaving a remainder.
- Helps in determining factors and performing simplifications in mathematics.
