    Study Notes

    • Mixed Number: A combination of a whole number and a fraction, representing values greater than one whole.
    • Reciprocals: A pair of numbers whose multiplication results in one; e.g., the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
    • Fraction: A numerical representation indicating a part of a whole, expressed as a numerator over a denominator.
    • Numerator: Represents the number of parts being considered in a fraction, located above the fraction line.
    • Denominator: The divisor in a fraction, indicating how many equal parts the whole is divided into, located below the fraction line.

    Mathematical Concepts and Operations

    • Order of Operations: Follows the acronym PEMDAS to determine the sequence of operations in calculations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction.
    • Product: The result obtained from multiplying two or more numbers together.

    Factors and Multiples

    • Greatest Common Factor (GCF): The largest factor that is common to two or more numbers, used to simplify fractions and solve problems involving divisibility.
    • Least Common Multiple (LCM): The smallest multiple shared by two or more numbers, useful for finding common denominators in fraction addition or subtraction.
    • Area: The total square units needed to cover a surface, calculated using the formula: Area = Length x Width.
    • Length: The measurement of distance between two points, used as one of the dimensions in area calculation.
    • Width: The side-to-side measurement of an object, also used in calculating area alongside length.
