A | B |
Divisible | A number is divisible by a second number if the second number divides the first with no remainder. |
Theoretical Probability | List all possible outcomes and compare the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. |
Composite Numbers | A whole number greater than 1 with more than two factors. |
Prime Factorization | A composite number written as a product of its prime factors. |
Factor | A factor is a whole number that divides another whole number with no remainder. |
Multiple | A multiple of a number is the product of that number and a nonzero whole number. |
Greatest common factor | the greatest common factor that two or more numbers share. For example; 1, 2, 3, and 6 are common factors of 12 and 30, but 6 is the greatest common factor. |
Least common multiple | the least multiple that two or more numbers share. Common multiples of 6 and 8 include 24, 48, and 72, but 24 is the least common multiple. |
Exponent | a number that tells how many times the base number is used as a factor. For example, 34 indicates that the base number 3 is used as a factor 4 times. To determine the value of 34, multiply 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 which would give the result 81. |
Reciprocal | two numbers whose product is 1, such as 2/3 and 3/2 |
Variable | a symbol (usually a letter) that stands for a number |
Equation | a mathematical sentence with an equal sign |
Proportion | A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal. |
Solid | a three-dimensional figure |
Face | flat surface of a solid |
Cylinder | - three-dimensional figure with two circular, parallel and congruent bases |
Pyramid | three-dimensional figure with only one base |
Cone | a three-dimensional figure with one circular base and one vertex |
Area | the amount of space on one side of an object. (L x W) |
Prime Numbers | A whole number greater than 1 with exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. |
Surface Area | the sum of the area of the faces of a three-dimensional figure |
Volume | the number of cubic units needed to fill the space inside a three-dimensional figure |
Experimental Probability | collect data through observations or experiments and compare the number of times an event occurs to the number of experiments. |
Perimeter | the distance around an object. (add up all the sides) |
