exponenta number that tells how many times a factor is used
factora number multiplied with another number to get a product
productthe answer to a multiplication problem
sumthe answer to an addition problem
quotientthe answer to a division probleml
differencethe answer to a subtraction problem
prime numbera number with factors of 1 and itself
composite numbera number with more factors than 1 and itself
proper factorsfactors of a number excluding the number itself
abundant numbera number whose proper factors add up to more than the number
deficient numbera number whose proper factors add up to less than the number
perfect numbera number whose proper factors add up to exactly the number
even numbera number that can be divided by 2 with no remainder
odd numbera number that has a remainder when divided by 2
divisiblility rule for 6even number and sum of digits is divisible by 3
divisibility rule for 5number ends in 0 or 5
divisibility rule for 4last two digits are divisible by 4
divisibility rule for 10number ends in 0
divisibility rule for 9sum of digits is divisible by 9
divisibility rule for 3sum of digits is divisible by 3
common factorsfactors that two or more numbers share
common multiplesmultiples that two or more numbers share
order of operationsgrouping, exponent, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction
conjecturea prediction
relatively prime numbernumbers with no common factors except 1
prime factorizationthe longest factor string for a number composed entirely of prime numbers
near perfect numbera number with proper factors that add to 1 less than the number- ex. 32 is a near perfect number because its proper factors add up to 31
dimensionsthe dimensions of a rectangle are its length and width
benchmarkA "nice" number that can be used to estimate the size of other numbers. For work with fractions, O, 1/2, and 1 are good benchmarks.
numeratorThe number written above the line in a fraction. In the fraction 5/8, 5 is the numerator which means 5 parts out of 8.
denominatorThe number written below the line in a fraction. In the fraction 3/4, 4 is the denominator which means that something has been divided into 4 equal-sized parts.
equivalent fractionsFractions that are equal in value but have different numerators and denominators. For example, 2/3 and 14/21 are equivalent fractions.
modeThe category or numerical value that appears most often
medianThe numerical value that marks the middle of a set of data
meanThe average
line plotA simple way to organize data along a number line where x's or other symbols above the number indicate frequency
stem and leaf plotA quick way to picture the shape of a distribution while including the actual numerical values in the the graph. The leaves indicate the ones digits
rangeThe distribution of a distribution is computed by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value
numerical dataValues that are nuumbers such as counts, measurements, and ratings
categorical dataValues that are words
y-axisThe vertical line on a coordinate graph
x-axisThe horizontal line on a coordinate graph
