- 1AddendsNumber that is combined in the addition problem
- 2AddendsNumber that combined in the addition process. Example: 8+9=17, in which 8 and 9 are the addends.
- 3Decimal PointCenter of the decimal system- located between units and tenths. Numbers to the left are whole numbers; to the right are decimal numbers.
- 4Decimal systemThe U.S. base numbering system that uses 10 single-digit numbers shown on a calculator.
- 5DifferenceThe resulting answer to a subtraction problem.
- 6DividendNumber in the division process that is being divided by another.
- 7DivisorNumber of the division process that is being divided into another.
- 8MinuendIn a subtraction problem, the larger number from which another is subtracted.
- 9MultiplicandThe first or top number being multiplied in a multiplication problem.
- 10Partial ProductsNumbers between multiplier and product
- 11Partial QuotientOccurs when divisor doesn't divide evenly in the dividend.
- 12ProductAnswer of a multiplication process.
- 13QuotientThe answer of a division problem.
- 14RemainderLeftover amount in division.
- 15Rounding all the wayThe process to estimate the actual answer. When rounding all the way, only one nonzero digit is left. Rounding all the way gives the least degree of accuracy.
- 16SubtrahendIn a subtraction problem smaller number that is being subtracted from another.
- 17SumTotal in the addition process.
- 18Whole NumberNumber that is 0 or larger that doesn't contain a decimal or fraction.
- 19CancellationReducing process that is used to simplify the multiplication and division of fractions.
- 20Common DenominatorTo add two or more fractions, denominators must be the same.
- 21DenominatorThe number of a common fraction below the division line.
- 22EquivalentTwo or more fractions equivalent in value.
- 23FractionExpresses a part of a whole number
- 24Greatest Common DivisorThe largest possible number that will divide evenly into both the numerator and the denominator.
- 25Higher TermsExpressing a fraction with a new numerator and denominator that is equivalent to the original.
- 26Improper FractionsFraction that has a value equal to or greater than 1; Numerator is equal to or greater than the denominator.
- 27Least Common DenominatorSmallest nonzero whole number into which all denominators will divide evenly.
- 28Like FractionsProper Fractions with the same denominators.
- 29Lowest TermsExpressing a fraction when no number divides evenly into the numerator and denominator except the number 1.
- 30Mixed NumbersSum of a whole number greater than zero and a proper proper fraction.
- 31NumeratorNumber of a common fraction above the division line.
- 32Prime NumbersWhole number greater than 1 that is only divisible by itself.
- 33Proper FractionFractions with a value less than 1; numerator is smaller than denominator such as 5/9.
- 34ReciprocalThe interchanging of the numerator and the denominator. Inverted number is the reciprocal.
- 35Unlike FractionsProper fractions with different denominators.
