Integers Integers are whole (counting) numbers ; {… , −𝟑, −𝟐, −𝟏, 𝟎, 𝟏, 𝟐, 𝟑, . . }


Rational A number that can be written as a faction of two integers
Irrational A number whose decimal part goes on forever and ever without
repeating
Real Consist of both the rational and irrational numbers.
Prime Number A number that has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself
Composite Number A number that has more than two factors (non primes)
Even integers An integer that is divisible by 2 ; {… , −𝟔, −𝟒, −𝟐, 𝟎, 𝟐, 𝟒, 𝟔, . . }
Odd Integers An integer that is not evenly divisible by 2 ; {… , −𝟓, −𝟑, −𝟏, 𝟏, 𝟑, 𝟓, 𝟕, . . }
Reciprocal of a number 2 3
The number need to multiply to get 1 as the answer ; Ex: 3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 2
Opposite of a number Negative of a number ; Ex: 3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 − 3
Remainder When an integer is divided by another, the remainder is the
integer amount that is left over. For example, when 66 is
divided by 7, the remainder is 3. 66 = 7 × 9 + 3
Factor (Divisor) An exact divisor of a number. This 4 is a factor of 12
Multiple A multiple of a number is the result of multiplying that number
by any integer. For example, the multiples of 15 include 15, 30, 45, 60, . .

Arithmetic Mean The arithmetic mean of n numbers is the sum of the numbers divided by
n
Median When a set of numbers is ordered from smallest to largest, the median
number is the one in the middle of the list
Mode
Range (Statistics) The range of a set of numbers is the largest value in the set minus the
smallest value in the set
Standard Deviation Tells how spread out numbers are from the average
