Definition:
LCM: Is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers.
GCF: is the largest number that is a factor of two or more numbers.
Commutative properties: changing the order of numbers does not change the answer.
Distributive properties: in the problem 4 x 23 think of 23 as 20 + 3. To multiply 4 x 23 mentally, think 4 x 20=80; 4 x 3=12;
80 + 12=92.
Abundant numbers: when you add up all the factors the sum is more than the product. Most abundant numbers are
composite numbers
Deficient numbers: when you add up all the factors the sum is less than the product.
Perfect numbers: when you add up all the factors the sum is equal to the product.
Prime factorization: when you look for factors that multiplies up to that product by halving one factor and doubling the
other factor.
Additive Inverse pairs: Two numbers are opposite if they add up to zero.
Absolute value: the absolute value of a number is just the distance of that number from zero.
Prime Numbers: numbers that have 1 and itself as its only factors.
Composite Numbers: numbers with more than 2 factors.
