Mathematics Flashcards

Front

multiple

Back

the product of a given whole number and another whole number (EX: multiples of 10 are 10, 20, 30)

Front

Commutative Property of Multiplication

Back

states that for any numbers a and b, the product of a \times b is equal to the product of b \times a

Front

least common multiple (LCM)

Back

the smallest multiple (other than zero) that two or more numbers have in common

Front

unit fraction

Back

a fraction that has a numerator of 1 and a denominator that is a positive integer

Front

equivalent fractions

Back

fractions that represent the same part-to-whole relationship

Front

benchmark fractions

Back

common fractions you can use to estimate the value of fractions (ex. 0, 1/2, 1)

Front

algorithm

Back

a process of steps you can follow to complete a mathematical calculation

Front

rational number

Back

the set of numbers that can be written as a/b, where a and b are integers and b is not equal to 0 (Ex: -4, 1/2, 2/3, 0.67)

Front

reciprocal

Back

the reciprocal of a number is also known as the multiplicative inverse of the number (Ex: the reciprocal of 3/7 is 7/3)
