factor

• an integer that divides evenly/equally into another whole number

• having a different sign but the same number; values that are the same distance from 0 but on either sides of the number line

• a whole number greater than 0 that can only be divided by 1 and itself

• the distance of a value from 0

absolute value

• an integer that divides evenly/equally into another whole number

• having a different sign but the same number; values that are the same distance from 0 but on either sides of the number line

• a whole number greater than 0 that can only be divided by 1 and itself

• the distance of a value from 0

prime number

• an integer that divides evenly/equally into another whole number

• having a different sign but the same number; values that are the same distance from 0 but on either sides of the number line

• a whole number greater than 0 that can only be divided by 1 and itself

• the distance of a value from 0
