How to determine if a term is a monomial or not

The video tutorial explores the concept of monomials, defining them as numbers, variables, or products of numbers and variables with positive exponents. It addresses the common misconception that division cannot be part of a monomial by demonstrating how division can be rewritten as multiplication. The tutorial uses an analogy with addition and subtraction to clarify this concept, ultimately showing that division problems can be transformed into multiplication problems, thus qualifying them as monomials.
