27
A number that is NOT a prime number
A composite number (has at least one other factor that is not 1 or itself)
28
What is the prime factorization of 48?
(3)(2⁴) (3*2*2*2*2) (Breaks the number down into its prime numbers)
29
What are the three cases to find the least common multiple of two numbers and what is the respective method to solve each?
1. Largest # is multiple of smaller: it is the LCM 2. Both #'s are primes: their product is the LCM 3. Neither 1 or 2 is true: Multiply largest by 2, 3, 4 etc until the smaller number goes into the product evenly.
30
Define proper fraction
numerator less than denominator
31
Define improper fraction
numerator greater than denominator
32
Defined mixed number/mixed fraction
a number containing a whole number and a proper fraction
33
What are the four steps to multiply two or more fractions
1. Factor; 2. Cancel; 3. Multiply denominators;. 4. Multiply numerators
34
What are the three steps to divide two fractions
1. Keep first fraction the same; 2. Flip the second fraction 3. Multiply the two fractions following the multiplication steps
35
What are complex fractions and how do you simplify them?
Fractions with fractions in both numerator and denominator. Solve by dividing the upper one by the lower one.
36
How do you add or subtract fractions without a common denominator? (3 steps)
1. Find the LCM for the two denominators 2. Multiply both numerator and denominator by the missing fractions so that the LCM is the denominator for both fractions. 3. Add or subtract the numerators.
37
What are three cases of LCM for the denominator of the two fractions
Case 1: If the larger denominator is a multiple of the smaller, the larger is the LCM. Case 2: If both denominators are primes, the LCM is the product of those two primes. Case 3. The default, start with larger denominator and multiply it by 2, 3, 4 et until you get a number that divides evenly by the smaller denominator.
