Question | Answer |
Decimal System | The U.S. base 10 numbering system that uses the 10 single-digit numbers shown on a calculator |
Decimal Point | Center of the decimal system—located between units and tenths. Numbers to left are whole numbers; to the right are decimal numbers |
Whole Numbers | Number that is 0 or larger and doesn’t contain a decimal or fraction, such as 10, 55, or 92, 4. |
Rounding all the way | Process to estimate actual answer. When rounding all the way, only one nonzero digit is left. Rounding all the way gives the least degree of accuracy, 6, 9. Example: 1,251 to 1,000; 2,995 to 3,000. |
Addends | Numbers that are combined in the addition process, 9. Example: 8 + 9 = 17, in which 8 and 9 are the addends |
Sum | Total in the adding process, 9. |
Minuend | In a subtraction problem, the larger number from which another is subtracted, 10. Example: 50 – 40 = 10. |
Subtrahend | In a subtraction problem, smaller number that is being subtracted from another, 10. Example: 30 in 150 − 30 = 120 |
Difference | The resulting answer from a subtraction problem, 10. Example: Minuend less subtrahend equals difference. 215 − 15 = 200. |
Multiplicand | The first or top number being multiplied in a multiplication problem |
Multiplier | The second or bottom number doing the multiplication in a problem |
Product | Answer to a multiplication process |
Partial Products | Numbers between multiplier and product |
Divisor | Number in the division process that is dividing into another, 13. Example: 15 ÷ 5, in which 5 is the divisor. |
Dividend | Number in the division process that is being divided by another, 13. Example: 15 ÷ 5, in which 15 is the dividend. |
Quotient | The answer to a division problem |
Partial Quotient | Occurs when divisor doesn’t divide evenly into the dividend |
Remainder | Leftover amount in division |
