General Math 2 Numbers and Operations Section 1.1
minuend
The number you're taking away from; for example, in the statement 6 - 4 = 2, 6 is called the minuend.
dividend
The number ypu're splitting into parts in the division statement 21-3=7 21 is the dividend
addends
The numbers thata re being added together in the equation 5+3=8 the 5 and the 3 are the addneds
brackets or braces
Additions to parentheses that mark order of operations; for example, {[(3 + 2) - 4] + 6} = ?; always solve the operations in parentheses first, then the operations in brackets, and finally the operations in braces. You always start at the innermost set and work your way out.
inverse operations
The mathematical statements 3 plus 4 7 4=3 are called inverse equations becuase each statement is the oppsite of the opposite for example since 24 +8=3 we know that 8x3=24
multiplicand
The number are adding to itself in the multiplication statment 3x7=21,3 is the multiplicand
subtrahend
The number being subtracted for example in the statement6-4=2 4 is called the subtracthend
divsior
The number of parts into which you're splitting the division statment 21+33=7,3 is the divisor
mulitplier
The number of times you add the multiplicand to itself in the multiplication statemnt the multiplier
product
The result in the multiplication statemnt 3x7=21,21 is the product
sum or total
The result of addition in the statement 5+3=8 and 8 is called the sum or the total
quotient
The result of dividing in the division statement 21+3=7 is the quotient
negative numbers
Whole numbers that are less than zero, such as -7, -23, or -624
integer
any positive or negative whole number and also zero
addition
combining the values two or more numbers to get their total value in mathmatics the plus sign used to show addition
multiplication
combining two numbers by adding one value to itself a number of times equal to the other numbers for example 6x8 is the same as 6+6+6+6+6+6 +6+6+6 to show multiplication the times sign or an asterick doubt is used
subtraction
one number is taken away from another to find a difference to show subtraction the minus sign is used
parentheses
operations inside parentheses should be performed first if a problem contains more than one sert of parentheses solve the operations form the left to right
division
sperating one number into smaller equalsnumbers to show division the division sign an division bar is used
Remainder
when division is uneven you're left with a remiander or a number that is smaller than and therefore indivisible vy the divisor
psoitive intergers
which numbers greater than zero such as 3 17 or 461
