GET YOUR NUMBERS STRAIGHT

Even Numbers — numbers that are divisible by 2
Odd Numbers — numbers that are not even
Prime Number — a number whose only factors are 1 and itself
Composite Numbers — all numbers that are not prime
Whole Number — a member of the set of numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . . )
Fractional Number — a number that can be named in the form a—b with a and b being any numbers, with the exception that b cannot be 0
Mixed Fractional Number — a number with a whole number and a fractional number
Decimal Number — a number written with a decimal point to express a fraction whose denominator is 10 or a multiple of 10
Mixed Decimal Number — a number with a whole number and a decimal number part
Integers — the set of natural numbers ( . . . –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3 . . . )
Negative Integers — on a number line, all the numbers to the left of 0
Positive Integers — on a number line, all the numbers to the right of 0
Rational Numbers — numbers that can be written as a ratio a—b where both a and bare integers and b is not 0 (all integers and decimals that repeat or terminate)
Irrational Numbers — numbers that cannot be written as a quotient of two integers(decimals that neither repeat nor terminate)
Real Numbers — rational and irrational numbers together are the set of real numbers
Opposite Numbers — two numbers that are the same distance from 0 but are on opposite sides of 0 (3 is the opposite of –3)
Exponential Numbers — a number with an exponent (An exponent is a number written next to a base number to show how many times the base is to be used as a factor.)
Digit — one number in a numeral that holds a particular place
Significant Digits — all non-zero digits and zero when it has a non-zero digit to the left of it (The 0 in 4.03is significant. In 0.66, the 0 is not a significant digit.)
