Question Answer
Addends Numbers that are combined in the addition process. Example: 8 + 9 = 17, in which 8 and 9 are the addends.
Decimal point Center of the decimal system—located between units and tenths. Numbers to left are whole numbers; to the right are decimal numbers.
Decimal System The U.S. base 10 numbering system that uses the 10 single-digit numbers shown on a calculator.
Difference The resulting answer from a subtraction problem. Example: Minuend less subtrahend equals difference. 215 − 15 = 200.
Dividend Number in the division process that is being divided by another. Example: 15 ÷ 5, in which 15 is the dividend.
Divisor Number in the division process that is dividing into another. Example: 15 ÷ 5, in which 5 is the divisor.
Minuend In a subtraction problem, the larger number from which another is subtracted. Example: 50 – 40 = 10. 50 is the minuend
Multiplicand The first or top number being multiplied in a multiplication problem. Example: 50 x 10 =500 50 is the multiplicand
Multiplier The second or bottom number doing the multiplication in a problem. Example: 10 x 15=150 15 is the multiplier
Partial products Numbers between multiplier and product.
Partial quotient Occurs when divisor doesn’t divide evenly into the dividend. Example: 169/7= 24 R1, where 24 is the partial quotient.
Product Answer to a multiplication process. Example: 25 x 4=100, where 100 is the product.
Quotient The answer to a division problem. Example: 100/4=25, where 25 is the quotient.
Remainder Leftover amount in division. Example: 11/2= 5 R1. 1 is the remainder.
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. Example: 1,251 to 1,000; 2,995 to 3,000.
Subtrahend In a subtraction problem, smaller number that is being subtracted from another. Example: 30 in 150 − 30 = 120
Sum Total in the adding process. Example: 5 in 3+2=5
Whole Number Number that is 0 or larger and doesn’t contain a decimal or fraction, such as 10, 55, or 92.
