number. Factors may be whole numbers or rational numbers
expressed as fractions or decimals.
4, 3, and 2 are factors in 4 x 3 x 2 = 24; 0.5 and 25 are factors in 0.5 x 25 = 12.5
factors (verb)

the number n.
The factor pairs of 21 are 1 and 21 and 3 and 7.
factorization
The original number is represented as a product
of factors, and each of those factors is
represented as a product of factors, and so on, until the factor string consists
of prime numbers.
factorial
A product of a whole number and
all the smaller whole numbers
except 0.
3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6
3! Is read as “three factorial”

formula
A general rule for finding the value of
something. A formula is often written in
abbreviated form with letters, called
variables.
A formula for distance traveled can be written as d = r * t
where the variable d stands for distance,
r for speed, and t for time.
fraction
A number in the form or a/b, where a and b are
whole numbers and b is not 0. Fractions are used to name part of a whole object, part of a whole collection of objects, to compare two quantities, or as the quotient of a
divided by b.

the length of a line segment drawn
perpendicular to a base of the figure that extends
from the base to the opposite face or vertex.
