1.   Divisible – a whole number is divisible by a second whole number if the first number can be divided by the second number with a remainder of 0

2.  Even Number – any whole number that ends with a 0, 2, 4, 6, 8

3.  Odd Number – any whole number that ends with a 3, 5, 7, 9

4.  Exponent – tells how many times a number, or base is used as a factor

5.  Base – when a number is written in exponential form, the number that is used as a factor (the bigger number)

6.  Power – a number that can be expressed using an exponent

7.  Factor – a whole number that divides another whole number with a remainder of 0

8.   Composite Number – a whole number greater than 1 with more than two factors

9.   Prime Number – a whole number with exactly two factors, 1 and the whole number

11.                Common Factor – a factor that two or more numbers share

12.               Greatest Common Factor (GCF) – the greatest factor shared by all of the numbers you are comparing

13.               Multiple – the product of the number and any nonzero whole number

14.               Common Multiple – a multiple shared by two or more numbers

15.               Least Common Multiple (LCM) – the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers
