The answers are at the end of the booklet. When you find an unfamiliar word, check the glossary fora definition or explanation.  \nCalculators are not allowed when taking the Computerized Placement Test (CPT), nor in Fundamentals of Mathematics, PreAlgebra, and Elementary Algebra; therefore, do not rely on a calculator when working the problems in this booklet.  \nIf you have difficulty understanding any of the concepts, come to one of the Tutoring Centers located on the Lynn, Danvers Main and Danvers Hathorne Campuses.

For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.  \nFraction: Any number written in the form of one whole number over another, ⎜⎛3  ⎞⎟ , indicating  \n⎝ 5 ⎠  \nnumber ofparts being considered over the number ofparts that make one whole.  \nFraction Bar: The line separating the numerator and denominator in a fraction, and it indicates division.  \nGreatest Common Factor (GCF): The largest matching factor of two or more given numbers. It is used to reduce fractions.  \nImproper Fraction: Any fraction with the numerator larger than the denominator.  \nLeast Common Denominator (LCD): The smallest matching multiple of two or more given numbers. It is used to \"boost\" fractions. (Also called Least Common Multiple, LCM)  \nMixed Number: A whole number and a fraction. (It implies addition of wholes and parts; that is, 357 is read \"three and five sevenths\".)  \nMultiple: (Similar to the \"times table.\") A multiple of a given number is equal to the given number or greater. Multiples are found by multiplying the given number in turn by 1, 2, 3,... For example, multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16,…  \nNumerator: The top number of a fraction. It indicates how many parts of a certain size are represented.  \nPrime Factor: Factors of a number that are only divisible by 1 and the given number. For example, prime factors of 12 are 1 x 2 x 2 x 3. Some frequently used Prime Numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.  \nProduct: The result when two numbers are multiplied.  \nProper Fraction: Any fraction when the numerator is less than the denominator.  \nQuotient: The solution to a division problem.  \nReducing: Dividing the numerator and the denominator by the same number to get an equivalent fraction.
