It's a factor. This concept is widely used throughout algebra, and you'll probably bump into it through the end of high school and beyond.
A common use is expressing a term in <em>prime factorization</em>, or reducing a number to its most base parts- primes. For example:

Of course, a number like 13 which is already prime is made up of itself and 1. <em>Factors do not have to be primes.</em> 20 is also reducible through combinations of 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20. Prime factorization is just a handy example.
Basically, factors multiply with each other to create other numbers, and numbers can be reduced down to their factors.
Answer:
3 /4 x+ 1 /2 one-half more than three-fourths of a number
3/ 4 − 1 /2 x three-fourths minus one-half of a number
3/ 4 −(x+ 1/ 2 ) three-fourths minus the sum of a number and one-half
10cm X 100 = 1000 is the answer mate
5.96666 or 6 because if you round it that’s what it’ll be
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of nurses to docters a month ago was 3:5. Now, it's 4:5. You can tell that there aren't 4 nurses because 3 => 4 is only one nurse. If you duplicate both ratios (multiply both sides by 2), you get 6:10 (for a month ago) and 8:10 (now). This is correct because 6+2=8. Hope it helps!
