Fractions

When one integer is divided by another, it is fraction for example

3/5 or 4/10 and many more.

Here in these examples 3 and 4 are numerators and 5 and 10 are denominators.

Factors and product

In the multiplication of two integers with each other these two integers are referred to as factors and the result of their multiplication is called as product.

For example in
5 x 2 = 10

5 and 2 are factors and 10 is product.

Integers

Integers are all of the counting numbers. They are represented by "I" i.e.
....,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3.....

They may be positive or negative. Integers that are multiples of 3 are called as even numbers or integers. Moreover 0 is also called as an even number/integer e.g.....,-6,-4,-2,0,2,4,6,......

The numbers other than these are odd integers.

Remainder is that integer which remains at the end of division of one number by another.
