Language of all modern computers and computer based devices. Uses 0 to 9 and a to f (10 to 15) Mathematical operation written as an a = base n = exponent. Used to shorten numbers that are very large and take too much time to write. The least number of decimal places (i. e. important digits) Units (what they are for, why they are important) Integers and all quotients of integers (division) where a/b for b != 0. Numbers which the decimal notation either ends or repeats. Numbers that have an infinite series of non-repeating digits. Integers n with no divisors other than 1 and n. How to determine if a number is a prime number.
