Select the correct definitions, as given in lesson 5. Select all that apply. * 3 points coefficient – a number used to multiply a variable in an algebraic expression constant – a term that can be changed in an equation factor – a number that divides another number with a remainder of zero greatest common factor – largest number that is a factor of two or more numbers, often abbreviated GCF

Here are the correct definitions based on your request:

  1. coefficient – a number used to multiply a variable in an algebraic expression.
  2. constant – a term that can be changed in an equation. (This definition is not typically accurate; constants are usually defined as fixed values that do not change.)
  3. factor – a number that divides another number with a remainder of zero.
  4. greatest common factor – largest number that is a factor of two or more numbers, often abbreviated GCF.

Based on these definitions, the correct selections are:

  • Coefficient
  • Factor
  • Greatest Common Factor

If you want to be precise, the definition of "constant" is not usually understood that way. Constants are typically fixed values, so you might want to reconsider that one.
