equations, and each equation has three solutions, the matrix is called
a 4×3 matrix (four by three matrix).
collinearTwo or more points that are located on the same line.
combining like termsGrouping LIKE TERMStogether to SIMPLIFYthe
calculation of an EXPRESSIONor EQUATION. For example, in 3x+ 7x–y,
the like terms of 3xand 7xcan be combined to simplify, creating the
new expression 10x–y.
common denominatorThe same value or INTEGERin the DENOMINATOR
of two or more FRACTIONs. For example, in 4 –^3 +–^24 the common
denominator is 4. In –ba+–bd,the common denominator is b.In – 62 +– 63 +-^4
6 , the common denominator is 6. Fractions can be added and
subtracted when they have a common denominator.

common divisorSeeCOMMON FACTOR.
common factor (common divisor, common measure)Any number that
can be divided into two other numbers without leaving a REMAINDER.
For example, a common factor of the numbers 6 and 12 is 3. Another
common factor is 2.

common fraction (simple fraction)AnyFRACTIONthat has a WHOLE
NUMBERas the NUMERATOR, and a whole number as the
DENOMINATOR.
See alsoSECTION IV CHARTS AND TABLES.
common measureSeeCOMMON FACTOR.
common multiple Any number that is a MULTIPLEof two or more numbers.
For example, 4, 8, 12, and 16 are common multiples of both 2 and 4,
and the numbers 12, 24, and 36 are common multiples of 3 and 4.
Commutative Property of AdditionTwo numbers can be added together in
any order and still have the same SUM. For example, 1 + 3 = 4, and
3 + 1 = 4.
See alsoSECTION IV CHARTS AND TABLES.
Commutative Property of MultiplicationTwo numbers can be multiplied
together in any order and still have the same PRODUCT. For example,
2 ×3 = 6, and 3 ×2 = 6.

complementary anglesTwo ANGLEs that, when summed, equal 90°.
