(iii) 7x is a term, which is a product of a constant and a variable.

(vii) x/y is a term, which is a quotient of two variables.
(viii) a/5 is a term, which is a quotient of a variable and a constant.
Factors of the terms:
When the numbers and literals are multiplied, we get the product then,
• Each quantity multiplied is called the factor of the product.
• Constant denotes the numerical factor.
• Variable denotes the literal factor.
For examples:
Write all the factors of 7mn.
7, m, n, 7m, 7n, mn, 7mn are the factors of 7mn.
Here, 7 is the numerical factor and m, n, mn are the literal factors.
