It called the coefficient of a variable. As an example 16x. 16 would be the coefficient and x would be the variable or term.
Co-efficient
Yes--in that it is a constant that typically precedes a variable.
Such a number is called a "constant". If the number appears in front of a variable, it is sometimes called a "coefficient".
The number in front of the variable is called the coefficient
The number is called the coefficient of the variable
We call a number that has no variable attached to it, a constant. A number attached to a variable, as in 3x, is called a coefficient.
It is a variable
An unknown number is a variable and its symbol is usually in the form of a letter such as x or y
