In mathematics, a numerical coefficient is a constant factor in a term of an algebraic expression. For example, in the term 5x, the numerical coefficient is 5. In the expression 2y^2, the numerical coefficient is 2. Numerical coefficients can be positive, negative, integers, fractions, or even irrational numbers.
A variable expression includes variables.
algebric uses variables and numerical uses numbers
The numerical factor of a term is called the "coefficient."
Numerical expressions solely include numbers, while algebraic expressions may contain a variable like x. An example of a numerical expression is 1+2 and an example of an algebraic expression is 2x+3y=0.

Multiplicand times multiplier equals product. If the expression has a variable, the numerical factor of the variable is the coefficient.
power
Multiplicand times multiplier equals product. If the expression includes a variable, the numerical factor is the coefficient.
