In a term (or monomial), the number part is the numerical coefficient (often just called the coefficient), and the variable part (letters) is the literal coefficient.

Some examples:

3x2: num coeff = 3, lit coeff = x2

-0.5xy4z9: num coeff = -0.5, lit coeff =xy4z9

17: num coeff = 17, no literal coefficient

w: num coeff = 1, lit coeff = w
