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

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.

5x + 3y = 7z 5, 3, and 7 are coefficients and they are integers, they are integer coefficients
Static and kinetic coefficients
The coefficients can be any numerical constants.
To add polynomials , simply combine similar terms. Combine similar terms get the sum of the numerical coefficients and affix the same literal coefficient .

Literal coefficient is the number followed in a numerical coefficient.example: 3x - 3 is the numerical coefficient and x is the literal coefficient.=)

in mathematics, numerical coefficient refers to the constant multiplicative factors attached to the variables in an expression are known as Numerical Coefficient. It differs from Literal Coefficient.The Numerical Coefficient is always written in front of the variable as shown in the expression given below: , where are numerical coefficients.Numerical Coefficient is more frequently referred as Coefficient.the numerical coefficient for the term 10x4 is 10.The numerical coefficients for the expression 3x2 + x + 1 are 3, 1, and 1.
Literal coefficients are the non-numeric multipliers of expressions (or terms). In this case, they are x and y.
They have the same form for any variables, but the numerical coefficients can be different.
In an algebraic expression these are the coefficients that are numbers.the 2 in 2cthe 3 in x3b
Lets look at an example. In the expression 21x+42y x is a litteral coefficient of 21 and y is a literal coefficent of 42. We could write this as 21(x+2y) so we add the literal coefficients, well we add one of them to 2 times the other one. if you had 3x+5y, there is nothing you can really do to add these literal coefficients. How about a multiplication problem, 3xy(2xy)=6x^2y^2 so we multiply the literal coefficients. So the answer is it depends on the problems, sometimes we add the, sometimes we multiply them, sometimes we divide them and sometimes we can not do anything!
The coefficients of polynomials are the numbers in front of the variable expressions. Ex: In the polynomial: 3x^5 + 12x^2 - 45x + 134 the numerical coefficients are: 3,12,& -45
5x + 3y = 7z 5, 3, and 7 are coefficients and they are integers, they are integer coefficients
