The independent number is the number that determines the value of the dependent number. For example, in the equation y=2x, the value of y is dependent on the value of x at that point multiplied by two.

Dependent and independent and what scenario
An independent variable is a variable that isn't affected by something else. A dependent variable is a variable that's affected by changes in the independent variable.
Two events are said to be independent if the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other. Their probabilities are independent probabilities. If the events are not independent then they are dependent.
Independent variables are the input value of a function (usually x) and dependent variables are the output value of the function (usually y).
An independent variable is a factor that doesn't rely on anything, unlike the dependent variable (which relies on the independent variable). The most common independent variable is time.
