Pika! Pikachu here to help. The definition to each of the terms is:

terms-single number, or variable.

variable-the letter in equations(for example x is the variable in 14=2x)

constant-an alone number, sometimes a variable

coefficient-number with a variable(for example 6 is the coefficient in 6x)

factors-a number that divides/multiplies in a equation(for example 6 and 2 is the factors in 6 x 2 = 12)

product-the answer in equations(for example 12 is the product in 6 x 2= 12)
