A term is a single mathematical expression. It may be a single number (positive or negative), a single variable ( a letter ), several variables multiplied but never added or subtracted. Some terms contain variables with a number in front of them. The number in front of a term is called a coefficient.

Answer: The number part of a term is called the coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation: I assume you’re referring to a number like this: 3x. In that case, 3 is the coefficient.
