  A coefficient is a numerical factor applied to a variable in an algebraic expression. It is a constant that is multiplied by the variable.

  For example, in the expression 3x + 4y, the coefficients are 3 and 4. The coefficient 3 is multiplied by the variable x, and the coefficient 4 is multiplied by the variable y.

  Coefficients can be positive or negative, whole numbers or fractions, and play an important role in representing the relationship between variables in mathematical equations and formulas.
