It depends on where you are using it. in sequences it relates to the position in the sequence, in ratios e.g write the ratio in the form 1:n it just stands for an unknown number so if you had a ratio 2: 6 and were asked to write it in the form 1:n you would write it as 1:3.


Hope that answers your question please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions

N means the Nth term, and is often used to find the typical sequence of numbers. For example, in order to find the Nth term of the sequence, we are trying to find out the methodology of that sequence (what a particular number, which N represents) would needed be added to, subtracted from, divided by or times by to get a particular outcome.
