A number written before a chemical formula that multiplies every atom in that formula.

A multiplier, also called a coefficient, is written in normal-sized script before a formula. It multiplies the entire formula.

Change only the multipliers before formulae. Changing a subscript changes the identity of the substance.

After balancing, check the whole equation again and use the smallest possible whole-number multipliers.
