The term "contiguous" means sharing a common border or touching. It is often used to describe things that are next to each other or connected without any gaps. For example:

  • Geography: The "contiguous United States" refers to the 48 states that are connected by land, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
  • Mathematics: In a sequence, contiguous numbers are those that are next to each other, like 5 and 6.
  • General use: Contiguous rooms in a building are rooms that share a common wall or are next to each other.

In essence, "contiguous" refers to something being in direct contact or adjoining.
