2. Ruffini's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

   In mathematics, Ruffini's rule is a method for computation of the Euclidean division of a polynomial by a binomial of the form x – r. It was described by Paolo Ruffini in 1809. [1] The rule is a special case of synthetic division in which the divisor is a linear factor.

3. Synthetic division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_division

   Animation showing the use of synthetic division to find the quotient of + + + by .Note that there is no term in , so the fourth column from the right contains a zero.. In algebra, synthetic division is a method for manually performing Euclidean division of polynomials, with less writing and fewer calculations than long division.

4. 17-animal inheritance puzzle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17-animal_inheritance_puzzle

   17 indivisible camels. The 17-animal inheritance puzzle is a mathematical puzzle involving unequal but fair allocation of indivisible goods, usually stated in terms of inheritance of a number of large animals (17 camels, 17 horses, 17 elephants, etc.) which must be divided in some stated proportion among a number of beneficiaries.

5. Quotition and partition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotition_and_partition

   Quotition is the concept of division most used in measurement. For example, measuring the length of a table using a measuring tape involves comparing the table to the markings on the tape. This is conceptually equivalent to dividing the length of the table by a unit of length, the distance between markings.

6. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

   In algebra, polynomial long division is an algorithm for dividing a polynomial by another polynomial of the same or lower degree, a generalized version of the familiar arithmetic technique called long division. It can be done easily by hand, because it separates an otherwise complex division problem into smaller ones.

7. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

   Division is often shown in algebra and science by placing the dividend over the divisor with a horizontal line, also called a fraction bar, between them. For example, "a divided by b" can be written as: which can also be read out loud as "divide a by b" or "a over b".

8. Polynomial greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_greatest_common...

   In this section, we consider an integral domain Z (typically the ring Z of the integers) and its field of fractions Q (typically the field Q of the rational numbers). Given two polynomials A and B in the univariate polynomial ring Z[X], the Euclidean division (over Q) of A by B provides a quotient and a remainder which may not belong to Z[X].

9. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

   In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator.
