  2. Particular values of the gamma function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particular_values_of_the...

    It is unknown whether these constants are transcendental in general, but Γ(⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) and Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) were shown to be transcendental by G. V. Chudnovsky. Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) / 4 √ π has also long been known to be transcendental, and Yuri Nesterenko proved in 1996 that Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠), π, and e π are algebraically independent.

  3. One half - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_half

    One half is the irreducible fraction resulting from dividing one (1) by two (2), or the fraction resulting from dividing any number by its double. It often appears in mathematical equations, recipes, measurements, etc.

  4. Fractional part - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_part

    The fractional part or decimal part[1] of a non‐negative real number is the excess beyond that number's integer part. The latter is defined as the largest integer not greater than x, called floor of x or . Then, the fractional part can be formulated as a difference: The fractional part of logarithms, [2] specifically, is also known as the ...

  5. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    The golden ratio φ and its negative reciprocal −φ −1 are the two roots of the quadratic polynomial x 2 − x − 1. The golden ratio's negative −φ and reciprocal φ −1 are the two roots of the quadratic polynomial x 2 + x − 1. The golden ratio is also an algebraic number and even an algebraic integer. It has minimal polynomial

  6. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    A simple fraction (also known as a common fraction or vulgar fraction, where vulgar is Latin for "common") is a rational number written as a / b or ⁠ ⁠, where a and b are both integers. [9] As with other fractions, the denominator (b) cannot be zero. Examples include ⁠ 1 2 ⁠, − ⁠ 8 5 ⁠, ⁠ −8 5 ⁠, and ⁠ 85 ⁠.

  7. Percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

    In mathematics, a percentage (from Latin per centum 'by a hundred') is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign (%), [1] although the abbreviations pct., pct, and sometimes pc are also used. [2] A percentage is a dimensionless number (pure number), primarily used for expressing proportions ...

  8. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    Starting at 0, add 1 for each cell whose distance to the origin (0,0) is less than or equal to r. When finished, divide the sum, representing the area of a circle of radius r, by r2 to find the approximation of π. For example, if r is 5, then the cells considered are: (−5,5) (−4,5)

  9. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Subtract the quantity of the digits 2, 5, and 8 in the number from the quantity of the digits 1, 4, and 7 in the number. The result must be divisible by 3. Using the example above: 16,499,205,854,376 has four of the digits 1, 4 and 7 and four of the digits 2, 5 and 8; Since 4 − 4 = 0 is a multiple of 3, the number 16,499,205,854,376 is ...
