  2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    For example, 10 3 = 1000 and 10 −4 = 0.0001. Exponentiation with base 10 is used in scientific notation to denote large or small numbers. For instance, 299 792 458 m/s (the speed of light in vacuum, in metres per second) can be written as 2.997 924 58 × 10 8 m/s and then approximated as 2.998 × 10 8 m/s.

  3. Power of two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two

    Visualization of powers of two from 1 to 1024 (2 0 to 2 10) as base-2 Dienes blocks. A power of two is a number of the form 2 n where n is an integer, that is, the result of exponentiation with number two as the base and integer n as the exponent. In the fast-growing hierarchy, 2 n is exactly equal to ().

  4. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Subtracting twice the last digit from the rest gives a multiple of 21. (Works because (10a + b) × 2 − 21a = −a + 2b; the last number has the same remainder as 10a + b.) 168: 16 − 8 × 2 = 0. Suming 19 times the last digit to the rest gives a multiple of 21. (Works because 189 is divisible by 21). 441: 44 + 1 × 19 = 44 + 19 = 63 = 21 × 3.

  5. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    Then, f(x)g(x) = 4x 2 + 4x + 1 = 1. Thus deg(f⋅g) = 0 which is not greater than the degrees of f and g (which each had degree 1). Since the norm function is not defined for the zero element of the ring, we consider the degree of the polynomial f(x) = 0 to also be undefined so that it follows the rules of a norm in a Euclidean domain.

  6. nth root - Wikipedia

    The four 4th roots of −1, none of which are real The three 3rd roots of −1, one of which is a negative real. An n th root of a number x, where n is a positive integer, is any of the n real or complex numbers r whose nth power is x:

  7. Power of 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_10

    m × 10 n. Or more compactly as: 10 n. This is generally used to denote powers of 10. Where n is positive, this indicates the number of zeros after the number, and where the n is negative, this indicates the number of decimal places before the number. As an example: 10 5 = 100,000 [1] 10 −5 = 0.00001 [2]

  9. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    For example, 10 is a multiple of 5 because 5 × 2 = 10, so 10 is divisible by 5 and 2. Because 10 is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 5 and 2, it is the least common multiple of 5 and 2. By the same principle, 10 is the least common multiple of −5 and −2 as well.
