  2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is ...

    To change ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ to a decimal, divide 1.000... by 3 (" 3 into 1.000... "), and stop when the desired accuracy is obtained, e.g., at 4 decimals with 0.3333. The fraction ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ can be written exactly with two decimal digits, while the fraction ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ cannot be written exactly as a decimal with a finite number of digits.

  4. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    If the hundreds digit is odd, the number obtained by the last two digits must be 4 times an odd number. 352: 52 = 4 x 13. Add the last digit to twice the rest. The result must be divisible by 8. 56: (5 × 2) + 6 = 16. The last three digits are divisible by 8. [2][3] 34,152: Examine divisibility of just 152: 19 × 8.

  6. Leibniz formula for π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_π

    In mathematics, the Leibniz formula for π, named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, states that = + + = = +,. an alternating series.. It is sometimes called the Madhava–Leibniz series as it was first discovered by the Indian mathematician Madhava of Sangamagrama or his followers in the 14th–15th century (see Madhava series), [1] and was later independently rediscovered by James Gregory in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_table

    Multiplication table. In mathematics, a multiplication table (sometimes, less formally, a times table) is a mathematical table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system. The decimal multiplication table was traditionally taught as an essential part of elementary arithmetic around the world, as it lays the foundation for ...

  8. Ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

    If a mixture contains substances A, B, C and D in the ratio 5:9:4:2 then there are 5 parts of A for every 9 parts of B, 4 parts of C and 2 parts of D. As 5+9+4+2=20, the total mixture contains 5/20 of A (5 parts out of 20), 9/20 of B, 4/20 of C, and 2/20 of D. If we divide all numbers by the total and multiply by 100, we have converted to ...
