  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.

    2 3 = 8 down 3; 3 3 = 27 down 1; 4 3 = 64 down 3; 5 3 = 125 up 1; 6 3 = 216 up 1; 7 3 = 343 down 3; 8 3 = 512 down 1; 9 3 = 729 down 3; 10 3 = 1000 up 1; There are two steps to extracting the cube root from the cube of a two-digit number. For example, extracting the cube root of 29791. Determine the one's place (units) of the two-digit number.

  6. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    From top-left going clockwise: addition, division, multiplication, and subtraction. Elementary arithmetic is a branch of mathematics involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Due to its low level of abstraction, broad range of application, and position as the foundation of all mathematics, elementary arithmetic is generally ...

  7. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    Long division. In arithmetic, long division is a standard division algorithm suitable for dividing multi-digit Hindu-Arabic numerals (positional notation) that is simple enough to perform by hand. It breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps.

  8. Remainder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remainder

    43 = (−9) × (−5) + (−2) and −2 is the least absolute remainder. In the division of 42 by 5, we have: 42 = 8 × 5 + 2, and since 2 < 5/2, 2 is both the least positive remainder and the least absolute remainder. In these examples, the (negative) least absolute remainder is obtained from the least positive remainder by subtracting 5 ...

  9. Divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisor

    For example, there are six divisors of 4; they are 1, 2, 4, −1, −2, and −4, but only the positive ones (1, 2, and 4) would usually be mentioned. 1 and −1 divide (are divisors of) every integer. Every integer (and its negation) is a divisor of itself. Integers divisible by 2 are called even, and integers not divisible by 2 are called odd.
