  2. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    For example, ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠, ⁠ 5 / 6 ⁠, and ⁠ −101 / 100 ⁠ are all irreducible fractions. On the other hand, ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠ is reducible since it is equal in value to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, and the numerator of ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ is less than the numerator of ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠. A fraction that is reducible can be reduced by dividing both the numerator ...

  3. Albedo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo

    Albedo (/ æ l ˈ b iː d oʊ / al-BEE-doh; from Latin albedo 'whiteness') is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body. It is measured on a scale from 0 (corresponding to a black body that absorbs all incident radiation) to 1 (corresponding to a body that reflects all incident radiation).

  4. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    For example, replacing $ 23.4476 with $ 23.45, the fraction 312/937 with 1/3, or the expression √2 with 1.414. Rounding is often done to obtain a value that is easier to report and communicate than the original.

  5. Algebra - Wikipedia

    For example, the statement = is true if is either 2 or −2 and false otherwise. [26] Equations with variables can be divided into identity equations and conditional equations. Identity equations are true for all values that can be assigned to the variables, such as the equation 2 x + 5 x = 7 x {\displaystyle 2x+5x=7x} .

  6. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

    In the power systems analysis field of electrical engineering, a per-unit system is the expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base unit quantity. . Calculations are simplified because quantities expressed as per-unit do not change when they are referred from one side of a transformer to t

  7. One half - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_half

    The "one-half" symbol has its own code point as a precomposed character in the Latin-1 Supplement block of Unicode, rendering as ½.. The reduced size of this symbol may make it illegible to readers with relatively mild visual impairment; consequently the decomposed forms 12 or ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ may be more appropriate.

  8. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    Every terminating decimal representation can be written as a decimal fraction, a fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 1585 / 1000 ⁠); it may also be written as a ratio of the form ⁠ k / 2 n ·5 m ⁠ (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 317 / 2 3 ·5 2 ⁠).
