  2. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    A positive or negative number when divided by zero is a fraction with the zero as denominator. Zero divided by a negative or positive number is either zero or is expressed as a fraction with zero as numerator and the finite quantity as denominator. Zero divided by zero is zero. In 830, Mahāvīra unsuccessfully tried to correct the mistake ...

  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 ...

    For example, the ratio 4:5 can be written as 1:1.25 (dividing both sides by 4) Alternatively, it can be written as 0.8:1 (dividing both sides by 5). Where the context makes the meaning clear, a ratio in this form is sometimes written without the 1 and the ratio symbol (:), though, mathematically, this makes it a factor or multiplier.

  5. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    In computing, the modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, called the modulus of the operation.. Given two positive numbers a and n, a modulo n (often abbreviated as a mod n) is the remainder of the Euclidean division of a by n, where a is the dividend and n is the divisor.

  6. Parity of zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_zero

    There is another concrete definition of evenness: if the objects in a set can be placed into two groups of equal size, then the number of objects is even. This definition is equivalent to the first one. Again, zero is even because the empty set can be divided into two groups of zero items each. [7] Numbers can also be visualized as points on a ...

    Another example is the zero function (or zero map) on a domain D. This is the constant function with 0 as its only possible output value, that is, it is the function f defined by f(x) = 0 for all x in D. As a function from the real numbers to the real numbers, the zero function is the only function that is both even and odd.

  8. Sides of an equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sides_of_an_equation

    The two sides have the same value, expressed differently, since equality is symmetric. [1] More generally, these terms may apply to an inequation or inequality; the right-hand side is everything on the right side of a test operator in an expression, with LHS defined similarly.

  9. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    The result is the same as the result of 125 divided by 5 (125/5=25). Example. If the last digit is 0. 110 (The original number) 11 0 (Take the last digit of the number, and check if it is 0 or 5) 11 0 (If it is 0, take the remaining digits, discarding the last) 11 × 2 = 22 (Multiply the result by 2)
