  2. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    So 116 becomes now 46. Repeat the procedure, since the number is greater than 7. Now, 4 becomes 5, which must be added to 6. That is 11. Repeat the procedure one more time: 1 becomes 3, which is added to the second digit (1): 3 + 1 = 4. Now we have a number smaller than 7, and this number (4) is the remainder of dividing 186/7.

  3. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    The combination of these two symbols is sometimes known as a long division symbol or division bracket. [8] It developed in the 18th century from an earlier single-line notation separating the dividend from the quotient by a left parenthesis. [9] [10] The process is begun by dividing the left-most digit of the dividend by the divisor.

  4. English numerals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_numerals

    In spoken English, ordinal numerals and partitive numerals are identical with a few exceptions. Thus "fifth" can mean the element between fourth and sixth, or the fraction created by dividing the unit into five pieces. When used as a partitive numeral, these forms can be pluralized: one seventh, two sevenths. The sole exceptions to this rule ...

  5. Trachtenberg system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachtenberg_system

    Division in the Trachtenberg System is done much the same as in multiplication but with subtraction instead of addition. Splitting the dividend into smaller Partial Dividends, then dividing this Partial Dividend by only the left-most digit of the divisor will provide the answer one digit at a time.

  6. Casting out nines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting_out_nines

    A trick to learn to add with nines is to add ten to the digit and to count back one. Since we are adding 1 to the tens digit and subtracting one from the units digit, the sum of the digits should remain the same. For example, 9 + 2 = 11 with 1 + 1 = 2.

  7. 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.

  9. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Apart from division by zero being undefined, the quotient is not an integer unless the dividend is an integer multiple of the divisor. For example, 26 cannot be divided by 11 to give an integer. Such a case uses one of five approaches: Say that 26 cannot be divided by 11; division becomes a partial function.
