    That is, whatever A and B are, A ≤ B is equivalent to A < B or A = B. 2. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a subgroup of the second one. ≥ 1. Means "greater than or equal to". That is, whatever A and B are, A ≥ B is equivalent to A > B or A = B. 2. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a subgroup of the ...

    This last non-simple continued fraction (sequence A110185 in the OEIS), equivalent to = [;,,,,,...], has a quicker convergence rate compared to Euler's continued fraction formula [clarification needed] and is a special case of a general formula for the exponential function:

  4. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    The process for subtracting fractions is, in essence, the same as that of adding them: find a common denominator, and change each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the chosen common denominator. The resulting fraction will have that denominator, and its numerator will be the result of subtracting the numerators of the original fractions.

    For example, (2 + 3) × 4 = 20 forces addition to precede multiplication, while (3 + 5) 2 = 64 forces addition to precede exponentiation. If multiple pairs of parentheses are required in a mathematical expression (such as in the case of nested parentheses), the parentheses may be replaced by other types of brackets to avoid confusion, as in [2 ...

  6. Unit fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_fraction

    In mathematics education, unit fractions are often introduced earlier than other kinds of fractions, because of the ease of explaining them visually as equal parts of a whole. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] A common practical use of unit fractions is to divide food equally among a number of people, and exercises in performing this sort of fair division are a ...

    Equivalent equation: + = where x represent the child's age To solve this kind of equation, the technique is add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation by the same number in order to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

  8. Clearing denominators - Wikipedia

    The result is an equation with no fractions. The simplified equation is not entirely equivalent to the original. For when we substitute y = 0 and z = 0 in the last equation, both sides simplify to 0, so we get 0 = 0, a mathematical truth. But the same substitution applied to the original equation results in x/6 + 0/0 = 1, which is ...

  9. Equality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Each value of the unknown for which the equation holds is called a solution of the given equation; also stated as satisfying the equation. For example, the equation x 2 − 6 x + 5 = 0 {\displaystyle x^{2}-6x+5=0} has the values x = 1 {\displaystyle x=1} and x = 5 {\displaystyle x=5} as its only solutions.
