  2. Heptadecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptadecagon

    The regular heptadecagon has Dih 17 symmetry, order 34. Since 17 is a prime number there is one subgroup with dihedral symmetry: Dih 1, and 2 cyclic group symmetries: Z 17, and Z 1. These 4 symmetries can be seen in 4 distinct symmetries on the heptadecagon. John Conway labels these by a letter and group order. [7]

  3. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    What is being divided is called the dividend, which is divided by the divisor, and the result is called the quotient. At an elementary level the division of two natural numbers is, among other possible interpretations, the process of calculating the number of times one number is contained within another.

  4. 360 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360_(number)

    360 is divisible by the number of its divisors , and it is the smallest number divisible by every natural number from 1 to 10, except 7. Furthermore, one of the divisors of 360 is 72, which is the number of primes below it. 360 is the sum of twin primes (179 + 181) and the sum of four consecutive powers of three (9 + 27 + 81 + 243).

  5. Transcendental number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendental_number

    In other words, the n th digit of this number is 1 only if n is one of 1! = 1, 2! = 2, 3! = 6, 4! = 24, etc. Liouville showed that this number belongs to a class of transcendental numbers that can be more closely approximated by rational numbers than can any irrational algebraic number, and this class of numbers is called the Liouville numbers ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    In contrast, by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem, the sine or cosine of any non-zero algebraic number is always transcendental. [4] The real part of any root of unity is a trigonometric number. By Niven's theorem, the only rational trigonometric numbers are 0, 1, −1, 1/2, and −1/2. [5]

  7. Pizza theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_theorem

    Hirschhorn et al. (1999) show that a pizza sliced in the same way as the pizza theorem, into a number n of sectors with equal angles where n is divisible by four, can also be shared equally among n/4 people. For instance, a pizza divided into 12 sectors can be shared equally by three people as well as by two; however, to accommodate all five of ...

  8. Degree (angle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(angle)

    A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees. [4] It is not an SI unit—the SI unit of angular measure is the radian—but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. [5]

  9. 17 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17_(number)

    17 is a Leyland number [3] and Leyland prime, [4] using 2 & 3 (2 3 + 3 2) and using 4 and 5, [5] [6] using 3 & 4 (3 4 - 4 3). 17 is a Fermat prime. 17 is one of six lucky numbers of Euler. [7] Since seventeen is a Fermat prime, regular heptadecagons can be constructed with a compass and unmarked ruler.
