  2. Fraction - Wikipedia

    For example, to change ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ to a decimal expression, divide 1 by 4 (" 4 into 1 "), to obtain exactly 0.25. To change ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ to a decimal expression, divide 1... by 3 (" 3 into 1... "), and stop when the desired precision is obtained, e.g., at four places after the decimal separator (ten-thousandths) as 0.3333.

  3. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    For this to be well defined, B −1 need not exist, however A −1 does need to exist. To avoid confusion, division as defined by A / B = AB −1 is sometimes called right division or slash-division in this context. With left and right division defined this way, A / (BC) is in general not the same as (A / B) / C, nor is (AB) \ C the same as A ...

    The IQR may also be called the midspread, middle 50%, fourth spread, or H‑spread. It is defined as the difference between the 75th and 25th percentiles of the data. [2] [3] [4] To calculate the IQR, the data set is divided into quartiles, or four rank-ordered even parts via linear interpolation. [1]

  5. Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for specific exponents

    Therefore, neither 3 nor 4 divide v. Substituting u by w in the equation for z 3 yields −z 3 = 6w(9w 2 + 3v 2) = 18w(3w 2 + v 2) Because v and w are coprime, and because 3 does not divide v, then 18w and 3w 2 + v 2 are also coprime. Therefore, since their product is a cube, they are each the cube of smaller integers, r and s. 18w = r 3 3w 2 ...

  6. 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.

    In this case, s is called the least absolute remainder. [3] As with the quotient and remainder, k and s are uniquely determined, except in the case where d = 2n and s = ± n. For this exception, we have: a = k⋅d + n = (k + 1)d − n. A unique remainder can be obtained in this case by some convention—such as always taking the positive value ...

  8. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    y = x 3 for values of 1 ≤ x ≤ 25.. In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube of a number n is denoted n 3, using a superscript 3, [a] for example 2 3 = 8.

    n 5 n 4 n 3 n 2 4 0 s 4 s 3 s 2 s 1 4 4 1 Borrowing 1 from n 1 (which is now 4) leaves 3, so s 1 must be 4, and therefore n 2 as well. So now it looks like: n 5 n 4 n 3 4 4 0 s 4 s 3 s 2 4 4 4 1 But the same reasoning again applies to N' as applied to N, so the next digit of N' is 4, so s 2 and n 3 are also 4, etc. There are 5 divisions; the ...
