2. Integer sorting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sorting

   Pigeonhole sort, counting sort, radix sort, and Van Emde Boas tree sorting all work best when the key size is small; for large enough keys, they become slower than comparison sorting algorithms. However, when the key size or the word size is very large relative to the number of items (or equivalently when the number of items is small), it may ...

3. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   Sometimes multiplication and division are given equal precedence, or sometimes multiplication is given higher precedence than division; see § Mixed division and multiplication below. If each subtraction is replaced with addition of the opposite (additive inverse), then the associative and commutative laws of addition allow terms to be added in ...

4. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In abstract algebra, given a magma with binary operation ∗ (which could nominally be termed multiplication), left division of b by a (written a \ b) is typically defined as the solution x to the equation a ∗ x = b, if this exists and is unique. Similarly, right division of b by a (written b / a) is the solution y to the equation y ∗ a = b ...

5. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

   The main arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Arithmetic is an elementary branch of mathematics that studies numerical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In a wider sense, it also includes exponentiation, extraction of roots, and taking logarithms.

6. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

   The divide-and-conquer technique is the basis of efficient algorithms for many problems, such as sorting (e.g., quicksort, merge sort), multiplying large numbers (e.g., the Karatsuba algorithm), finding the closest pair of points, syntactic analysis (e.g., top-down parsers), and computing the discrete Fourier transform .

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.
