2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   Dividing the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number yields an equivalent fraction: if the numerator and the denominator of a fraction are both divisible by a number (called a factor) greater than 1, then the fraction can be reduced to an equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and a smaller denominator.

3. Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel

   In the figure, the fraction 1/9000 is displayed in Excel. Although this number has a decimal representation that is an infinite string of ones, Excel displays only the leading 15 figures. In the second line, the number one is added to the fraction, and again Excel displays only 15 figures. In the third line, one is subtracted from the sum using ...

4. Mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

   Since its beginning, mathematics was primarily divided into geometry and arithmetic (the manipulation of natural numbers and fractions), until the 16th and 17th centuries, when algebra [a] and infinitesimal calculus were introduced as new fields.

5. One half - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_half

   One half is the rational number that lies midway between 0 and 1 on the number line. Multiplication by one half is equivalent to division by two, or "halving"; conversely, division by one half is equivalent to multiplication by two, or "doubling". A square of side length one, here dissected into rectangles whose areas are successive powers of ...

6. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

   In number theory the standard unqualified use of the term continued fraction refers to the special case where all numerators are 1, and is treated in the article Simple continued fraction. The present article treats the case where numerators and denominators are sequences { a i } , { b i } {\displaystyle \{a_{i}\},\{b_{i}\}} of constants or ...

7. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

   In the first step both numbers were divided by 10, which is a factor common to both 120 and 90. In the second step, they were divided by 3. The final result, ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠, is an irreducible fraction because 4 and 3 have no common factors other than 1.

8. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator

   For example, the numerators of fractions with common denominators can simply be added, such that + = and that <, since each fraction has the common denominator 12. Without computing a common denominator, it is not obvious as to what 5 12 + 11 18 {\displaystyle {\frac {5}{12}}+{\frac {11}{18}}} equals, or whether 5 12 {\displaystyle {\frac {5 ...

9. Harmonic series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In mathematics, the harmonic series is the infinite series formed by summing all positive unit fractions: = = + + + + +.. The first terms of the series sum to approximately ⁡ +, where is the natural logarithm and is the Euler–Mascheroni constant.
