  2. Continued fraction (generalized) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction...

    For the folded general continued fractions of both expressions, the rate convergence μ = (3 − √ 8) 2 = 17 − √ 288 ≈ 0.02943725, hence ⁠ 1 / μ ⁠ = (3 + √ 8) 2 = 17 + √ 288 ≈ 33.97056, whose common logarithm is 1.531... ≈ ⁠ 26 / 17 ⁠ > ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, thus adding at least three digits per two terms. This is because the ...

  3. Particular values of the gamma function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particular_values_of_the...

    Particular values of the gamma function. The gamma function is an important special function in mathematics. Its particular values can be expressed in closed form for integer and half-integer arguments, but no simple expressions are known for the values at rational points in general.

  4. Fractional excretion of sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_excretion_of_sodium

    CSF/S glu = 0.6. The fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) is the percentage of the sodium filtered by the kidney which is excreted in the urine. It is measured in terms of plasma and urine sodium, rather than by the interpretation of urinary sodium concentration alone, as urinary sodium concentrations can vary with water reabsorption.

  5. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

    In mathematics, the Farey sequence of order n is the sequence of completely reduced fractions, either between 0 and 1, or without this restriction, [a] which when in lowest terms have denominators less than or equal to n, arranged in order of increasing size. With the restricted definition, each Farey sequence starts with the value 0, denoted ...

  6. Rational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_number

    In mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction ⁠ ⁠ of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. [1] For example, ⁠ ⁠ is a rational number, as is every integer (for example, ). The set of all rational numbers, also referred to as " the rationals ", [2] the field of ...

  7. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    On scientific calculators, it is usually known as "SCI" display mode. In scientific notation, nonzero numbers are written in the form. or m times ten raised to the power of n, where n is an integer, and the coefficient m is a nonzero real number (usually between 1 and 10 in absolute value, and nearly always written as a terminating decimal).

  8. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Using the example above: 16,499,205,854,376 has four of the digits 1, 4 and 7 and four of the digits 2, 5 and 8; Since 4 − 4 = 0 is a multiple of 3, the number 16,499,205,854,376 is divisible by 3. Subtracting 2 times the last digit from the rest gives a multiple of 3. (Works because 21 is divisible by 3) 405: 40 - 5 x 2 = 40 - 10 = 30 = 3 x 10 4

  9. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    A simple fraction (also known as a common fraction or vulgar fraction, where vulgar is Latin for "common") is a rational number written as a / b or ⁠ ⁠, where a and b are both integers. [9] As with other fractions, the denominator (b) cannot be zero. Examples include ⁠ 1 2 ⁠, − ⁠ 8 5 ⁠, ⁠ −8 5 ⁠, and ⁠ 85 ⁠.
