  2. Remainder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remainder

    In these examples, the (negative) least absolute remainder is obtained from the least positive remainder by subtracting 5, which is d. This holds in general. When dividing by d, either both remainders are positive and therefore equal, or they have opposite signs. If the positive remainder is r 1, and the negative one is r 2, then r 1 = r 2 + d.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

    The b values are the coefficients of the result (R(x)) polynomial, the degree of which is one less than that of P(x). The final value obtained, s, is the remainder. The polynomial remainder theorem asserts that the remainder is equal to P(r), the value of the polynomial at r.

    Using Euclidean division, 9 divided by 4 is 2 with remainder 1. In other words, each person receives 2 slices of pie, and there is 1 slice left over. This can be confirmed using multiplication, the inverse of division: if each of the 4 people received 2 slices, then 4 × 2 = 8 slices were given out in total. Adding the 1 slice remaining, the ...

    E.g.: x**2 + 3*x + 5 will be represented as [1, 3, 5] """ out = list (dividend) # Copy the dividend normalizer = divisor [0] for i in range (len (dividend)-len (divisor) + 1): # For general polynomial division (when polynomials are non-monic), # we need to normalize by dividing the coefficient with the divisor's first coefficient out [i ...

    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.

    r N−3 = q N−1 r N−2 + r N−1. because it divides both terms on the right-hand side of the equation. Iterating the same argument, r N−1 divides all the preceding remainders, including a and b. None of the preceding remainders r N−2, r N−3, etc. divide a and b, since they leave a remainder. Since r N−1 is a common divisor of a and ...

    Assuming that [a − r, a + r] ⊂ I and r < R, all these series converge uniformly on (a − r, a + r). Naturally, in the case of analytic functions one can estimate the remainder term R k ( x ) {\textstyle R_{k}(x)} by the tail of the sequence of the derivatives f′ ( a ) at the center of the expansion, but using complex analysis also ...

  9. Polynomial greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

    In the imperative programming style, the same algorithm becomes, giving a name to each intermediate remainder: r 0 := a r 1 := b for (i := 1; r i ≤ 0; i := i + 1) do r i+1 := rem(r i−1, r i) end do return r i-1. The sequence of the degrees of the r i is strictly decreasing. Thus after, at most, deg(b) steps, one get a null remainder, say r k.
