2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   To divide a fraction by a whole number, you may either divide the numerator by the number, if it goes evenly into the numerator, or multiply the denominator by the number. For example, 10 3 ÷ 5 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {10}{3}}\div 5} equals 2 3 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {2}{3}}} and also equals 10 3 ⋅ 5 = 10 15 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {10}{3\cdot ...

3. Unit fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_fraction

   Multiplying two unit fractions produces another unit fraction, but other arithmetic operations do not preserve unit fractions. In modular arithmetic, unit fractions can be converted into equivalent whole numbers, allowing modular division to be transformed into multiplication.

4. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   Sometimes this remainder is added to the quotient as a fractional part, so 10 / 3 is equal to ⁠3 + 1 / 3 ⁠ or 3.33..., but in the context of integer division, where numbers have no fractional part, the remainder is kept separately (or exceptionally, discarded or rounded). [5] When the remainder is kept as a fraction, it leads to a rational ...

5. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

   The main kinds of numbers employed in arithmetic are natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers. [12] The natural numbers are whole numbers that start from 1 and go to infinity. They exclude 0 and negative numbers.

6. Multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

   The inverse operation of multiplication is division. For example, since 4 multiplied by 3 equals 12, 12 divided by 3 equals 4. Indeed, multiplication by 3, followed by division by 3, yields the original number. The division of a number other than 0 by itself equals 1. Several mathematical concepts expand upon the fundamental idea of multiplication.

7. Multiplication and repeated addition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_and...

   Multiplication is often defined for natural numbers, then extended to whole numbers, fractions, and irrational numbers. However, abstract algebra has a more general definition of multiplication as a binary operation on some objects that may or may not be numbers. Notably, one can multiply complex numbers, vectors, matrices, and quaternions.
