Dividing integers in a computer program requires special care. Some programming languages treat integer division as in case 5 above, so the answer is an integer. Other languages, such as MATLAB and every computer algebra system return a rational number as the answer, as in case 3 above. These languages also provide functions to get the results ...
The ambiguity of mathematical expressions that involve the obelus and implicit multiplication has become a subject of Internet memes. This form of the obelus was also occasionally used as a mathematical symbol for subtraction in Northern Europe; such usage continued in some parts of Europe (including Norway and, until fairly recently, Denmark ...
If an expression can be evaluated by straightforward application of simple techniques and without recourse to extended calculation or general theory, then it can be evaluated by inspection. It is also applied to solving equations; for example to find roots of a quadratic equation by inspection is to 'notice' them, or mentally check them.
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.
divide et impera: divide and rule / "divide and conquer" A Roman maxim adopted by Roman Dictator Julius Caesar, King Louis XI of France and the Italian political author Niccolò Machiavelli. dixi: I have spoken: A popular, eloquent expression, usually used in the end of a speech. The implied meaning is that the speaker has said all that had to ...
President Joe Biden ordered a national day of mourning in January and flags to be displayed at half-staff following President Jimmy Carter's death.
Divide the highest term of the remainder by the highest term of the divisor (x 2 ÷ x = x). Place the result (+x) below the bar. x 2 has been divided leaving no remainder, and can therefore be marked as used. The result x is then multiplied by the second term in the divisor −3 = −3x. Determine the partial remainder by subtracting 0x − ...
