    Give an approximate answer as a floating-point number. This is the approach usually taken in numerical computation . Give the answer as a fraction representing a rational number , so the result of the division of 26 by 11 is 26 11 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {26}{11}}} (or as a mixed number , so 26 11 = 2 4 11 . {\displaystyle {\tfrac {26}{11}}=2 ...

  3. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

    The number 1 (expressed as a fraction 1/1) is placed at the root of the tree, and the location of any other number a/b can be found by computing gcd(a,b) using the original form of the Euclidean algorithm, in which each step replaces the larger of the two given numbers by its difference with the smaller number (not its remainder), stopping when ...

    The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.It is a massive, nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy from its surface mainly as visible light and infrared radiation with 10% at ultraviolet energies.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_Forms

    Number Forms is a Unicode block containing Unicode compatibility characters that have specific meaning as numbers, but are constructed from other characters. They consist primarily of vulgar fractions and Roman numerals. In addition to the characters in the Number Forms block, three fractions (¼, ½, and ¾) were inherited from ISO-8859-1 ...

    which can be found by stacking into matrix form a set of equations consisting of the above difference equation and the k – 1 equations =, …, + = +, giving a k-dimensional system of the first order in the stacked variable vector [+] in terms of its once-lagged value, and taking the characteristic equation of this system's matrix.

  7. Logistic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

    This sequence takes a particularly simple form for prime k: 2 ⋅ ⁠ 2 k − 1 − 1 / k ⁠. For example: 2 ⋅ ⁠ 2 13 − 1 − 1 / 13 ⁠ = 630 is the number of cycles of length 13. Since this case of the logistic map is chaotic for almost all initial conditions, all of these finite-length cycles are unstable.
