2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   Similarly, right division of b by a (written b / a) is the solution y to the equation y ∗ a = b. Division in this sense does not require ∗ to have any particular properties (such as commutativity, associativity, or an identity element). A magma for which both a \ b and b / a exist and are unique for all a and all b (the Latin square ...

3. Euclidean division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_division

   In arithmetic, Euclidean division – or division with remainder – is the process of dividing one integer (the dividend) by another (the divisor), in a way that produces an integer quotient and a natural number remainder strictly smaller than the absolute value of the divisor. A fundamental property is that the quotient and the remainder ...

4. Ruffini's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

   Here is an example of polynomial division as described above. Let: = + = + P(x) will be divided by Q(x) using Ruffini's rule. The main problem is that Q(x) is not a binomial of the form x − r, but rather x + r. Q(x) must be rewritten as

5. Synthetic division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_division

   In algebra, synthetic division is a method for manually performing Euclidean division of polynomials, with less writing and fewer calculations than long division. It is mostly taught for division by linear monic polynomials (known as Ruffini's rule ), but the method can be generalized to division by any polynomial .

6. Division algebra - Wikipedia

   These are of course both associative. For a non-associative example, consider the complex numbers with multiplication defined by taking the complex conjugate of the usual multiplication: = ¯. This is a commutative, non-associative division algebra of dimension 2 over the reals, and has no unit element. There are infinitely many other non ...

7. Chunking (division) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking_(division)

   To calculate the whole number quotient of dividing a large number by a small number, the student repeatedly takes away "chunks" of the large number, where each "chunk" is an easy multiple (for example 100×, 10×, 5× 2×, etc.) of the small number, until the large number has been reduced to zero – or the remainder is less than the small ...

8. Outline of arithmetic - Wikipedia

   Division – Repeated subtraction Modulo – The remainder of division; Quotient – Result of division; Quotition and partition – How many parts are there, and what is the size of each part; Fraction – A number that is not whole, often shown as a division equation Decimal fraction – Representation of a fraction in the form of a number

9. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

   Polynomial long division can be used to find the equation of the line that is tangent to the graph of the function defined by the polynomial P(x) at a particular point x = r. [3] If R ( x ) is the remainder of the division of P ( x ) by ( x – r ) 2 , then the equation of the tangent line at x = r to the graph of the function y = P ( x ) is y ...
