  2. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    The least common multiple of the denominators of two fractions is the "lowest common denominator" (lcd), and can be used for adding, subtracting or comparing the fractions. The least common multiple of more than two integers a , b , c , . . . , usually denoted by lcm( a , b , c , . . .) , is defined as the smallest positive integer that is ...

  3. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator

    In mathematics, the lowest common denominator or least common denominator (abbreviated LCD) is the lowest common multiple of the denominators of a set of fractions. It simplifies adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions.

    Smallest base which is not a perfect power (where generalized repunits can be factored algebraically) for which no generalized repunit primes are known. 196: Number expressible with two tetradecimal digits. 210: Smallest base such that all fractions ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ to ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ terminate. 225: Number expressible with two pentadecimal digits. 256

  5. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    The notion of irreducible fraction generalizes to the field of fractions of any unique factorization domain: any element of such a field can be written as a fraction in which denominator and numerator are coprime, by dividing both by their greatest common divisor. [7] This applies notably to rational expressions over a field. The irreducible ...

  6. Subtraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction

    The American method corrects for the increase of ten by reducing the digit in the minuend's hundreds place by one. That is, the 7 is struck through and replaced by a 6. The subtraction then proceeds in the hundreds place, where 6 is not less than 5, so the difference is written down in the result's hundred's place. We are now done, the result ...

  7. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    And that is actually the same as subtracting 7×10 n (clearly a multiple of 7) from 10×10 n. Similarly, when you turn a 3 into a 2 in the following decimal position, you are turning 30×10 n into 2×10 n, which is the same as subtracting 30×10 n −28×10 n, and this is again subtracting a multiple of 7. The same reason applies for all the ...

  8. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    A subtraction problem such as is solved by borrowing a 10 from the tens place to add to the ones place in order to facilitate the subtraction. Subtracting 9 from 6 involves borrowing a 10 from the tens place, making the problem into +. This is indicated by crossing out the 8, writing a 7 above it, and writing a 1 above the 6.

  9. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    Second example: 87 x 11 = 957 because 8 + 7 = 15 so the 5 goes in between the 8 and the 7 and the 1 is carried to the 8. So it is basically 857 + 100 = 957. Or if 43 x 11 is equal to first 4+3=7 (For the tens digit) Then 4 is for the hundreds and 3 is for the tens. And the answer is 473.
