2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In abstract algebra, given a magma with binary operation ∗ (which could nominally be termed multiplication), left division of b by a (written a \ b) is typically defined as the solution x to the equation a ∗ x = b, if this exists and is unique. Similarly, right division of b by a (written b / a) is the solution y to the equation y ∗ a = b ...

3. Long division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

   If necessary, simplify the long division problem by moving the decimals of the divisor and dividend by the same number of decimal places, to the right (or to the left), so that the decimal of the divisor is to the right of the last digit. When doing long division, keep the numbers lined up straight from top to bottom under the tableau.

4. Short division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_division

   As in all division problems, a number called the dividend is divided by another, called the divisor. The answer to the problem would be the quotient, and in the case of Euclidean division, the remainder would be included as well. Using short division, arbitrarily large dividends can be handled. [1]

5. Quotition and partition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotition_and_partition

   Thought of quotitively, a division problem can be solved by repeatedly subtracting groups of the size of the divisor. [1] For instance, suppose each egg carton fits 12 eggs, and the problem is to find how many cartons are needed to fit 36 eggs in total. Groups of 12 eggs at a time can be separated from the main pile until none are left, 3 groups:

6. List of unsolved problems in fair division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

   With = agents, an envy-free division can be found using two queries, via divide and choose. With > agents, there are several open problems regarding the number of required queries. 1. First, assume that the entire cake must be allocated (i.e., there is no disposal), and pieces may be disconnected.

7. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

   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.
