Then we apply the algorithm: 1 × 15 − 3 × 75 + 2 × 14 = 182 Because the resulting 182 is less than six digits, we add zero's to the right side until it is six digits. Then we apply our algorithm again: 1 × 18 − 3 × 20 + 2 × 0 = −42 The result −42 is divisible by seven, thus the original number 157514 is divisible by seven. Example 2:
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 ...
The guests of the hotel paid $27, but also have $3 among their pockets at the story's end. Their assets are $3, and their liabilities are $27 ($30 = 27 + 3). Thus, the original total is accounted for. From the perspective of the hotel clerk, the hotel has $25 in assets and lost $5 in liabilities ($30 = 25 + 5).
The divisors of 10 illustrated with Cuisenaire rods: 1, 2, 5, and 10. In mathematics, a divisor of an integer , also called a factor of , is an integer that may be multiplied by some integer to produce . [1] In this case, one also says that is a multiple of .
Long division of 23,480 / 37 now proceeds as normal yielding 634 with remainder 22. The remainder is multiplied by 3 to get feet and carried up to the feet column. Long division of the feet gives 1 remainder 29 which is then multiplied by twelve to get 348 inches.
In arithmetic, short division is a division algorithm which breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps. It is an abbreviated form of long division — whereby the products are omitted and the partial remainders are notated as superscripts .
Thus the fraction 3 / 4 can be used to represent the ratio 3:4 (the ratio of the part to the whole), and the division 3 ÷ 4 (three divided by four). We can also write negative fractions, which represent the opposite of a positive fraction. For example, if 1 / 2 represents a half-dollar profit, then − 1 / 2 represents ...
In the division of 43 by 5, we have: 43 = 8 × 5 + 3, so 3 is the least positive remainder. We also have that: 43 = 9 × 5 − 2, and −2 is the least absolute remainder. These definitions are also valid if d is negative, for example, in the division of 43 by −5, 43 = (−8) × (−5) + 3, and 3 is the least positive remainder, while,
