  2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Division is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic. The other operations are addition, subtraction, and multiplication. What is being divided is called the dividend, which is divided by the divisor, and the result is called the quotient. At an elementary level the division of two natural numbers is, among other possible interpretations ...

  3. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

    A finite regular continued fraction, where is a non-negative integer, is an integer, and is a positive integer, for . A continued fraction is a mathematical expression that can be writen as a fraction with a denominator that is a sum that contains another simple or continued fraction. Depending on whether this iteration terminates with a simple ...

  4. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    To test for divisibility by D, where D ends in 1, 3, 7, or 9, the following method can be used. [12] Find any multiple of D ending in 9. (If D ends respectively in 1, 3, 7, or 9, then multiply by 9, 3, 7, or 1.) Then add 1 and divide by 10, denoting the result as m. Then a number N = 10t + q is divisible by D if and only if mq + t is divisible ...

    It is unknown whether these constants are transcendental in general, but Γ(⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) and Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) were shown to be transcendental by G. V. Chudnovsky. Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠) / 4 √ π has also long been known to be transcendental, and Yuri Nesterenko proved in 1996 that Γ(⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠), π, and e π are algebraically independent.

    For instance, the rational numbers , , and are written as 0.1, 3.71, and 0.0044 in the decimal fraction notation. [100] Modified versions of integer calculation methods like addition with carry and long multiplication can be applied to calculations with decimal fractions. [ 101 ]

  7. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    [1] For example, the expression "5 mod 2" evaluates to 1, because 5 divided by 2 has a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 1, while "9 mod 3" would evaluate to 0, because 9 divided by 3 has a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 0. Although typically performed with a and n both being integers, many computing systems now allow other types of numeric ...

  8. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    The golden ratio's negative −φ and reciprocal φ−1 are the two roots of the quadratic polynomial x2 + x − 1. The golden ratio is also an algebraic number and even an algebraic integer. It has minimal polynomial. This quadratic polynomial has two roots, and. The golden ratio is also closely related to the polynomial.

  9. Addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

    Addition. 3 + 2 = 5 with apples, a popular choice in textbooks [1] Addition (usually signified by the plus symbol +) is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, the other three being subtraction, multiplication and division. [2] The addition of two whole numbers results in the total amount or sum of those values combined.
