  2. Integer partition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_partition

    4 3 + 1 2 + 2 2 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. The only partition of zero is the empty sum, having no parts. The order-dependent composition 1 + 3 is the same partition as 3 + 1, and the two distinct compositions 1 + 2 + 1 and 1 + 1 + 2 represent the same partition as 2 + 1 + 1. An individual summand in a partition is called a part.

  3. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    In the second step, they were divided by 3. The final result, ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠, is an irreducible fraction because 4 and 3 have no common factors other than 1. The original fraction could have also been reduced in a single step by using the greatest common divisor of 90 and 120, which is 30. As 120 ÷ 30 = 4, and 90 ÷ 30 = 3, one gets

  4. 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 ...

  5. Kostant partition function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kostant_partition_function

    In representation theory, a branch of mathematics, the Kostant partition function, introduced by Bertram Kostant (1958, 1959), of a root system is the number of ways one can represent a vector as a non-negative integer linear combination of the positive roots +.

  6. Prime number theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number_theorem

    For example, π(10) = 4 because there are four prime numbers (2, 3, 5 and 7) less than or equal to 10. The prime number theorem then states that x / log x is a good approximation to π ( x ) (where log here means the natural logarithm), in the sense that the limit of the quotient of the two functions π ( x ) and x / log x as x increases ...

  7. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    A positive or negative number when divided by zero is a fraction with the zero as denominator. Zero divided by a negative or positive number is either zero or is expressed as a fraction with zero as numerator and the finite quantity as denominator. Zero divided by zero is zero. In 830, Mahāvīra unsuccessfully tried to correct the mistake ...

  8. Singly and doubly even - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singly_and_doubly_even

    This definition applies to positive and negative numbers n, although some authors restrict it to positive n; and one may define the 2-order of 0 to be infinity (see also parity of zero). [2] The 2-order of n is written ν 2 ( n ) or ord 2 ( n ).

  9. Table of prime factors - Wikipedia

    A perfect power has a common divisor m > 1 for all multiplicities (it is of the form a m for some a > 1 and m > 1). The first: 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 32, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 (sequence A001597 in the OEIS ). 1 is sometimes included.
