2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   A mixed number (also called a mixed fraction or mixed numeral) is the sum of a non-zero integer and a proper fraction, conventionally written by juxtaposition (or concatenation) of the two parts, without the use of an intermediate plus (+) or minus (−) sign. When the fraction is written horizontally, a space is added between the integer and ...

3. List of types of numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_numbers

   Fractions: A representation of a non-integer as a ratio of two integers. These include improper fractions as well as mixed numbers . Continued fraction : An expression obtained through an iterative process of representing a number as the sum of its integer part and the reciprocal of another number, then writing this other number as the sum of ...

4. Formulas for generating Pythagorean triples - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formulas_for_generating...

   To calculate a Pythagorean triple, take any term of this sequence and convert it to an improper fraction (for mixed number , the corresponding improper fraction is ). Then its numerator and denominator are the sides, b and a, of a right triangle, and the hypotenuse is b + 1. For example:

5. Algebraic fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_fraction

   A complex fraction is a fraction whose numerator or denominator, or both, contains a fraction. A simple fraction contains no fraction either in its numerator or its denominator. A fraction is in lowest terms if the only factor common to the numerator and the denominator is 1. An expression which is not in fractional form is an integral ...

6. Liber Abaci - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liber_Abaci

   For instance, 1/3+1/4 = 7/12, so a notation like would represent the number that would now more commonly be written as the mixed number , or simply the improper fraction . Notation of this form can be distinguished from sequences of numerators and denominators sharing a fraction bar by the visible break in the bar.

7. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

   In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator. [1]

8. Heaviside cover-up method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaviside_cover-up_method

   When a partial fraction term has a single (i.e. unrepeated) binomial in the denominator, the numerator is a residue of the function defined by the input fraction. We calculate each respective numerator by (1) taking the root of the denominator (i.e. the value of x that makes the denominator zero) and (2) then substituting this root into the ...

9. Egyptian fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_fraction

   The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. An Egyptian fraction is a finite sum of distinct unit fractions, such as + +. That is, each fraction in the expression has a numerator equal to 1 and a denominator that is a positive integer, and all the denominators differ from each other.
