2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   A compound fraction is a fraction of a fraction, or any number of fractions connected with the word of, [22] [23] corresponding to multiplication of fractions. To reduce a compound fraction to a simple fraction, just carry out the multiplication (see § Multiplication).

3. Unit fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_fraction

   Multiplying two unit fractions produces another unit fraction, but other arithmetic operations do not preserve unit fractions. In modular arithmetic, unit fractions can be converted into equivalent whole numbers, allowing modular division to be transformed into multiplication.

4. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

   A fixed-point representation of a fractional number is essentially an integer that is to be implicitly multiplied by a fixed scaling factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be stored in a variable as the integer value 1230 with implicit scaling factor of 1/1000 (meaning that the last 3 decimal digits are implicitly assumed to be a decimal fraction), and the value 1 230 000 can be represented ...

5. Multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

   Systematic generalizations of this basic definition define the multiplication of integers (including negative numbers), rational numbers (fractions), and real numbers. Multiplication can also be visualized as counting objects arranged in a rectangle (for whole numbers) or as finding the area of a rectangle whose sides have some given lengths.

6. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

   Common tools in early arithmetic education are number lines, addition and multiplication tables, counting blocks, and abacuses. [186] Later stages focus on a more abstract understanding and introduce the students to different types of numbers, such as negative numbers, fractions, real numbers, and complex numbers.

7. Multiplication and repeated addition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_and...

   Multiplication is often defined for natural numbers, then extended to whole numbers, fractions, and irrational numbers. However, abstract algebra has a more general definition of multiplication as a binary operation on some objects that may or may not be numbers. Notably, one can multiply complex numbers, vectors, matrices, and quaternions.

8. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

   The sum of two numbers is unique; there is only one correct answer for a sums. [8] When the sum of a pair of digits results in a two-digit number, the "tens" digit is referred to as the "carry digit". [9] In elementary arithmetic, students typically learn to add whole numbers and may also learn about topics such as negative numbers and fractions.

9. Addition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

   A whole number followed immediately by a fraction indicates the sum of the two, called a mixed number. [4] For example, = + = This notation can cause confusion, since in most other contexts, juxtaposition denotes multiplication instead. [5]
