  2. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    Common fractions can be positive or negative, and they can be proper or improper (see below). Compound fractions, complex fractions, mixed numerals, and decimals (see below) are not common fractions; though, unless irrational, they can be evaluated to a common fraction. A unit fraction is a common fraction with a numerator of 1 (e.g., ⁠ 1 / 7

    In 1985, CI launched a calculator for the construction industry called the Construction Master [49] which came preprogrammed with common construction calculations (such as angles, stairs, roofing math, pitch, rise, run, and feet-inch fraction conversions). This would be the first in a line of construction related calculators.

    are solved using cross-multiplication, since the missing b term is implicitly equal to 1: =. Any equation containing fractions or rational expressions can be simplified by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator. This step is called clearing fractions.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_diagram

    A tape diagram is a rectangular visual model resembling a piece of tape, that is used to assist with the calculation of ratios and addition, subtraction, and commonly multiplication. It is also known as a divided bar model, fraction strip, length model or strip diagram.

  6. Lattice multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_multiplication

    The lattice technique can also be used to multiply decimal fractions. For example, to multiply 5.8 by 2.13, the process is the same as to multiply 58 by 213 as described in the preceding section. To find the position of the decimal point in the final answer, one can draw a vertical line from the decimal point in 5.8, and a horizontal line from ...

    Multiplication in group theory is typically notated either by a dot or by juxtaposition (the omission of an operation symbol between elements). So multiplying element a by element b could be notated as a b or ab. When referring to a group via the indication of the set and operation, the dot is used.

  8. Addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

    Decimal fractions can be added by a simple modification of the above process. [39] One aligns two decimal fractions above each other, with the decimal point in the same location. If necessary, one can add trailing zeros to a shorter decimal to make it the same length as the longer decimal.

  9. UBASIC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBASIC

    When working with continued fractions, the number of terms is limited by the available accuracy and by the size of each term. An approximate formula is 2 decimal fraction digit accuracy for each (term times the base ten logarithm of the term). The only way to do such work safely is to do it twice, in parallel, with the initial input to one ...
