2. Long division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

   If necessary, simplify the long division problem by moving the decimals of the divisor and dividend by the same number of decimal places, to the right (or to the left), so that the decimal of the divisor is to the right of the last digit. When doing long division, keep the numbers lined up straight from top to bottom under the tableau.

3. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

   Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.

4. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In these enlarged number systems, division is the inverse operation to multiplication, that is a = c / b means a × b = c, as long as b is not zero. If b = 0, then this is a division by zero, which is not defined. [a] [4]: 246 In the 21-apples example, everyone would receive 5 apple and a quarter of an apple, thus avoiding any leftover.

5. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

   Polynomial long division can be used to find the equation of the line that is tangent to the graph of the function defined by the polynomial P(x) at a particular point x = r. [3] If R ( x ) is the remainder of the division of P ( x ) by ( x – r ) 2 , then the equation of the tangent line at x = r to the graph of the function y = P ( x ) is y ...

6. Chunking (division) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking_(division)

   Compared to the short division and long division methods that are traditionally taught, chunking may seem strange, unsystematic, and arbitrary. However, it is argued that chunking, rather than moving straight to short division, gives a better introduction to division, in part because the focus is always holistic, focusing throughout on the ...

7. Galley division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galley_division

   However, Lam Lay Yong's research pointed out that the galley method of division originated in the 1st century AD in ancient China. [1] The galley method writes fewer figures than long division, and results in interesting shapes and pictures as it expands both above and below the initial lines. It was the preferred method of division for ...

8. Short division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_division

   It is an abbreviated form of long division — whereby the products are omitted and the partial remainders are notated as superscripts. As a result, a short division tableau is shorter than its long division counterpart — though sometimes at the expense of relying on mental arithmetic, which could limit the size of the divisor.

9. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

   Algebraic functions are functions that can be expressed as the solution of a polynomial equation with integer coefficients.. Polynomials: Can be generated solely by addition, multiplication, and raising to the power of a positive integer.
