  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  3. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    Notation for the (principal) square root of x. For example, √ 25 = 5, since 25 = 55, or 5 2 (5 squared). In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that =; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or ) is x. [1]

  4. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Lucas numbers have L 1 = 1, L 2 = 3, and L n = L n−1 + L n−2. Primefree sequences use the Fibonacci recursion with other starting points to generate sequences in which all numbers are composite. Letting a number be a linear function (other than the sum) of the 2 preceding numbers. The Pell numbers have P n = 2P n−1 + P n−2.

  5. Square root of 2 - Wikipedia

    The first convergents are: ⁠ 1 / 1 ⁠, ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, ⁠ 7 / 5 ⁠, ⁠ 17 / 12 ⁠, ⁠ 41 / 29 ⁠, ⁠ 99 / 70 ⁠, ⁠ 239 / 169 ⁠, ⁠ 577 / 408 ⁠ and the convergent following ⁠ p / q ⁠ is ⁠ p + 2q / p + q ⁠. The convergent ⁠ p / q ⁠ differs from by almost exactly ⁠ 1 / 22 q 2 ⁠, which follows from:

  6. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    When an exponent is a positive integer, that exponent indicates how many copies of the base are multiplied together. For example, 3 5 = 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 · 3 = 243. The base 3 appears 5 times in the multiplication, because the exponent is 5. Here, 243 is the 5th power of 3, or 3 raised to the 5th power.

  7. List of numbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numbers

    A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.

    1 3 = 1 up 1; 2 3 = 8 down 3; 3 3 = 27 down 1; 4 3 = 64 down 3; 5 3 = 125 up 1; 6 3 = 216 up 1; 7 3 = 343 down 3; 8 3 = 512 down 1; 9 3 = 729 down 3; 10 3 = 1000 up 1; There are two steps to extracting the cube root from the cube of a two-digit number. For example, extracting the cube root of 29791. Determine the one's place (units) of the two ...
