   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17-animal_inheritance_puzzle

   17 indivisible camels. The 17-animal inheritance puzzle is a mathematical puzzle involving unequal but fair allocation of indivisible goods, usually stated in terms of inheritance of a number of large animals (17 camels, 17 horses, 17 elephants, etc.) which must be divided in some stated proportion among a number of beneficiaries.

   For example, to change ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ to a decimal expression, divide 1 by 4 (" 4 into 1 "), to obtain exactly 0.25. To change ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ to a decimal expression, divide 1... by 3 (" 3 into 1... "), and stop when the desired precision is obtained, e.g., at four places after the decimal separator (ten-thousandths) as 0.3333.

4. Fractionation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionation

   [1] [2] Fractions are collected based on differences in a specific property of the individual components. A common trait in fractionations is the need to find an optimum between the amount of fractions collected and the desired purity in each fraction. Fractionation makes it possible to isolate more than two components in a mixture in a single run.

5. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   Sometimes this remainder is added to the quotient as a fractional part, so 10 / 3 is equal to ⁠3 + 1 / 3 ⁠ or 3.33..., but in the context of integer division, where numbers have no fractional part, the remainder is kept separately (or exceptionally, discarded or rounded). [5] When the remainder is kept as a fraction, it leads to a rational ...

8. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

   The final result, ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠, is an irreducible fraction because 4 and 3 have no common factors other than 1. The original fraction could have also been reduced in a single step by using the greatest common divisor of 90 and 120, which is 30. As 120 ÷ 30 = 4, and 90 ÷ 30 = 3, one gets = Which method is faster "by hand" depends on the ...

9. Rate (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In mathematics, a rate is the quotient of two quantities, often represented as a fraction. [1] If the divisor (or fraction denominator) in the rate is equal to one expressed as a single unit, and if it is assumed that this quantity can be changed systematically (i.e., is an independent variable), then the dividend (the fraction numerator) of the rate expresses the corresponding rate of change ...
