  2. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    A divisibility rule is a shorthand and useful way of determining whether a given integer is divisible by a fixed divisor without performing the division, usually by examining its digits. Although there are divisibility tests for numbers in any radix , or base, and they are all different, this article presents rules and examples only for decimal ...

  3. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    The rule to calculate significant figures for multiplication and division are not the same as the rule for addition and subtraction. For multiplication and division, only the total number of significant figures in each of the factors in the calculation matters; the digit position of the last significant figure in each factor is irrelevant.

  4. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    Mannheim's rule had two major modifications that made it easier to use than previous general-purpose slide rules. Such rules had four basic scales, A, B, C, and D, and D was the only single-decade logarithmic scale; C had two decades, like A and B. Most operations were done on the A and B scales; D was only used for finding squares and square ...

  5. Table of divisors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_divisors

    The tables below list all of the divisors of the numbers 1 to 1000. A divisor of an integer n is an integer m , for which n / m is again an integer (which is necessarily also a divisor of n ). For example, 3 is a divisor of 21, since 21/7 = 3 (and therefore 7 is also a divisor of 21).

  6. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

    When representing uncertainty by significant digits, uncertainty can be coarsely propagated by rounding the result of adding or subtracting two or more quantities to the leftmost last significant decimal place among the summands, and by rounding the result of multiplying or dividing two or more quantities to the least number of significant ...

  7. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

  8. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Logarithm tables can be used to divide two numbers, by subtracting the two numbers' logarithms, then looking up the antilogarithm of the result. Division can be calculated with a slide rule by aligning the divisor on the C scale with the dividend on the D scale. The quotient can be found on the D scale where it is aligned with the left index on ...

  9. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    Lay out the digits out like this. The most significant digit (10) is "dropped": 10 1 0 11 <- Digits of 0xA10B ----- 10 Then we multiply the bottom number from the source base (16), the product is placed under the next digit of the source value, and then add: 10 1 0 11 160 ----- 10 161 Repeat until the final addition is performed: 10 1 0 11 160 ...
