   The problems cover elementary arithmetic; fractions; inverse proportion; factorization of numbers; geometric progressions, in particular interest rate calculations and handling of errors; conversion between different units; the false position method for finding roots and the extraction of approximate square roots; calculation of the volume of ...

3. Clearing denominators - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_denominators

   The result is an equation with no fractions. The simplified equation is not entirely equivalent to the original. For when we substitute y = 0 and z = 0 in the last equation, both sides simplify to 0, so we get 0 = 0, a mathematical truth.

4. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator

   In mathematics, the lowest common denominator or least common denominator (abbreviated LCD) is the lowest common multiple of the denominators of a set of fractions. It simplifies adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions.

   A cake with one quarter (one fourth) removed. The remaining three fourths are shown by dotted lines and labeled by the fraction ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ A fraction (from Latin: fractus, "broken") represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain ...

6. Cross-multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-multiplication

   This is a common procedure in mathematics, used to reduce fractions or calculate a value for a given variable in a fraction. If we have an equation =, where x is a variable we are interested in solving for, we can use cross-multiplication to determine that =.

7. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

   In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator. [1]

8. Solving quadratic equations with continued fractions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

   If this infinite continued fraction converges at all, it must converge to one of the roots of the monic polynomial x 2 + bx + c = 0. Unfortunately, this particular continued fraction does not converge to a finite number in every case. We can easily see that this is so by considering the quadratic formula and a monic polynomial with real ...
