  2. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    In the second step, they were divided by 3. 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

  3. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    For example, a 10 cm (3.9 in) circular would have a maximum precision approximately equal to a 31.4 cm (12.4 in) ordinary slide rule. Circular slide rules also eliminate "off-scale" calculations, because the scales were designed to "wrap around"; they never have to be reoriented when results are near 1.0—the rule is always on scale.

    Let x = the repeating decimal: x = 0.1523 987; Multiply both sides by the power of 10 just great enough (in this case 10 4) to move the decimal point just before the repeating part of the decimal number: 10,000x = 1,523. 987; Multiply both sides by the power of 10 (in this case 10 3) that is the same as the number of places that repeat:

    The largest possible ratio of the area of the inscribed square to the area of the triangle is 1/2, which occurs when =, = /, and the altitude of the triangle from the base of length is equal to . The smallest possible ratio of the side of one inscribed square to the side of another in the same non-obtuse triangle is 2 2 / 3 {\displaystyle 2 ...

    So any cleaver, like any splitter, divides the triangle into two paths each of whose length equals the semiperimeter. The three cleavers concur at the center of the Spieker circle , which is the incircle of the medial triangle ; the Spieker center is the center of mass of all the points on the triangle's edges.

  7. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    Nicolas Chuquet used a form of exponential notation in the 15th century, for example 12 2 to represent 12x 2. [11] This was later used by Henricus Grammateus and Michael Stifel in the 16th century. In the late 16th century, Jost Bürgi would use Roman numerals for exponents in a way similar to that of Chuquet, for example iii 4 for 4 x 3 .
