  2. Egyptian fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_fraction

    The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. An Egyptian fraction is a finite sum of distinct unit fractions, such as + +. That is, each fraction in the expression has a numerator equal to 1 and a denominator that is a positive integer, and all the denominators differ from each other.

  3. Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm_for...

    The simplest fraction3 / y ⁠ with a three-term expansion is ⁠ 3 / 7 ⁠. A fraction ⁠ 4 / y ⁠ requires four terms in its greedy expansion if and only if y ≡ 1 or 17 (mod 24), for then the numerator −y mod x of the remaining fraction is 3 and the denominator is 1 (mod 6). The simplest fraction ⁠ 4 / y ⁠ with a four-term ...

  4. Pythagorean tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

    In the formulas, the ratios 3:2 or 2:3 represent an ascending or descending perfect fifth (i.e. an increase or decrease in frequency by a perfect fifth, while 2:1 or 1:2 represent a rising or lowering octave). The formulas can also be expressed in terms of powers of the third and the second harmonics.

  5. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    The picture to the right illustrates ⁠ 3 / 4 ⁠ of a cake. Fractions can be used to represent ratios and division. [1] Thus the fraction3 / 4 ⁠ can be used to represent the ratio 3:4 (the ratio of the part to the whole), and the division 3 ÷ 4 (three divided by four).

  6. Ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

    The ratio of width to height of standard-definition television. In mathematics, a ratio (/ ˈ r eɪ ʃ (i) oʊ /) shows how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3).

  7. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  8. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

    In mathematics, the Farey sequence of order n is the sequence of completely reduced fractions, either between 0 and 1, or without this restriction, [a] which when in lowest terms have denominators less than or equal to n, arranged in order of increasing size.

  9. Rhind Mathematical Papyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhind_Mathematical_Papyrus

    Problems 1–7, 7B and 8–40 are concerned with arithmetic and elementary algebra. Problems 1–6 compute divisions of a certain number of loaves of bread by 10 men and record the outcome in unit fractions. Problems 7–20 show how to multiply the expressions 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 = 7/4, and 1 + 2/3 + 1/3 = 2 by different fractions.
