    [2] [3] [4] It is equivalent to ⁠ 1 / 400 ⁠ of a turn, [5] ⁠ 9 / 10 ⁠ of a degree, or ⁠ π / 200 ⁠ of a radian. Measuring angles in gradians (gons) is said to employ the centesimal system of angular measurement, initiated as part of metrication and decimalisation efforts.

    An orange that has been sliced into two halves. In mathematics, division by two or halving has also been called mediation or dimidiation. [1] The treatment of this as a different operation from multiplication and division by other numbers goes back to the ancient Egyptians, whose multiplication algorithm used division by two as one of its fundamental steps.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    The binary number system expresses any number as a sum of powers of 2, and denotes it as a sequence of 0 and 1, separated by a binary point, where 1 indicates a power of 2 that appears in the sum; the exponent is determined by the place of this 1: the nonnegative exponents are the rank of the 1 on the left of the point (starting from 0), and ...

    As one special case, it can be used to prove that if n is a positive integer then 4 divides () if and only if n is not a power of 2. It follows from Legendre's formula that the p -adic exponential function has radius of convergence p − 1 / ( p − 1 ) {\displaystyle p^{-1/(p-1)}} .

    A divided power structure (or PD-structure, after the French puissances divisées) on I is a collection of maps : for n = 0, 1, 2, ... such that: γ 0 ( x ) = 1 {\displaystyle \gamma _{0}(x)=1} and γ 1 ( x ) = x {\displaystyle \gamma _{1}(x)=x} for x ∈ I {\displaystyle x\in I} , while γ n ( x ) ∈ I {\displaystyle \gamma _{n}(x)\in I} for ...

    ) 3 and (3 2) 3, respectively) and as squares ((2 3) 2 and (3 3) 2, respectively) In arithmetic and algebra the sixth power of a number n is the result of multiplying six instances of n together. So: n 6 = n × n × n × n × n × n. Sixth powers can be formed by multiplying a number by its fifth power, multiplying the square of a number by its ...
