  2. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Answer: 7 × 1 + 6 × 10 + 5 × 9 + 4 × 12 + 3 × 3 + 2 × 4 + 1 × 1 = 178 mod 13 = 9 Remainder = 9 A recursive method can be derived using the fact that = and that =. This implies that a number is divisible by 13 iff removing the first digit and subtracting 3 times that digit from the new first digit yields a number divisible by 13.

  3. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is the quotient. Unlike the other basic operations, when dividing natural numbers there is sometimes a remainder that will not go evenly into the dividend; for example, 10 / 3 leaves a remainder of 1, as 10 is not a multiple of 3.

  4. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.

  5. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    For example, using single-precision IEEE arithmetic, if x = −2 −149, then x/2 underflows to −0, and dividing 1 by this result produces 1/(x/2) = −∞. The exact result −2 150 is too large to represent as a single-precision number, so an infinity of the same sign is used instead to indicate overflow.

  6. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.

  7. Divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisor

    For example, there are six divisors of 4; they are 1, 2, 4, −1, −2, and −4, but only the positive ones (1, 2, and 4) would usually be mentioned. 1 and −1 divide (are divisors of) every integer. Every integer (and its negation) is a divisor of itself. Integers divisible by 2 are called even, and integers not divisible by 2 are called odd ...
