  2. Clearing denominators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_denominators

    In mathematics, the method of clearing denominators, also called clearing fractions, is a technique for simplifying an equation equating two expressions that each are a sum of rational expressions – which includes simple fractions.

  3. Reduction (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, reduction refers to the rewriting of an expression into a simpler form. For example, the process of rewriting a fraction into one with the smallest whole-number denominator possible (while keeping the numerator a whole number) is called "reducing a fraction".

  4. 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]

  5. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    The notion of irreducible fraction generalizes to the field of fractions of any unique factorization domain: any element of such a field can be written as a fraction in which denominator and numerator are coprime, by dividing both by their greatest common divisor. [7] This applies notably to rational expressions over a field. The irreducible ...

  6. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    A modern expression of fractions known as bhinnarasi seems to have originated in India in the work of Aryabhatta (c. AD 500), [citation needed] Brahmagupta (c. 628), and Bhaskara (c. 1150). [35] Their works form fractions by placing the numerators (Sanskrit: amsa) over the denominators (cheda), but without a bar between them. [35]

  7. Cross-multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-multiplication

    The rule of three [1] was a historical shorthand version for a particular form of cross-multiplication that could be taught to students by rote. It was considered the height of Colonial maths education [ 2 ] and still figures in the French national curriculum for secondary education, [ 3 ] and in the primary education curriculum of Spain.

    Cowlick vs. Balding: Key Differences. A cowlick differs from a bald spot in a couple key ways.. First, a cowlick is a natural, normal feature of your scalp that occurs as a result of your genes.

  9. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

    A continued fraction is an expression of the form = + + + + + where the a n (n > 0) are the partial numerators, the b n are the partial denominators, and the leading term b 0 is called the integer part of the continued fraction.
