  2. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    For example, ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠, ⁠ 5 / 6 ⁠, and ⁠ −101 / 100 ⁠ are all irreducible fractions. On the other hand, ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠ is reducible since it is equal in value to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, and the numerator of ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ is less than the numerator of ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠. A fraction that is reducible can be reduced by dividing both the numerator ...

    Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 2 −1, which represents 1/2, and 22, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two, e.g. ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 2 3 ⁠. In Unicode, precomposed fraction characters are in the Number Forms block.

  4. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    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

  5. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    Every terminating decimal representation can be written as a decimal fraction, a fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 1585 / 1000 ⁠); it may also be written as a ratio of the form ⁠ k / 2 n ·5 m ⁠ (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 317 / 2 3 ·5 2 ⁠).

  6. Ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

    As for fractions, the simplest form is considered that in which the numbers in the ratio are the smallest possible integers. Thus, the ratio 40:60 is equivalent in meaning to the ratio 2:3, the latter being obtained from the former by dividing both quantities by 20. Mathematically, we write 40:60 = 2:3, or equivalently 40:60∷2:3.

    By using a dot to divide the digits into two groups, one can also write fractions in the positional system. For example, the base 2 numeral 10.11 denotes 1×2 1 + 0×2 0 + 1×2 −1 + 1×22 = 2.75. In general, numbers in the base b system are of the form:
