  2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Modulo - Wikipedia

    For example, the expression "5 mod 2" evaluates to 1, because 5 divided by 2 has a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 1, while "9 mod 3" would evaluate to 0, because 9 divided by 3 has a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 0. Although typically performed with a and n both being integers, many computing systems now allow other types of numeric operands.

    When R is chosen to have the value of 2 (R = 2), this equation would be recognized in Cartesian coordinates as the equation for the circle of radius of 2 around the origin. Hence, the equation with R unspecified is the general equation for the circle. Usually, the unknowns are denoted by letters at the end of the alphabet, x, y, z, w ...

    has no real number solution since no real number squared equals −1. Sometimes a quadratic equation has a root of multiplicity 2, such as: (+) = For this equation, −1 is a root of multiplicity 2. This means −1 appears twice, since the equation can be rewritten in factored form as

  8. Amicable numbers - Wikipedia

    where n > 1 is an integer and p, q, r are prime numbers, then 2 n × p × q and 2 n × r are a pair of amicable numbers. This formula gives the pairs (220, 284) for n = 2, (17296, 18416) for n = 4, and (9363584, 9437056) for n = 7, but no other such pairs are known. Numbers of the form 3 × 2 n − 1 are known as Thabit numbers.

  9. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Take each digit of the number (371) in reverse order (173), multiplying them successively by the digits 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, repeating with this sequence of multipliers as long as necessary (1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, ...), and adding the products (1×1 + 7×3 + 3×2 = 1 + 21 + 6 = 28). The original number is divisible by 7 if and only if ...
