2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   In traditional typefounding, a piece of type bearing a complete fraction (e.g. ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠) was known as a case fraction, while those representing only parts of fractions were called piece fractions. The denominators of English fractions are generally expressed as ordinal numbers, in the plural if the numerator is not 1.

   2. Denotes the additive inverse and is read as minus, the negative of, or the opposite of; for example, –2. 3. Also used in place of \ for denoting the set-theoretic complement; see \ in § Set theory. × (multiplication sign) 1. In elementary arithmetic, denotes multiplication, and is read as times; for example, 3 × 2. 2.

   When zero is a possibility, the following terms are often used: Non-negative numbers: Real numbers that are greater than or equal to zero. Thus a non-negative number is either zero or positive. Non-positive numbers: Real numbers that are less than or equal to zero. Thus a non-positive number is either zero or negative.

5. Mediant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   However, if the fraction 1/1 is replaced by the fraction 2/2, which is an equivalent fraction denoting the same rational number 1, the mediant of the fractions 2/2 and 1/2 is 3/4. For a stronger connection to rational numbers the fractions may be required to be reduced to lowest terms, thereby selecting unique representatives from the ...

6. Number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number

   Fractions are written as two integers, the numerator and the denominator, with a dividing bar between them. The fraction ⁠ m / n ⁠ represents m parts of a whole divided into n equal parts. Two different fractions may correspond to the same rational number; for example ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠ are equal, that is:

7. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. 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 Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. An Egyptian fraction is a finite sum of distinct unit fractions, such as + +. That is, each fraction in the expression has a numerator equal to 1 and a denominator that is a positive integer, and all the denominators differ from each other.

9. Harmonic series (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   [1] [2] Every term of the harmonic series after the first is the harmonic mean of the neighboring terms, so the terms form a harmonic progression; the phrases harmonic mean and harmonic progression likewise derive from music. [2] Beyond music, harmonic sequences have also had a certain popularity with architects.
