2. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

   Conversely the period of the repeating decimal of a fraction ⁠ c / d ⁠ will be (at most) the smallest number n such that 10 n − 1 is divisible by d. For example, the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ has d = 7, and the smallest k that makes 10 k − 1 divisible by 7 is k = 6, because 999999 = 7 × 142857. The period of the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ is ...

3. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

   Irreducible fraction. An irreducible fraction (or fraction in lowest terms, simplest form or reduced fraction) is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are integers that have no other common divisors than 1 (and −1, when negative numbers are considered). [1] In other words, a fraction ⁠a b⁠ is irreducible if and only if a and ...

4. Seismic magnitude scales - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_magnitude_scales

   In the simplest case the moment can be calculated knowing only the amount of slip, the area of the surface ruptured or slipped, and a factor for the resistance or friction encountered. These factors can be estimated for an existing fault to determine the magnitude of past earthquakes, or what might be anticipated for the future. [49]

6. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

   The following list includes the continued fractions of some constants and is sorted by their representations. Continued fractions with more than 20 known terms have been truncated, with an ellipsis to show that they continue. Rational numbers have two continued fractions; the version in this list is the shorter one.

7. Number Forms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_Forms

   Number Forms is a Unicode block containing Unicode compatibility characters that have specific meaning as numbers, but are constructed from other characters. They consist primarily of vulgar fractions and Roman numerals. In addition to the characters in the Number Forms block, three fractions (¼, ½, and ¾) were inherited from ISO-8859-1 ...
