2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In abstract algebra, given a magma with binary operation ∗ (which could nominally be termed multiplication), left division of b by a (written a \ b) is typically defined as the solution x to the equation a ∗ x = b, if this exists and is unique. Similarly, right division of b by a (written b / a) is the solution y to the equation y ∗ a = b ...

3. Quotition and partition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotition_and_partition

   Quotition is the concept of division most used in measurement. For example, measuring the length of a table using a measuring tape involves comparing the table to the markings on the tape. This is conceptually equivalent to dividing the length of the table by a unit of length, the distance between markings.

4. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   In a complex fraction, either the numerator, or the denominator, or both, is a fraction or a mixed number, [22] [23] corresponding to division of fractions. For example, / / and () / are complex fractions. To interpret nested fractions written "stacked" with a horizontal fraction bars, treat shorter bars as nested inside longer bars.

5. Division by zero - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

   Such an interminable division-by-zero algorithm is physically exhibited by some mechanical calculators. [4] In partitive division, the dividend is imagined to be split into parts, and the quotient is the resulting size of each part. For example, imagine ten cookies are to be divided among two friends.

6. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

   Dividing by Q(x) this gives () = + (), and then seek partial fractions for the remainder fraction (which by definition satisfies deg R < deg Q). If Q ( x ) contains factors which are irreducible over the given field, then the numerator N ( x ) of each partial fraction with such a factor F ( x ) in the denominator must be sought as a polynomial ...

7. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

   Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.
