At the same time the student is generating a list of the multiples of the small number (i.e., partial quotients) that have so far been taken away, which when added up together would then become the whole number quotient itself. For example, to calculate 132 ÷ 8, one might successively subtract 80, 40 and 8 to leave 4:
If there is a remainder in solving a partition problem, the parts will end up with unequal sizes. For example, if 52 cards are dealt out to 5 players, then 3 of the players will receive 10 cards each, and 2 of the players will receive 11 cards each, since = +.
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.
If all the partial derivatives of a function are known (for example, with the gradient), then the antiderivatives can be matched via the above process to reconstruct the original function up to a constant. Unlike in the single-variable case, however, not every set of functions can be the set of all (first) partial derivatives of a single function.
For example, the p i may be the factors of the square-free factorization of g. When K is the field of rational numbers , as it is typically the case in computer algebra , this allows to replace factorization by greatest common divisor computation for computing a partial fraction decomposition.
For example, 93,−12 denotes 9288, while −16,32 denotes −1600 + 32 or −1568. (Note: 45,−16,32 denotes 448432.) ... Partial quotients with more than two digits
Partial fractions (Heaviside's ... the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable ... For example ...
The process of adding one more partial quotient to a finite continued fraction is in many ways analogous to this process of "punching a hole" in an interval of real numbers. The size of the "hole" is inversely proportional to the next partial denominator chosen – if the next partial denominator is 1, the gap between successive convergents is ...
